Magda Got a Postcard That Was Lost in the Mail for Four Years and 11 Days
Madalena Wojcicka of Travel Trinkets Canada left me a message that started with a bit of amazement. She got a postcard at her home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada that had been sent from Spain four years and 11 days earlier. It's a real mystery.
The other part of the mystery is how we covered that topic, talked about the World's Largest Fishing Lure, Muffler Men statues, postcard design, and walking around the earth -- all while my cat Benjamin was yowling in the background.
Customer Reviews
A postcard journey
The postcard has helped me make so many connections and I had the privilege to be a guest. It’s like a journey through postcards and fantasy and friends. It bridges the community of postcard lovers to closer connections and is always fun, uplifting and encouraging. The guests are unique and curious and their stories inspire others like me. Every snail mail lover should be listening.

Also- he just has the best voice and his laugh is always the highlight of each episode. Listen and enjoy- trust me!
Late to the party
I can’t believe I didn’t know this podcast exists. I’ve been a mail enthusiast for 40 plus years and postcards are my favorite form of mail. I am planning to listen from start to latest, all today.
