    Episode 5: Creepy Reddit Stories

    Hey everyone! We are back after a (chaotic) week off and sharing some stories we found on Reddit! But first, we have a new segment from Nikki: Highs and Lows. And Amy's rant for Rants and Raves isn't remembered until the end of the episode because we are nothing if not all over the place. Then, Nikki tells us about the Hat Man and an alien/Voldemort/fallen angel hybrid. Amy's stories vary but all are unexplainable and creepy as f**k! Let us know if you enjoyed this episode format where we read stories or if you prefer a more endless stream of thoughts style with minimal reading. Thank you for listening to our rambling, arguing, and unflattering laughter. :) We have so much fun making these episodes and we hope you all have fun listening to them.

    Episode 1: The Government, The Moon, & Mount Everest

    Howdy! We're Amy and Nikki! A married queer couple who never stop talking. On our first episode ever, we introduce our podcast and how it came to be. Then we jump right into a few conspiracy theories. Amy tackles some government-centered conspiracies and exposes how unprepared she was. Nikki discusses the out-there theory of the moon being fake and then, dives into the horrible reality of Mount Everest.  Bare with us as we get used to microphone levels and get used to talking to an audience, but we're so excited to start this journey and hope you are excited to listen!
