On this week's Snap Chat, Lesa's four-year-old daughter Frida joins the Are We Pals? team in the fort! They answer a Pod Pal question from a male listener who realised, after being asked to produce photos of his best friend for a hen do, that he had a distinct lack of photos of his friends. This reminded him of a song by NoFX which was sung by the lead singer after his friend passed away, and touches on the fact you never take photos of your best friends because you never think that you'll never see them again. As they try to tackle that, Lesa and Sammy also try to keep Frida entertained. Who says the modern podcaster can't parent AND work at the same time?
