Striving to bring a giggle and weirdness to your day, this podcast’s mission is to feature fantastic writers whose wonderful stories deserve to be heard in audio. And it feeds my love of telling funny stories about life, befuddlement, and the odd adventures in life. I have an affinity for the funny in the mundane, always have. I cataloged my weird adventures at the gym into a one-woman show that you can watch on my YouTube channel. It’s entitled Does This Happen to You at the Gym. I got a lot of joy out of that, so I began writing about my adventures. There was no way I could write enough for a weekly podcast, so I began telling funny stories by other writers. And I’m still at it.

For more fantastic stories, visit Carol on Medium.com. This story breaks from my humor story tradition but is relevant today and is something I experience regularly. I've been approached on Facebook, Quora, and X (Twitter).
It's annoying because it takes time to discern if it's a scam. Sometimes, I know upfront, like the old dudes claiming they're widowed, former military personnel, or military personnel but have incomplete profiles and few posts. I get those on Facebook.
X (Twitter) and places like Quora are harder to root out. But the moment they tell me how beautiful I am, offer to lend me one of their many cars, or say they want to be my "friend," I know for sure they're a scammer.
I've catalogued some of my experiences on my YouTube channel in shorts, https://youtube.com/shorts/FO8pb3-bpY0?si=fRC0cRAr3PYm9KRu and https://youtube.com/shorts/BXBmEtAKU1U?si=69LkdMp79FmZeowk.
