  • Get to the point

    The stories are great, but the host talks way too much. I don’t even know what he’s talking about or if it’s even relevant or real, but I wish he would stop.

  • I love the stories, but the preamble is so long and feels so self indulgent from the host. I've listened for years, and have finally started skipping it completely because they get longer. It's also weird to have a fictional story start what is billed as true stories? Ads have taken over recently too. I love the stories themselves, but they're no longer the focus of this podcast

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Doves Cry
Q: Can you describe the moment you realized Lily B was communicating with you beyond ordinary behavior?
Sara explains that Lily B's repeated cupping gestures and later vocal signals during writing sessions felt like a deliberate and intelligible form of feedback, which she interpreted as mind-reading or telepathy, supported by six months of patient observation before fully accepting the depth of their connection.
Skagway - Classic
Q: Did you ever feel like, you know, a lot of these girls, like you said in the newspapers, their names were never recorded, they were kind of forgotten in a lot of ways?
Oh, I did. Every day, I did a tour, and I talked about them and what they sacrificed.
Skagway - Classic
Q: Why do you think she appeared to you guys?
I'm guessing why she chose to appear to us was because we were young women.
Boxes
Q: Have you ever been back to The Gearbox since then?
Yes, I went back to perform at a recital, but the house is now probably buried under ash.
Boxes
Q: So how did you feel when you moved out of that house?
Relieved. So happy. I was so happy. Because I lived in a constant state of terror.
