You know you've been waiting for it.... Yes! It's another mail bag episode from the great listeners to the podcast! Let's see what weird things you want to talk about this time!

Sometimes a song stops being a song and becomes a home. This week on Boot & Sink, Timothy Zero tells the story behind Run With Us and the secret club that made it their motto.

Every house in Bandit's Nook has one.

An empty drawer.

Not for batteries. Not for junk. Not for anything.

Just... empty.

No one agrees on why the tradition started, but everyone agrees you shouldn't ignore it. Because when people fill every drawer in the house, strange little things begin to disappear. And when they finally make room again...

...the missing things have a way of coming home.

A young library patron asks for books about Freddy Krueger. Twenty minutes later, we're discussing witness testimony, criminal investigations, and the dangers of falling asleep during horror movies.

Some conversations don't go where you expect.

This week's episode, I talk to Walter Grady. A man who created his own broadcasting cable company and his own time capsule from 1987. His basement.

I went to a wedding.

Or at least I thought I did.

The vows became increasingly strange. The guests seemed to know things they shouldn't. A deer inspected the wedding cake. People spoke to empty chairs. By midnight, reality itself appeared to have been part of the guest list.

Then I discovered the truth.

"The Wedding" is an episode about experimental theater, ritual, performance, and the unsettling moment when you realize everyone knows what's happening except you.

A personal episode about identity, loneliness, belonging, and the small lights that help us find our way home.

In this episode, I finally got to interview Dr. Theodora Blackthorn on her new book, The Monastic Hound: Forbidden Canines of the Medieval World. We discuss some dogs maybe have never existed and some I pray never come into style again.
