A single text turned into 70 episodes, a coast-to-coast map of new friends, and a global community we never saw coming. We close out season one with open hearts and full notebooks: the origin story, the surprises, and the bold shift that sets up what comes next.  Growth surprised us. We expected midlife women to make up the core audience because those are our stories, yet the download map and messages told another tale. Young listeners arrived, men tuned in, families played segments on road trips, and whole vet clinics became unofficial street teams. We list the cities that lit us up, and speak to what made that reach possible: consistent publishing, honest conversation, and a tone that mixes humor with care. For creators, this is a reminder that specificity attracts; when you speak plainly about your life, you don’t shrink your audience, you signal authenticity that travels.

Holiday season used to feel like a slow build. Now it’s a sprint: Halloween launches in July, Thanksgiving gets squeezed, and December arrives with a storage bin avalanche. We get honest about how that pace numbs the joy—and what to do when the yard turns into a plastic parade. From HOAs setting limits on tree lawns to cities asking neighbors to dial it back, boundaries can actually make celebrations better. But the real reset starts at home: we lay out a practical “use-it-or-lose-it” plan to death clean our holiday bins, keep what matters, and give the rest a graceful goodbye.

Gratitude doesn’t have to be grand to be real. We open our Thankful Sunday by naming the people who make this show possible—Chrissy’s quick wit, DJ Nick’s sharp edits, Kerry's ongoing laugh trac, and Farm Boy Jim’s steady support that keeps our energy up even off-mic. From first test recordings to our 67th episode, we trace how a small idea became a growing community across 12 countries and 196 cities, and why the numbers matter only because the people behind them do.

What do you do when the wildest stories in your life are the ones you didn’t cause—you just watched? We dive into the hilarious and heartfelt mess of secondhand dysfunction: a sibling clinging to a car hood to save neighborhood kittens, a dad proudly returning from the pound with “our” collie that was definitely a Labrador, and a mysterious 70s women’s gathering where a legally blind grandmother briefly claimed clear sight. It’s a tour through the moments we’ve normalized, the roles we played as witnesses, and the ways humor helps us carry complicated love for the people who raised us.

It's Flashback Friday, we are going back to Episode 12 Dysfunctional Superstitions and Idiosyncrasies. Ever follow a rule you can’t explain—like never putting a hat on the bed or refusing to go straight home after a funeral—and feel a jolt if someone breaks it? We revisit the strange superstitions and sticky family quirks that still tug at our choices, especially in spooky season, and trace how they became part of our daily scripts.

The Dysfunciton of Phobias and Fears is on the list this episode. If you can stand on a mountain ledge but freeze on a glass walkway, this one’s for you.  We also scan a Halloween‑flavored list of phobias (arachnophobia, coulrophobia, nyctophobia, and more), laughing at the labels without dismissing the lived reality behind them. Under the humor sits a practical core: fear becomes dysfunctional when it narrows your life.

Fall shows up like a guest who brings both flowers and a suitcase of trouble, and we spend this episode unpacking the contradictions. On one hand, there’s the slow-fire beauty of leaves, warm days paired with crisp nights, and that comforting hush when the air thins out. On the other hand, we feel the quiet grief of summer ending, the looming dread of snow or its slushy cousins, and the way the calendar tips us toward holidays, expectations, and endless errands. Join as we dive into the dysfunction of Fall.

Want a feel‑good story with real stakes and zero fluff? We’re shining a light on United Way of Wayne and Holmes Counties of Wooster OH and the everyday magic that happens when a community decides to invest in its own—books for kids, safe places for families, and a downtown 5K that turns generosity into a party. Tune in to hear about our October Junkies CARE spotlight organization and sponsored event.
