One Year Later. Our Season 1 ended with a Mother’s Day episode in May 2020. We planned only to take a summer break. Little did we realize the ways prolonged pandemic life would delay Season 2.
But now, FINALLY, we can't wait to talk BS with you again and find out how YOU, all our listeners, have been doing and get back to the studio. So, in honor of all mothers, we are re-releasing the Season 1 Mother’s Day episode along with some Big Story teases about our year and what’s ahead for But The Big BS. We hope you enjoy it. Happy Mother’s Day. Live, Love, and Laugh OUTLOUD.
