Description

Making sense of what’s happening in our society is complicated. From the perpetual virtue-signaling to the over-reliance on water bottles, small towns across the globe are facing serious challenges. The man-bun, mommy blogs, and people who consider figure skating a sport; they’re all egregiously wrong! So, if your typical day is stymied by self-checkout machines that always need an employee override or your inbox is flooded with way too many over-worded emails from your kid’s school, we can commiserate. Join us as we critically examine these quandaries and more every Tuesday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere else cool podcasts are found. Check us out online at smalltownscuttlebutt.com.
