Welcome to a truly itty bitty episode with guest host, Gabriel—founder, creator, and archivist for ***r_history. In this episode, Haley takes a page out of Gabriel’s teeny tiny books to pursue some truly short & sweet personal ads. These authors are concise yet have a diverse set of needs—from bowling buddies to sugar daddies, water sports to paranormal experiences. You should probably leave them a voicemail to learn more.
