Previously released but temporaraly offline, this is the first episode of the On the Fritz with Susan Fritz podcast! 

Susan gets her feet wet by pressing record after an incident with a wasp. She also plays her mouth trumpet for the podcast opener and consults with her always amusing mom, Linda, about home remedies for stings. Someday maybe they'll say...it all started here!

Linda returns! We discuss Smokey the Bear Then and Now, what Linda wanted to be when she grew up, education, teaching, "the kids these days", the importance of taking a paid vacation, salads, and the start of football season! (amongst other things...)

Important Notes: Karen is my sister; the illogical gaps are logical in our world.

Susan explores the definition of Kitsch, kvetches about leaf blowers, and creates dinner out of the scant contents in the kitch-en. She also reminisces about that time she met Jerry Springer. Warning: lousy accents and singing ahead.

Susan explains how she was sting by a wasp again--in the eye! And somehow she ties in her annual "Mock the First Day of School Photo" photo with indoor cycling, Lasik surgery, and how her life changed 6 years ago. Warning: things get serious for just a minute or two, but end on a life-affirming note!
