Play Hooky

This mental health medicine is just for you.

Ugh...  all work and no play. We have responsibilities (perhaps this word in caps?). Hectic, non-stop lives prevent us from simply playing. You remember... messing around with no point to it? Funny thing is, playing can spur all sorts of creative thinking and free your mind for focused work.

Admit it... we all dream of just taking the day off. It could be as easy as heading to work and simply turning left instead of right. Where would we find ourselves?? If you can't take a bonafide hooky day, you're still entitled to a respite, so we're going to make it a dandy. Here's the trick: you can play incognito by living vicariously through someone else's adventure!

Here's the best hooky day ever, rolled into 32 spectacular podcast minutes. Our pals, PJ and Alex from Reply All, simply stop working and go outside in New York City.
