Hosting a podcast is a lot of work. Sometimes it feels like you're dragging yourself uphill through quicksand, but when you reach the top and look back…you've hosted 200 episodes! Holy crap! Alongside the challenges there have also been a number of funny, random and serendipitous stories that I have never shared publicly before.Things like FORGETTING to record an episode and having to break it to the guest,Having random guests join your interview at the last minute!And being let in on some REALLY BIG SECRETS because your guest can't contain themselves.It has been an amazing 4 years / 200 episodes and I’m so grateful for all of the wonderful listeners (you!) who have let me slide into your earphones.Thank you to each and every one of you, and also to my incredible sound engineer Dave Drago (my husband) who is a huge part of why this podcast is such a success!With that said, we still want your suggestions on what topics should be covered in future episodes.If there's something specific that interests you or a guest that you think is a fit, please message me on Instagram @kelseyreidl.We're always looking for new ideas!For full show notes, click here.
