S3E2 - 10 Shoemakers/The Candy Salesman's Brother

Season 3, Ep. 2

Thank you for listening to the Middle Aged Candy Store, produced by The Gathering.


In this episode, Jimmy Rash sings us his smash hit, “Wholesome Prison Blues”, and twin supermodels Dave and Avialannia take Karen’s one phone call from the prison…with mixed results. We also learn a valuable lesson about productivity from the 10 Shoemakers, and go on a rather rambling drive with the Candy Salesman’s brother.
