Right now, we make a How to Adult episode every week. We really want to create a new, 60-second "mini-episodes" series wherein we bust common adulthood myths and quickly answer its most perplexing enigmas. This new series would be on our channel, and would be in addition to the HTA we know and love. Double the videos, double the fun, guys!
