🎉 This week is a little different—and very special.
We’re not bringing you a new historical story in this episode. Instead, we invite you to curl up with us as we look back, laugh, and reflect on the last 100 episodes of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes.
If you’re in the mood for something story-driven instead, no worries at all—feel free to hop over to our latest fan fiction episode, which is ready and waiting for you. 🐇
🎙️ 100 episodes. Somehow.
In this milestone episode, Shea and Jody celebrate over two years of podcasting chaos, curiosity, friendship, and forgotten history. What started as a half-formed idea in the Pacific Northwest turned into 100 full episodes, countless rabbit holes, a growing community, and friendships we never expected.
This episode is part celebration, part reflection, and part love letter—to listeners, collaborators, historians, and each other.
Why reaching 100 episodes is such a rare podcast milestone
Early audio struggles, evolving formats, and champagne-fueled recording days
The episodes that still stick with us (and why)
Listener-favorite stories like:
Madam Mustache
The Salish Sea Human Foot Discoveries
The Traveling Corpse of Elmer McCurdy
Ishi: The Last Wild Indian
Sea Monsters of the Salish Sea
How podcasting changed the way we see history—and historians
Why preserving uncomfortable history matters
Messages and reflections from listeners, friends, and fellow podcasters
The friendships and creative communities that grew out of this show
We take time to thank the people who made the last 100 episodes possible—from collaborators and historians to fellow podcasters, Radio Tacoma, behind-the-scenes helpers, and the listeners who stuck with us while we figured things out.
We also share news about an upcoming project, State of Disgrace, where we’ll explore moments in history that echo loudly into the present—starting with McCarthyism, fear politics, and how societies find their way back from the brink.
This new show will be more focused and seasonal, but rooted in the same curiosity that drives Rainy Day Rabbit Holes.
This episode isn’t about numbers or algorithms. It’s about showing up, staying curious, and building something together.
Whether you’ve been here since episode one or just fell down the rabbit hole—thank you for being part of this journey.
🕳️ Here’s to 100 more. See you down the rabbit hole.
