Gloom & Bloom
by Christine Allen & Tayler Palfreyman
You know that feeling when you’re sitting across from your friend over lunch and mid-sentence they suddenly interrupt themselves, eyes wide, and say, “Oh my gosh, I read/heard the craziest thing the other day…” With our podcast, you get to be the friend on the other side of the table, leaning forward, eager to find out what random subject you’ll be talking about next and inevitably joking about, no matter how serious the subject; and we, Christine and Tayler, will be the friends telling you what we heard. It could be the latest mind-bending true crime we can’t wrap our heads around, moments in history that are stranger than fiction, or fascinating news that happened either on the global stage and front pages or maybe just in tweets between feuding celebs. Nothing is too serious to be absurd, and nothing is too absurd to not be made more so by us, Christine and Tayler. Call us for a good time.
