    Mother's Day Rerelease 2021

    One Year Later. Our Season 1 ended with a Mother’s Day episode in May 2020. We planned only to take a summer break. Little did we realize the ways prolonged pandemic life would delay Season 2.

    But now, FINALLY, we can't wait to talk BS with you again and find out how YOU, all our listeners, have been doing and get back to the studio.   So, in honor of all mothers, we are re-releasing the Season 1 Mother’s Day episode along with some Big Story teases about our year and what’s ahead for But The Big BS. We hope you enjoy it. Happy Mother’s Day. Live, Love, and Laugh OUTLOUD.

    How are your New Year's Resolutions coming along? Although, January 1st was almost 5 months ago,  for many people, being in quarantine makes it feel like 5 years ago.

In this week's "You Have To Run"  Candace, Karen, and Darcy discuss overall health along with body image, body shaming,  body love, and all the BS that goes with it.  Plus, the bonus Big Tip on what you should never say to your favorite TV personality should you run into them on a walk or at the store.  Stay tuned for the postscript on facemasks and fashion.
