Wonderful people, we are changing our page name to match the podcast change.... but we're not really allowed to drastically change our page name in case of trickery. And we really don't want to trick you! . So we have to do it one word at a time... This might be painful. This might not work. Sorry for the extra notifications, but while you're here - tell us some stories! :)

Dear wonderfuls,
We hope you‘re having most festive funtimes and are gathering many stories of people being pretty good to each other.

You might have noticed that our podcast is no longer on Apple podcasts. Saaad! We might need to rebrand with an asterisk and re-submit a new podcast to get it back again, so please keep an eye out for updates in the new year.

In the meantime, you can always listen to all our episodes on whooshka!
