So much content, so little time. Who could ever watch it all? Not us, so we're speculating. Happenstance is a silly yet incisive podcast hosted by friends, comedians, and longtime good guessers, Jyotsna Suresh and Sam Gibson. Every Tuesday, we give our stance on what happens in a TV Show or movie we've never seen, and then at the end, we learn what's up. And hey, we wanna hear from you too.
