Podcasts by One Hundred Things in a Jar
Michael & Megan gather in their kitchen with a microphone, some booze and a big glass jar on our counter filled with strips of paper. Each piece has something on it—we’re not sure what. Could be a question, a comment, a word, a quotation, part of someone’s grocery list. We’re totally at the mercy of the friends and family who, at our request, sent us the pieces of paper over the last month. Whatever we pick is our topic. We don't know what it is our where it could go, so join us for laughs, awkward moments, deep thoughts and fun.
