S4 Ep353: Creepy Airbnb Stories & How Mu...

Audioboom Studios
About this episode
Have you ever wondered if your Airbnb host REALLY left for the weekend? Are there any hidden rooms in that cabin you didn’t know about? Bethany fell down a rabbit hole of creepy Airbnb stories and she’s passing the savings on to you! Then, Kathleen is questioning all of the health “rules” we’ve been told our whole lives: you need 8 glasses of water, 10,000 steps, 7 servings of fruit and vegetables, etc etc. Are they true? Who came up with them? WHAT DO THEY WANT FROM US?
