Hey listeners,
I'm excited to share some big changes to the podcast! If you've been listening this past year we've already made format changes-- covering wider ranges of nostalgic media as it shifts into a solo-host show. This two-month break gave me the breathing room I need to figure out what gets me most excited for the show and what will build off we're already doing. Let's get into it!
Stories That Stick is our new main format-- inviting funny and insightful guests on to talk about classic media (books, movies, TV, games!) that have stories that 'stuck' with them. I wanna talk about not just how wild these stories are, but how they were formative for the guests and inspire them. And sometimes we'll revisit something we thought was great but actually kinda stunk. But we'll figure out why they still resonated with us! The last six months of the show are basically already this format, now with a clearer vision and names.
And Goosebuds will live on as a monthly bonus episode! Hosted by myself and Associate Producer Jakylln Heidi who's read ten times the amount of Young Adult books as me. I'm excited to dive back into the works of R.L. Stine, K.A. Applegate, and other classics. That's available on Patreon, along with our other bonus show Campfire Hang, ad-free versions of the show, and our community Discord. All at patreon.com/storiesthatstick.
Thank you for listening to Goosebuds in the past and thank you for continuing on this podcast journey with me.

| 0:21.9 | games, stories that stuck with them. |
| 0:24.2 | I want to talk about not just how wildly great these stories are, but how they are formative |
| 0:28.4 | for us and how they inspire us to tell new ones. |
| 0:31.3 | And sometimes we'll revisit a story we thought was great, but actually kind of stunk. |
| 0:35.2 | But then we'll figure out why they lodged themselves into our brains. |
| 0:38.5 | The last six months of the pod have already foreshadowed this shift. In recent episodes, we've |
