Father’s Day is upon us! And if we’ve learned anything on this podcast it’s that Dads sure can give unique gifts. Ultimately, the real gift is having something that reminds you of your loved ones even when they aren’t nearby, but sometimes these gifts can leave us scratching our heads. This week, the Closeteers got to spend some time with the delightful Rachel Marsh and discuss the various items their dads have bestowed upon them, and how much they mean to us. Come find out what it is that Rachel kept!

Our first guest of the season! Jacki and Courtney bring in Caitlin Brodnick, host of the wonderful podcast ScamWow, to discuss what it is she has kept and of course, why? Caity, as her friends call her, tell us about her beautiful grandmother and her love of all heirlooms... or rather, her love of the concept, not so much the items themselves. She also takes us on a tour of her apartment and show us the most amazing DIY project! You can find Caity on instagram at @caitybrodnick and @scamwowpodcast.

The Closeteers join forces to usher out the second season of Why Did I Keep This? in this finale episode. Lana, Jacki, and Courtney check in with each other about their closet goals, and Jacki and Lana help Courtney figure out what do to with an item that carries a lot of sentimental weight (and takes up too much closet space!).

Oh college years, when we were young, innocent, and sometimes a little cringe. Luckily, with the passage of time, our awkward encounters make for hilarious (and sometimes NSFW) anecdotes. Mackenzie Brodnick joins us as we dig into the boxes under our beds.
