Hi friends, surprise. Welcome to a special drop-in episode of That Sounds Fun. I'm your host, Annie F.Dance. And I'm so excited about the news we get to share with you today on the podcast.

But before we get to this awesome conversation, just a reminder of that little New York Times best-selling book called That Sounds Fun that were released a few weeks ago.

If you don't have your copy yet, you can purchase it at your local bookstore or on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble at Target, wherever you love to buy books.

And if you've already read it, it would write a review and share about it on social media that would be so helpful.

Bianca Oldtop has been a dear friend for a long time and has been on the show a couple of times, so she probably feels like an old friend to you too.

She was on episode 18 and 163 if you want to go back and listen. But she's here today because her podcast we're going there is joining the That Sounds Fun Network.

I am so excited to add her and her show to our amusement park of shows that we are a part of. So go ahead, grab your phone right now and subscribe to We're going there.

You are going to love this podcast. You guys, I promise we're not going to bring anybody on the network that I don't think you're going to love listening to their show and make it a regular part of your podcast week.

So here's my conversation with Bianca Oldtop and a little bit of her first episode from this season of We're Going There.

Bianca, welcome to That Sounds Fun. The Network. I'm so excited because this is absolutely fun.

Oh, it doesn't need fun in their life, Annie. My God. You're the queen of fun and I got invited to the party. I'm so excited.

Listen, you've been invited to the party for a long time. I've just been begging you to bring your podcast over here too. Okay, back me up though. I mean, I know because we walked it together.

But tell all of our friends listening. Why did you even start a podcast and when did you start it back up and tell us the beginning?

You know what? I actually don't really talk about the beginning of podcast. Oh, I started. I mean, they're getting inside information.

Because you don't want to.

I mean, it came out of a really. Okay, so back up. Yeah, we had one season of We're Going There. And it was it came out of this like I just want creative latitude.

I want to do things where people don't tell me what to do. And I just want to create and dream and do fun things.

And it was honestly a way to connect in what was leading up to a really crazy time. That was a pandemic. And so and gave me a touch point with people. And I know it feels foreign and weird.

But I really, when people respond to the podcast or what the podcast has meant to them or they've learned from the podcast, I feel like I have a new friend.

And during the pandemic, it felt like a very isolating season. And I got to connect with new friends in a very lonely time of life. And it was just so fun. So not only did I get to connect on the show with like amazing guests and they're bringing with wind sigh inside and win some win.

I just made a new word. And I when you said that, I was like, I don't know that word, but I know what she means. And I like it. Yes, it's win some insight. And so there we go.

And fun. And so it was just an absolute blast. I've been so excited. We're one season in. And then I got to be on this podcast.
