Obscure Chatter

“No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become.” — Stephen King (The Stand)

September has been… let’s go with interesting.

Join host Terri Doty as she closes out the month.

Terri briefly talks about friend and colleague Mike McFarland at the top of the episode.

Please keep in mind that it’s impossible to share everything. 

September Media includes Robert Jackson Bennett’s A Trade Of Blood, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Depeche Mode, The White Lotus and much, much more! If you want to know what else made the list, just start the episode!

In addition to all the cool things that were read/watched/heard, Terri tries to focus on the good more than the not-so-great and/or downright shitty. Topics include Chef Stephen, A Rose at Discount Tire and so on.

*CORRECTION: When referring to her 16 years experience, Terri should have said 2 years. We blame this slip of the tongue and any (potential) others on a lack of pizza. We will do better in the future by always having pizza in the immediate vicinity.
