100 Episodes and We Did NOT Expect This

🎉 100 EPISODES?! We're celebrating our 100th episode of the Jinger and Jeremy Podcast with a special look back at the moments, guests, and lessons that got us here! From our very first recording mishaps in our old house's storage room to the guests who completely surprised us, we're reminiscing on everything that's made this show what it is. In this episode, we play a few fun superlative games... most competitive guest, who we'd trust to babysit our kids, who we'd want with us during a zombie apocalypse and reflect on the conversations that turned into something more like therapy than a podcast. We talk about the guest who shocked us with how deeply their story resonated with listeners, revisit our episode with Dean McMahon, and look back on our chat with Olympic sprinter Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. Plus, a few behind-the-scenes confessions about our home decor (or lack thereof) and how this podcast almost didn't survive its first few recordings. Thank you for 100 episodes of laughs, hard conversations, and life with us.
