YSMMF - Season 4 Wrap Up

Send us Fan MailWe're Closing Season Four and Planning Season Five: Travel, Wildfires, and Podcast Roses & ThornsMissy and Elisabeth catch up on a busy summer involving travel to see parents, a college summer boot camp, home projects, and multiple trips (Pullman graduation, Las Vegas, Burbank, San Juan Capistrano, and upcoming Nashville, Indiana, and Mexico). They discuss wildfires and water concerns in the West, including a visible fire near Tucson and shrinking water levels at Lake Powell and near Hoover Dam, plus a local perspective on long-term stewardship and water use. Health and bureaucracy come up with neck pain, MRIs, ROTC/FAA medical paperwork, and aging parents’ recoveries. They mark their podcast’s progress (first episode Sept. 20, 2023; this is episode 39; top downloads included the Sabina episode), share roses and thorns of podcasting, and brainstorm new season questions while considering taking the rest of summer off and returning in September with more consistent recording. NOTE: The summary above and below sounds whack-a-doo because this truly is how our conversations go - ha!
