  11. Re-Release: Beach Stories (The Tortured Pretty Department)

    Show notes

    Hey everyone! We're right in the heart of our move to Wilmington, NC, so thank you for bearing with us while we work toward this life goal :)

    This week, we have a re-release for you—now remastered, as I ditched the TTPD intro. For those of you who are newer to the podcast, we originally tried this series a while back. Even though it was a lot of fun to make, it never really took off.

    We still think it's an episode worth revisiting (or discovering for the first time), and one you can really sink your teeth into. Thanks for sticking with us through this busy season, and we'll be back next week with brand-new, original content!

    Love,

    Vicky & Casey

    P.S: Thank you to everyone who submitted stories!
