I've really enjoyed putting this episode together.
We start off with fun facts about the adorable panda! I sure learned a lot in putting this segment together.
We take a look at a woman who scours flea markets and thrift stores, looking for lost treasures----love letters, medals, and so much more--but the catch is she does this to return them to the families they were lost from. A really fascinating story.
I've always had a great interest in cryptozoology. Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, and more. Did you know Indiana has it's own legend? The Beast of Busco. Fascinating story, and, I want to know---do you think Bigfoot exists? I'd really like to know!

This was a really fun episode for me to put together! We talk about some of the most popular trends of the 1970s. Who remembers disco, afros, bell bottoms and more? We're talking about this, this week.
Our good news story is about growing old not so gracefully. Lots of fun tips on things we can do to stave off the aging process.
Our fun facts this weeks are all about horses! I had a phobia about horses for years, but due to an event I had to emcee, I was forced to spend some time with horses, and it's made me much more confortable with them.
