That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs

As I get ready to spend my Summer Sabbath in the City, I want to share the WHOLE story of how I came to be AFD in NYC. So every day this week, we’re sharing the series of episodes from last fall called AFD in NYC—all leading up to a brand new episode on June 8th where I’m going to tell you why I chose to rest in the city instead of somewhere quiet.

I’d tell you we’re here to recap 2018, but you know we always keep talking about anything and everything. In case you’re just jumping in with us, every month we’re chatting with our good buddy, Eddie Kaufholz and recapping the last 10 years in honor of the 10 year anniversary of That Sounds Fun. We’ve made it all the way to 2018, and this conversation had some surprising and hilarious revelations Eddie didn't see coming. Our recap series will be taking a break for the month of June, (helloooo summer sabbath!) but Eddie will be back in July to talk all things 2019 (or 2019 adjacent things...).Check out our previous recap episodes.. . . . .Head on over to our YouTube Channel and be sure to like and subscribe! . . . . .Sign up to receive the AFD Week In Review email and ask questions to future guests!#thatsoundsfunpodcast. . . . .Thank you to our sponsors!BetterHelp: Visit BetterHelp.com/THATSOUNDSFUN today to get 10% off your first month.KiwiCo: Get 20% off on your Summer Adventure Series at kiwico.com/funsummer.Wayfair: .
