I first listened in 2018 when I first fell in love with podcasts. I’m now listening again almost 6 years later. It’s just as good if not better!

Alabama is crazy but has a lot of butter sweet people from it.

Being from Alabama I had to listen to this and my husband is from that area close by but one of my best friends is from there. Anyway it is emotional interesting crazy how it played out. Definitely done well and I really loved listening to it and have recommended it.

Small towns are hard
