About This Podcast

Two star-crossed chatterboxes armed with microphones and an overflowing cache of comedic tales. That’s us— Ali and Alex, the co-hosts of Barely Brief! Our weekly show is anything but concise, as we ramble on about our day-to-day misadventures and wrap everything up with a heaping side of laughter. But wait, there’s more! Our show features a special segment called “PQW” (pee-quah): P is for the Peak of the week—our brightest highlight. Q is for the Question of the week—where we ask each other a very deep philosophical question. W is for “What in the world?!”—the outlandish, eyebrow-raising, or downright bizarre event that left us wondering if we’re living in the Matrix. Here on Patreon, you’ll get access to all our episodes in video format, and maybe even some bonus banter for those who enjoy a little extra chaos. Join us, share in our laughter, and become part of the Barely Brief family. Because, let’s face it, life is too short to be taken seriously… and who doesn’t love a podcast that promises to be anything but brief? Your support keeps us talking (and talking, and talking…). Thanks for helping us keep the jokes rolling, the stories flowing, and the world wondering what, exactly, is going on!
