The following podcast is a deer media production.

Welcome to the Bad Broadcast. I'm your host, Maddie Murphy.

Hi, hey, hello. Hi everybody. Welcome back to a new episode of the Bad Broadcast.

I have a new style of episode for you today that we've never done.

And I had a topic chosen for this week actually, nor it was going to be normal episode story

submissions. And it was going to be what is the luckiest thing that's ever happened to you.

So I put that up on my Instagram and I got the Google Doc ready and everything.

finding money every single one or like winning a raffle and you want a gift card or something.

They were all kind of like, I don't want to say they were like not interesting because

I understand that that is interesting. There just wasn't a lot of variation between all of the answers.

They were all kind of the same answer over and over again. So then last night, I was like,

what are we going to do? What are we going to choose for our topic this week?

Should I just go back and redo one that we've done before that people have been asking for?

But then it hit me that every week without fail, I get a ton of messages that say, hey,

are you still taking submissions for blank for this certain topic? Or when are you going to do that

topic again? Because I have a story and here's my story. Just hold on to it until you do the topic

again, which I have a really hard time doing. Like people will email me randomly and be like,

hey, just for next time that you do an in-law episode, here's my story. But then they get lost in

the shuffle and that's not your guys's fault. That's my fault for not having a better system for it.

On top of that, every time people send me these messages, they're usually requesting a different topic.

There's like a few different ones that come up a lot, but there's not one that sticks out to me
