Belly laughs are a given when you ramble with Loren Follmer! Even though he isn't from the Village, he lives close by and you may recognize his voice from 97.7. We finally get to talk "off air" and about all the things you can't say on the radio. We are both addicted to people watching, especially at the beach and at the airport! Loren is one of the funniest and most positive people I know and I'm sure you will enjoy the banter. He will definitely need to be a return guest...enjoy!

So this podcast is what happens when one of your favorites that you haven't seen in way too long comes to town. We may have "chatted" too long before we started recording so I apologize if it sounds like we've had a few beers! She may not have grown up in the Village but knows some people who have. We remember fun times and try to figure out why people do some of the things they do. Please share, review, follow and keep coming back!

Sorry for the delay everyone...life happens! Remember All, not every episode will be about Alexis specifically but my friends, people from small towns and other cool cats, will always be on to ramble about topics from a small town perspective.
