Episode Description from the Publisher

The year was 2011. We had Occupy Wall Street, Hangover II, 50 Shades of Grey… and a podcast named Scriptnotes. On this episode, John and Craig celebrate their podcast Quinceañera, marking fifteen years together on mic. They reflect on their very first episode, the content and cultural moments that marked 2011, and everything that's changed since. In our bonus segment for premium subscribers, John and Craig look forward fifteen years to make predictions on the year 2041.
