ABOUT THE BRIDE AND GLOOM PODCAST
OUR PHILOSOPHY + WHAT TO EXPECT
WE DON'T HAVE ONE! Grab some bubbly, a blanket, and buckle-up friends! This podcast is a Texas size car wreck not suitable for young listeners, language sensitive individuals, or rose-colored glasses wearing Pollyanna types. There will NOT be a ton of hand-holding advice, cute anecdotes, or sugar-coating war stories. There WILL be a lot of fussin’, cussin’, and crass candid talk about our combined 50+ years in the bridal industry. Oh, and possibly some useful information for both industry peeps and brides to be ;)
MEET YOUR HOSTS
We're long time friends and industry veterans, AJ Ruley and Erica Janke. Talking sh*t and cracking each other up, since 2011.
Don't let the cheekbones fool you! We talk like two sailors in a locker room at a truck stop...
WARNING!
CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES OR LANGUAGE SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS
