Podcast Description
Sometimes a story is so interesting, so outlandish, or just so plain entertaining that people need to retell it. In these cases, the story will start to take on a life of its own as itâs passed along by people who had little to no involvement in the actual events being recounted. Here I aim to collect some of these in the form of a weekly podcast. No real names are used in any of our stories and all guest storytellers are allowed the option of adopting an alias.
