  • Pearls

    Thanks for your info on Pearls. I found it really interesting. I am lucky enough to own a few sets of pearls - necklaces and earrings, that have been passed down through the family. After my mother sadly passed away, I also received her sets of pearls.

  • Sponsors Don’t Scare You Awake

    This absolutely sends me to the land of nod and a very big part of that is the narrator reads the sponsor parts in the same voice and cadence as the rest of the podcast. Terrible when you’re starting to fall asleep while listening to a podcast and the sponsor comes on with a *BAM*
