World According to George
George Thomas is an uninspired, puffy midwestern man in his early 30s looking for something more from life as he gets older and older. Unmarried and without children, George frequently finds himself in the super-minority amongst his peers. If you’re a bored corporate drone or someone who just misses being your younger self looking for someone to commiserate with, this might be the show for you. Follow George as he sounds off everyday life including friendships, relationships, etiquette, travel and his constant battle with food and getting into shape. George can be found in Chicago. New episodes drop every other Thursday wherever podcasts are available.
