  • Dead People Lore

     Have you ever heard something really weird about someone… but at their funeral? I found out that allegedly my dad RODE A MOTORCYCLE. I wanted to hear about the craziest lore that’s been dropped about people you knew after they died, and you delivered: handcuffs, bathtub gin, and secret pregnancies.

  • The Widower (Girl, run)

    Every once and a while, we get an email that Nora just can’t resist making an entire episode about. This week’s subject is dating a widower – but is she really? It seems like the connection is fading fast. Relationships are complicated, and sometimes, we all need a little tough love to remind us what we’re worth.


    This episode is available ad-free on Substack.

  • Giving Away the Farm

    Kathy Barker isn’t just the founder of Barker Farm – she’s a mother, an advocate for mental health awareness and breaking the stigma of food insecurity, and a self-proclaimed “worker bee.” She’s committed to helping others, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also because she once needed that help. Today, she shares with Nora the story of surviving domestic violence, financial instability, and the building of Barker Farm.
