My Name Is Sheba

In this, our second intermission episode we're once again doing something a little different. It's kind of a palette cleanser. I hope you like it. It's a new concept for a series called, "I Had This…", as in I had this house, this car, this one teacher. Or, in the case of this episode, "I Had This Dog." We all have those quirky standout stories we experience and remember…and look back on as being unique, or special. And sometimes, we actually learn something. This episode is entitled "Jake The Ween." It's a true story, and you can follow him on his Instagram account, @jaketheween. Last thing… I have an ask here: If you want to hear more of these, or even have an idea yourself, I'd love for you to let me know. I'm not quite sure we're gonna make this a series yet. But if it resonates, that'd be great. Just email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

This special episode was written, recorded, and produced by me, Monroe Jones. Loops, tracks, and other music created by the host, yours truly, using Splice, Storyblocks, Logic, and Pro Tools. The version you heard of "Alone Again Naturally," was performed by James Parker. It was written and originally performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan.
