  <description><![CDATA[<p><em>Life’s full of moments. Some are big, like breakups or breakthroughs. Others are small, like a weird conversation with a stranger or an unfortunate haircut.</em></p><p>Welcome to Finch &amp; Sparrow, where Cary and April obsess over the strange, subtle, and sometimes stupidly profound moments that shape us. They’re not therapists (thank God), but they are endlessly curious about why we do what we do, and how a single experience can quietly (or loudly) change everything.</p><p>Whether it’s a deep realization in traffic or an emotional epiphany an episode, they’re here to dig into it. The good, the bad, and the awkward. Especially the awkward.</p>]]></description>
