The Dependa Podcast

The Dependa Podcast

Welcome to The Dependa Podcast! The host Kimberly Garner is a well-seasoned dependa who has been married to a soldier for almost 20 years. She and her husband have 3 wonderful children. While the kids were young, Kimberly was a full time dependa staying home eating bon bons and spending her husband’s money on fancy cups and home decor. Now that the kids are older, Kim has been working as a part-time time photographer, full time Realtor and podcast host. She hopes to bring some lighthearted discussions about all things military life to this podcast. If you are looking to listen to a podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously and has a good chance of going completely off the rails, you have come to the right place. Think Army Wives pages but in podcast form. Buckle up dependas! It’s going to be a good time!

Well, as usual Kim has been slacking on recording and uploading podcast episodes but she recently met a willing victim so she jumped at the chance to have her on. Meet Ellie, new-ish Army wife, softball coach, mom and chatty Cathy. Kim only says, "What was I talking about?" like 7 times so pretty par for the course on The Dependa Podcast.

This episode covers a wide range of topics(shocker) including how Kim sends voice clips to strangers, Karyann's career working in marketing and how her adjustment was from civilian life to marrying into the Army. Welcome to this episode that we lovingly refer to as  "The Tortured Dependa Department". That name covers all the things!

Yes, that is confusing but they will explain! Take these 3, add champagne and microphones and you can't predict what you might get.

Brittany and Kim sit down to talk about Brittany growing up in Arizona, her early years as a nurse and now working as a nurse injector at a popular local med spa. She was late for an appointment so this episode was cut short but we hope to have her back. Maybe we can talk her boss into sitting down to talk dysport, lip injections and more. Kim has some stupid questions...like always. It'll be fine.

Travis and Megan are back to catch up with Kim. They haven't sen each other in awhile so there is plenty to chat about. Kim didn't have her sound board thingy so she didn't have her intro music. Instead of music you get a one minute discussion on whether or not the 1986 cinematic gem was called Little Shop of Whores or Horrors. It's fine.
