The episode description refers to itself in the third person as Sharon welcomes Julie Threlkeld (modernstories.com) to the guest star chair.  Modern Stories Mix is the podcast that Julie hosts, and she describes how she likes it to focus on one story from one person.  Julie then tells of how she got started in storytelling as a way to get over social anxiety AND her heady experience shopping for a fashionable cane.  The two then sample some chicken hot dogs and assume that people are laughing.
