Hello and welcome to MakeDup. We are doing something a bit different for today's story.

Makedup listeners have such great story ideas that we thought we should create a special place just for you to tell your stories.

That's why we're excited to announce our new sister podcast, Makedup Clubhouse. Makedup Clubhouse will have cool
