There's a Podcast Under My Bed!!

The hotline to the otherside! This episode we dive into the Ouija board. Is it pronounced 'Wee-ji" or Wuu-ja"...or "Oo-ee-ji". We talked about the origin of the ghostly communication device and its inclusion in the toy aisle. We enjoyed digging into this episode and hope you enjoy listening. 

Goodbye!

What can we say. You win some and you lose some. We tried discussing trolls and ended up kind of a chaotic mess. So, maybe not our best episode ever, but hopefully you will find some entertaining nuggets of information within. We'll be better next time. Promise!

We decided to drop a quick mini episode trying to get back in the swing of things. Today we talked about The Cursed Week. From the Lincoln assassination to the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a lot of disastrous events happened around the middle of April, earning this week its nickname. Check out the two articles linked below for additional details.

Were you fascinated by dinosaurs when you were young? Were you told the loud booming sounds of the gravel company next door was a dinosaur stomping around, just waiting to grab you and eat you if you misbehaved? I'm betting one of those is accurate unless you are Jessica, in which you lived in fear of the dino-next-door. This week we explore our child-hood love of dinosaurs, dive DEEP into some research of beasts big and scale-y, and talk about our favorite dino-movies! We hope you enjoy!!
