travel podcast – What’s Yer Weird Story?

Ep 355- Thank You, Weirdsville

Ep 355-

Hello Weirdsville. This week’s episode is brought to you with a heavy heart. After over 350 episodes and almost 7 years, the What’s Yer Weird Story? Podcast is coming to an end. Don’t worry, mommy and daddy aren’t getting a divorce. No, it’s just that sometimes life gets in the way and you have to prioritize. While we have loved spending time with you, sharing laughs and stories, it’s time to hang up the head phones and unplug the mic.

We want to thank all the storytellers for opening up and sharing their experiences. We want to thank all the new friends we made and old friends we reconnected with during this journey. A special thanks to our Special Correspondents Jeff, Bobbi, and Tilly for all their contributions.

And to you, dear listeners, we cannot express our fullest heartfelt thanks for all the support you have given us. Weirdsville doesn’t end here though. We encourage you to embrace the high strangeness and beautiful weirdness of this universe in your lives. Next time you meet someone, ask them…WHAT’S YER WEIRD STORY?
