What happens when two people who grew up in a very strange corner of Los Angeles look back and realize just how bizarre their upbringings really were?

They start a podcast, of course.

I'm Ashley Johnson.

And I'm Talas and Jaffe.

Before we became the internet people we are today, we spent our childhoods as working actors, appearing in shows like growing pains and films like Mr. Mom.

In our podcast, Weird Kids, we're diving deep into our unique upbringings, our friendship

with each other, and all the delightfully odd interests we still carry with us today.

In each episode, we get to share stories of our youth, the things that bring us joy, the

problems that we face,

and occasionally the friends we've collected along the way.

If you're a misfit, an outcast, or just a weirdo who loves all things nostalgic and

unconventional, come take a seat at our table.

Each week, we'll be releasing previously members-only episodes on YouTube and all major podcast

platforms, with new episodes dropping exclusively

and ad-free on beacon.tv. Well, hello there! Oh, no, come on in. Come on in. Yes, it's time for

another Shirefolk Spotlight. I'm your host. It's me, Jeremy, uh, y'ar, as usual, and I'm here in the little Hobbit Hole, uh, alone today, but I've got some guests coming.

Oh, I hear them, I hear their little footsteps on the lane. Look it out the window. Hello all. Come on. Don't be shy. Come on in and introduce yourselves.

It's just me and a bunch of people listening.

I don't know where they are, but for some reason they can hear everything.

Oh, look, it's our...

It's guests from the Storyteller Squad.

Oh, please, introduce yourself storytellers. Or should I address you as squad?
