Hello and welcome to the Slow Home Podcast.

This is the podcast all about slow living in a fast world.

My name is Brooke McCallory.

My name is Ben McCallory.

Welcome to episode eight of our season five.

This is the finale.

This is the hostful episode.

And I wanted to talk, like my first question, or not my first question, but a question

that was out there on the socials was, Brooke, what does hostful mean?

I know. We thought of...

Do we ever, like, explain what it meant?

term directly from Chris Hardwick's

Nerdus podcast when he and Matt and Jonah used to do a, because it was an interview show like

Slow Home mostly is, they occasionally would recall just host-filled episode.

And it was called a hostful. And I loved it.

And I loved, I listened to every episode of that podcast back there. Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. I skipped a lot of, a lot of their interviews for a while there because I was listening to so many podcasts, but would never skip a hostful. And I like it. It's just kind of a bit of a... There was a download.

It was an update on what all the hosts were doing and maybe like behind the scenes

they were talking about some of the interviews. Like it was just so interesting and fun. Yeah. And just a bit of a fun. And it was random too, wasn't it? Yes. It was not necessarily every season. But we like doing it every season. I like doing it every season, yeah.

I mean, last week's was sort of a quasi-hostful, the first half anyway,

in that it was unplanned and unscripted and unprepared for.

But today is all about answering your questions because I put a shout out on Instagram last week.
