The Room That We Created

The Room That We Created

A PODCAST ABOUT INSANE STORIES, SMALL TOWNS, ART, PHILOSOPHY, AND BLANCHE! Our heroes Zach and Matti live in a small town they call “Maynardville,” and if you live in a small town you’ll know that everybody knows everything about everyone, and things get out of hand fast, for better or worse. You ALSO know that insane, once in a lifetime, strange events with astronomical odds of occurring have the potential to happen on a day to day basis. Every day is a traumatic toss up in Maynardville, and you can either sink or swim. Our lives can be totally f***ed at times and we have so many insane stories to tell.
