All Apologies

Hi, all.

First and foremost, I apologize for the lack of posts these past two weeks. I’ve been doing some local reporting that has taken priority over the podcast. It’s sad, but we just can’t fit it all in sometimes. But you already knew that.

I’m working on a pretty killer story for the next week or two, and I mean killer in the literal sense. Just hold on for a little longer and you won’t be disappointed. Endless thanks!

Finding a parking space in a busy lot can be the source of far too many accidents, both actual and emotional. At Osceola High School, students aren’t just reserving spaces, they’re making sure everybody knows who that space belongs to.

We’ve all grown up either baby sitting or being baby sat. Yet every year we find that there is one part of the family that seems to be the source of greater and greater spending: Pets. We talk with a girl who’s summer pet sitting seems a little… over the top.
