Welcome to Modern Insanity! We're so glad you're here! This episode is all about getting to know each other and our weird lives. From serious topics to off-the-wall comedy bits, we cover the field. So grab a cup of something warm, and settle in with us for a wildly cozy time.

For our first 2 episodes, we are testing out several different spots and styles. So please let us know what you liked or disliked! Leave us a comment on our episode page:

All opinions and commentary are strictly the point-of-view of the speaker and based on their own life experiences. All characters are based on general life experience and not on any person or group in particular. While occasionally a real place, person, or event may be alluded to, the depiction is purely for effect.

Regarding Handpuppet World, no handpuppets were harmed in the making of this podcast. Don't try this at home however.

No Stuffed animals were harmed in the making of Stuffy Corner. If anything, they gave us a run for our money at the mic.

Fake ads are not ads and the products featured are not real products. We are not really selling anything. This is a figment of our imagination and meant to be parody on modern advertising culture. Like seriously, ads on the backs of airline seats?
