Introduction to the Podcast
00:00:00
Speaker
You know that thing you love that your friends and family don't want to hear about anymore? Tell it to us, Patty and Charlotte. We want to learn all about your weird and wild obsessions or your perfectly normal hobbies that you've taken just a little too far. We want to dabble in your curious interests. Can we interest you in today's episode?
Purpose Behind the Podcast
00:00:33
Speaker
Hi, Charlotte. Hi, Patty. How's it going? It's going good. How are you? Good. Let's tell these people what we're doing. All right. Well, we decided to start a podcast about things that people are interested in. Hobbies, weird things that they, I don't know, want to sell us. Right. Know a lot about in some strange way.
00:01:02
Speaker
I want to share the good news. Yeah, I've had some people ask me like, well, you know, you have to be an expert because I'm not an expert in this thing. And I say, no, you just have to be really interested in it. That's great. And somewhat interesting too. Mm hmm.
Encouraging Passionate Participation
00:01:18
Speaker
Yes. Because we want them to not only tell us about the topic or the activity or the whatever, but then also try to get us to try it too.
00:01:27
Speaker
Yeah, because sometimes I think I just write things off because I think they're going to be boring. And so I never even tried them. So I would love to like get a great new hobby or something out of out of this and just learn what's cool in the world. Yeah. And for me, I've noticed like so often I get like kind of paralyzed by it. Oh, well I can't do it or it's not really something that is available to me or I would feel
Accessibility and Motivation
00:01:57
Speaker
out of place. So having an excuse to try it and then also having people tell me like a little bit about it before I get there is a good motivation and I think will help me actually try it. Yeah, and I think that's why we wanted to do ah like an accessibility report about each thing too. So we'll give it a try.
00:02:19
Speaker
and we'll let people know you know, is it easy to access? What are some of the barriers? What are some of the things that might make it harder for some to ah try this out?
Hosts' Background and Friendship
00:02:33
Speaker
Absolutely. Yeah. So we are actually two friends not living anywhere near each other.
00:02:39
Speaker
I, Patty, am living in St. Louis right now. Just moved here from Chicago about a little less than a year ago. And I live here because my sister lives here with her wonderful children. And I live here with my dog, Bosco, who I'm pretty obsessed with, but he can't be my interest since I can't get everybody to have a Bosco. And I've known Charlotte for a long time. We met in our 20s. Yeah. Oh, wow.
00:03:07
Speaker
Yeah, I think, right? I think you're right. I think we actually met her ah on our way to the South Side St. Patrick's Day Parade in Chicago, which is a big, big deal and a long day of drunkenness. And Charlotte, you're not in Chicago anymore. No, I'm in the Denver area now. I moved here maybe five years ago and Now I live with my boyfriend, Adam, and my dog, Janine, also obsessed with her.
Podcast as a Connection Tool
00:03:40
Speaker
She's like a little old lady dog. And yeah, known Patty. I didn't guess, I didn't realize it had been that long. um But we've stayed in touch over the years bonding over things like the bachelor, bachelorette nation. Yes, the yes.
00:04:01
Speaker
and just visiting from time to time. So we thought it would be fun to start a podcast. So that's what we're doing.
