June’s Theme! – Back to Normal
What does it really mean to go “Back to Normal,” not just in a post-lockdown world, but at any time when normal was taken from you?
When have you had your world rocked by grief, depression, loss, or illness, and needed to find a new normal?
What shape and form did the pain take as the world moved on around you? This FBomb will, as always, have open mic slots! Message this month’s host Shelby Yaffe to sign up for the open mic.

Join us on Zoom on Tuesday June 15 at 7:30 PM MDT!
