Hi, my name is Brian. I only know four shaggy dog stories, but I'm happy to tell them to you over and over again. This podcast was inspired by Sleep With Me and The Worst Idea of All Time. Every week, I'm going to tell one of the shaggy dog stories I know, and tell it for about an hour. It should be a relaxing listen that you can fall asleep to, and the stories will never be exactly the same. Icon Artwork is "Old English Sheepdog" by Mark Scholl.
