    It’s a trip down “we don’t remember any of this” memory lane on the last week of the podcast! Kathleen goes through the most-listened-to episodes and Bebe is shocked at how little they can recall. Both women talk about what they’ve learned over the course of seven seasons, and then they remember THAT episode.

Breathe, just Breathe

Not to be a complete stalker but Bethany tweeted back at me once and I’m still over the moon. My best friend loves me! Now how to do I get Kathleen to do the same? Thank you for a the friendly advice you share the rest of the world (but should to be all about me🙄) I’ve loved you ladies from the beginning, don’t ever stop. Not even when you’re in your 90s and can’t remember what you just said. Edit edit edit. This is the best podcast ever!!!
(I wrote the first half years ago and never posted. Now the podcast is over and I still look on my feed for a new episode. I miss them the most.😭)

You should be proud ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bethany & Kathleen,

As a Gentle Listener since day 1, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your banter, friendship, and the amusing & informative topics. I’ve cried a little and I’ve laughed - a lot! The past 7 years have been truly wonderful, and you should be so proud of the legacy you leave in us Taste Buds. Thank you for choosing to let us into your lives & entertain us all along the way. Your absence leaves some big shoes to fill - I haven’t connected to another podcast the way I did with An Acquired Taste. I wish you both the absolute very best of all life has to offer! And I have no doubt you’ll continue to do big, fun, AMAZING things!!

Your bud, Ann from Iowa
