Sometimes signs say more than we think!

49 min - Anniversary Special | FLX Flow
We are about ready to begin production on Season 4 of TYFU, but we couldn't let our THREE YEAR anniversary go by without acknowledging the milestone. Beth is on vacation, so it's up to Marilla to break to break the news to our producer that they have visiting other podcasts on the side. Too Bad for Kelly Walker. In January, Beth and Marilla traveled to Trumansburg to guest on the excellent FLX Flow podcast, which features interesting guests from all around the Finger Lakes. You can follow the link for that episode and all of their wonderful episodes. Thanks to FLX Flow for permission to share the interview with Beth and Marilla in celebration of our anniversary.
