First. Sorry never been first before.

What joy! Another episode! Will it end on a depressing note?

AG

Another Norcal escapee. But I escaped to, according to Dr Dolan, the worst place Houston. I do miss the music of the BART train and freeway 24.

Dang, just heard lily on the trillbillies - great guest

PostmasterFenian

Its cool that you live rent free in the heads of spooks mark. Sounds like lily does now too!

Karl Childers

she keeps saying "sweden" the way swedish people say "sweden" and its really fucking with me lol

Hey Guys. Another Crockett California native. Blew my mind hearing our little census-designated place referenced. It’s a sugar refinery town where lots of retired spooks and former oil executives live

Karl Childers

that was also a great conversation. i gotta put trilbillies in my regular podcast rotation

Agustin Arias

Nothing more boring than the obligatory hate on Northern California..

John Waaben

I’m a big fan of the Tule Elk and Sea Otters, personally.

Alejandro Pepsi

Nice to hear a Sipher call out. An absolute bonehead. He blocked me on Twitter because kept replying to his Havana syndrome tweets with "pew pew pew"

Jaime Christley

Hearing the lads slag off Remnick’s New Yorker, as always, fills my heart with gladness.

Jaime Christley

Oh fuck I remember him. He’s a textbook shitheel.

Jaime Christley

If you want to fill your head with the whole Olof Palme saga, I can’t say enough about the Ghost Stories for the End of the World podcast, hosted by a dulcet-toned North of England lad who only goes by “Matt”. He did an 8 episode series on OP, but he does incredible work on a wide variety of hellworld topics.

Sean Enright

Crockett is a neat little town. Went there for the first time in 2023. Like some rust belt factory town got plopped in the bay area.

Sean Enright

Went there for the first time last year! Got to know the volunteer fire captain who is also the high school band director. Like a great lakes factory town got transplanted to the bay.

Yairo Martis

The Trillbillys also just did an episode with Lily.

Davies B. Orck

I just listened #241 (also Lily) and she referred to Kolinda as “Hot Blonde”. I am literally crying.

John Hieronymus

Any chance we could get someone like Misha Glenny on to talk about the Balkan wars from 1913-1945 or something like that? There’s a Bulgarian history podcaster that could also help?

Kawaii Leonard

Aww love that guy, he was my high school US govt teacher as well.

Marcellos Santos

I remember seeing the huge neon c & h sign from the freeway.
