Sunday Picnic Podcast
by sundaypicnicpod
Welcome to Christine and Dolly's podcast! Growing up, the two of us fostered a long distance friendship for a couple decades. We would call over the phone for hours on end, even up to 7 hours! We decided to leave some of our conversations as podcast momentos and thus came Sunday Picnic Podcast! We hope you will stick around to engage with us in discourse, sharing ideas, and trying to improve society as a whole ;-) If you'd like to reach us, we'd love to hear from you!!
