New around here? Want to introduce yourself? Here’s a thread! Or if that whole practice makes you want to disappear, uh…Make someone up, or introduce your pet instead!

Whatever floats your boat, and hey, if you have a boat, introduce that boat!

Oh, and before I forget (again), I’ve written a relatively brief FAQ to help folks find their way around here.

    Thanks! <madly scribbling on the podcast list>

    I know And That’s Why We Drink and Haunted Road. They’ve gotten off the radar in a podcatcher move a couple of years ago. I’ll have to check out the others.

    Do you ever catch The Ghost Story Guys or Unexplained? Wild Thing is also pretty good; it’s produced by a couple of former NPR reporter/producers. For true crime, what do you think of The Opportunist?

    How’s the potato salad? ;)

      Awesome! Haha, I haven’t heard of The Ghost Story Guys or The Opportunist, but I’m going to check them out! :) any episode recommendations? I do have Wild Thing in my subscribed podcasts, but I don’t know if I’ve listened yet, going to download some eps! It turned out great! Homemade mayo! :D

        Season one of The Opportunist is a multipart documentary about a single person. It would be hard to make episode recommendations, although any of the one- and two-shot stories in the second season are good. The Ghost Story Guys best episodes are late season one and anything up to the end of 2020. In January 2021, one of the hosts was replaced and the show format became a lot looser and much longer.

        Homemade mayo is the best! Especially if it’s made with bacon grease rather than another oil. :)

          Awesome! :) I’m listening to the Gayle Palmer episodes now, very interesting! Thanks for the recommendation!

          Oooh, I haven’t tried bacon grease before, that sounds amazing! Gotta put that on my to-do list, haha.

            You’re welcome.

            We found bacon grease mayo by accident when we discovered that there was no olive oil in the pantry. It’s one of the go-to versions now.
