BONUS - WHYBB? - The World is So Vast

Funny story. When I came up with the name for this podcast, I knew it was the only choice for me. That said, I knew I needed to see if there were any others out there with the same title. That was when I stumbled upon a pod named "Where Have You Been, Bitch?" I thought, well, that's close but not the same, so I'm good. 
As time went on, I was keeping an eye on how my pod was doing in Google searches...and Jane's kept creeping into the results! So I listened to a few episodes - and I LOVED what she's doing! I just love conversational podcasts, I guess...so I decided to reach out. What you'll hear today is the first half of the result of our connection - me on the flip side of the microphone with someone who I now consider a friend. It was so much fun - Jane is a natural host and a really relaxing conversationalist and it comes through. She's a truly great human being and I'm so glad we connected.
So, please, enjoy this bonus episode...and if you do (I mean...it's all about me this time, so, who knows???), then stay tuned because Jane is also MY next guest this coming Sunday! And it was GREAT!! I can't wait for you to hear my longest single episode yet (crazy, right!!??). Also - please head to her pod and like and subscribe there, as well! You won't regret it. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/where-have-you-been-bitch/id1752328496
