The Traveling Groomers Podcast

Sometimes when faced with uncertainty, a theatre term called "suspension of disbelief" where you can immerse yourself in the podcast and (temporarily) forget about the current events going on in the world. This week, Mary and Chris share silly driving stories (their experiences as well as those of their listeners) that involve anything from minor accidents to how scary it is to drive with Chris.

This week Mary and Chris welcome back special guest Catherine Frend Gillihan to talk about navigating this unfamiliar territory that is social distancing due to COVID-19; taking care of yourselves and your families.
