The Big Boo Cast, Episode 300

Well, it’s our 300th episode – and our 15th podcast-i-versary – and Melanie and I are thrilled about both of these things. WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT. So, as you can imagine, we do a little reminiscing on this episode, but we also do a lot of talking about the here and now. That is because this is the week that Alex moves to college, and we have a lot to break down about that.

As always we recap our weekends, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Hope y’all enjoy!

    Happy 15th Anniversary and 300th Episode!!!!! I’ve been listening for years and went through a period where I listened to your podcast while I was taking a shower. One day, my sister-in-law was venting to me about not having time to enjoy phone conversations without the kids interrupting when my husband pipes up and says Beth talks with her friends while taking a shower. He literally thought you two talking on the podcast was me and a friend chatting on the phone!!! Thank you for all the fun, laughter, skin care advice, and sports commentary!!!! Kudos to you both!!! Xoxo

  2. Beth Wright says:

I’m so glad to have you in my ears every week now. I feel like we’ve gone though some hard transitions together as we became empty nesters last year too. Thanks for being the great friends that I’ve never actually met.
