Episode 145B: The Quiet Man
B-Side
Welcome to the B-Side, where every week we’ll dig a little deeper, drink a little longer, laugh a little harder, and share insights and itty bits you’ve never gotten to hear before.
Patrice, Marleah, and Courtney kick back with classic margaritas and touch on a range of topics. They start with the inspiration behind a story from "Appalachian Ghosts" by Nancy Roberts, discussing the mysterious events that occur after a stranger's death in a home. The conversation then shifts to the use of hobo signs as a form of communication and the idea of creating a collaborative story. They wrap up by mentioning their Patreon supporters and the benefits they offer.
