This week’s episode is a little different—and a lot more personal.

Jody and Shea sit down for a vulnerable, honest conversation about what it really takes to create Rainy Day Rabbit Holes. From the behind-the-scenes work that makes the show possible to the incredible community that’s grown around it, this episode pulls back the curtain in a way we never have before.

We also share something difficult: after a lot of reflection, Jody made the decision that she can’t continue producing the podcast in the same way right now. The past few years have been challenging, and she opens up about the personal struggles that led her to this point.

But this isn’t goodbye.

Instead, we’ve found a middle ground—Jody will be stepping away for six months to rest and reset, while Shea continues the show with the support of this amazing community.

And that’s where you come in.

Rainy Day Rabbit Holes has always been more than just a podcast—it’s a shared curiosity, a collective deep dive into the weird, the historical, and the unexplained. So we’re inviting listeners to help shape what comes next.

If you’ve ever wanted to be part of the show—whether that’s:

• Researching rabbit holes
• Helping write episodes
• Assisting with social media
• Or even joining as a guest

We’d love to hear from you.

More than anything, this episode is about gratitude—for where we’ve been, where we’re going, and the incredible people who make it all worthwhile.

Thank you for being here. Truly.
