Summary
Unearthed from their On Air Fest goodie bags, Lindy and Meagan discover little teensy influencer microphones! And if you know how jazzed one host in particular gets about the media board, you can guess what this means–absolute unhinged chaos aka a cross country FIELD TRIP! 🚂
But before Lindy shares her unfiltered reporting from her truly epic train ride from DC to Seattle, Lindy and Meagan recap their On Air Fest experiences, walking away with one important question: What in the sweet hell happened to the crafty crackers? These VIP BBWs are supposed to eat piles of deli meat with nary a carb? REGGIE WATTS TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NETWORKING NOSH!! Email us deartextmeback@gmail.com
And no shade to On Air fest, but the best part of that weekend was Lindy and Meagan’s incredible Wordle victories. Have YOU ever gotten Wordle in 1?? What was your word??? DM us @textmebackpod on IG!
And finally, the real headliner of this episode is something never in history captured in real time: Belly Rumblins On the Midwest Express. Someone call the Pulitzer commission because this is JOURNALISM, this is STORYTELLING, Gay Talese COULD NEVER. Will Lindy expire in Indiana? Make it through Montana? Survive all the way to Seattle? Only one way to find out (listening to the episode, giving us a five-star rating, and telling all your friends about it).
