Thankful Sunday: We’re Grateful For You And The 24 Countries Listening

Twenty-four countries. That number still doesn’t feel real to us, and we had to hop on the mic for a Thankful Sunday to say it out loud and say thank you. From Wooster, Ohio to St. George, Utah, we’re proof you can build a podcast with friendship, consistency, and a willingness to show up exactly as you are, even when the camera turns on and YouTube becomes part of the plan. It's another episode of Thankful Sunday on the Dysfunction Junkies Podcast.
