Before we get into today’s rabbit hole, we wanted to share an exciting update — and a little behind‑the‑scenes honesty.

🛸 Join Us Live: Before Roswell – Tacoma’s Maury Island Incident

On June 3rd, 2026, Jody and Shea will be part of a McMenamins History Pub event in Tacoma, Washington, held at McMenamins Elks Temple in the historic Spanish Ballroom.

The program, Before Roswell: Tacoma’s Maury Island Incident, explores the strange, complicated, and often‑overlooked UFO case that put Tacoma at the center of flying saucers, mysterious men in black, and a federal investigation — weeks before Roswell captured the world’s attention.

This is a collaborative presentation featuring:

• Rainy Day Rabbit Holes Podcast — storytelling and narrative context
• Chris Staudinger of Pretty Gritty Tours — historical and cultural context rooted in Tacoma’s gritty reality
• Steve Edmiston, filmmaker and founder of the Men In Black Birthday Bash — an in‑depth examination of the case and its lasting legacy

📍 Where: McMenamins Elks Temple, Spanish Ballroom (Tacoma, WA)

📅 When: June 3rd, 2026

💛 A Behind‑the‑Scenes Update

We also wanted to share a little honesty about the show.

Each episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes involves researching, reading, outlining, writing, recording, editing, releasing, maintaining the website, and keeping up with social media. It’s a labor of love — but it can also be a lot.

Jody and Shea are both feeling a bit stretched thin right now. We love this podcast deeply and can’t imagine it not being part of our lives, but we never want it to become something we resent or phone in. Keeping the joy alive matters to us.

So, going forward:

• Full‑length episodes will be released every other week
• On the off weeks, we’ll still bring you 5 Minute Fridays, because those are fun and low‑lift
• We may also take a short summer break (a month or two) to fully recharge and come back refreshed

You may also hear some guest hosts from our Umbrella Podcast Collective, including:

• Laura & Stephen from Midday Movies
• Kevin from Tyrant in Training
• And Shea’s big brother, Jason
