I'm gonna go with like pop-off queen. Like I think that's a pretty good job, right?

Hello and welcome to Normal Gossip. I'm Kelsey McKinney and in each episode of this podcast,

0:15.3

we bring you an anonymous morsel of Gossip from the real world. Before we get into this week's

0:20.9

ridiculous story, I just wanted to take care of some business up top. The first business we have

0:26.4

to do is the bonus episode. We are yet again gonna produce a bonus episode with your special stories,

0:32.9

including your audio for after this season ends and this season we're looking for niche community

0:39.2

drama stories. So we're looking for stories about your community garden, about your dog groomer,

1:43.0

monthly secret episodes where one of you comes on to tell me a gossip story while we're on break.

1:49.2

We recorded the July episode last week and it was a real banger. I was laughing my ass off about it.

1:55.0

It was really fun. At both levels of subscription, friend of a friend and friend, you'll get

2:00.1

access to the secret episodes. But if you subscribe at the friend level, you can also enter a pool

2:04.8

to be a guest on our next secret monthly episode. You'll also get added to our close friend's
