For those of you that may have missed it, on August 15, 2008 the announcement came regarding the retirement of Girls Night In. Obviosly since this is a podcast, there needed to be an official verbalization that stalking us is going to get a bit harder. In this short episode, that’s what you are given: the official goodbye.
Have no fear! All of the past episodes of the show will still remain regardless of the fact that we aren’t producing new content. Feel free to come back and listen at your leisure!
Many thanks and well wishes go to the hosts, the audience as well as our beloved stalkers. Please keep in touch with us! If you wish to reach either myself (Kim), Maggie, Rachel or Jaime you can send an email to hello@girlsnightinpodcast.com and I’ll make sure your stalking attempt makes it to the right co-host. See! It’s like co-dependent stalking. I wonder if there’s a 12-step program program for that anywhere.. but I digress!The way to reach me (Kim) is still the same. It’s that link to my personal site over there on the sidebar that’ll give you a whole bunch of fun ways to find me.

This is the long-awaited and much delayed episode of the Girls Night In podcast which is part two of two where we bring to you a post meet-up discussion. The hosts and the attendees shared their memories of the meet up and a bit of the laughter as well. We have voicemail from some of the folks that couldn’t make it, even one from one of the hosts who was stricken with the plague.
Who died? What’s all this talk about the girls being in bed together? Is there more to that story? Did we have any members of the mafia that attended the meet-up? Perhaps you’ll hear the background behind the “accidental racist” title that one of our hosts garnered. You might even gain some insight on which of us was more directionally challenged. It’s probably just best if you listen in and find out what a real stalker is made of!
If you happened to miss the announcement, the Girls Night In has officially retired. Scroll down a bit here at the website and you can get a few more details on the what and why.
It’s Personal
Hello everyone. It’s Kim here writing today. I have some sad news that I need to share.
I have made the decision and am retiring from Girls Night In. Before you get all upset on me, let me present to you my reasons. I have a lot going on in my life right now: I have my son to care for, school starting back up, my father and my grandmother who are ill and require my help in their care, a career path to pursue, the tornado, the loss and the resulting trauma for me as well as a whole slew of other personal happenings. I need to work on my career and focus more on things with my son first and foremost. I don’t have the time or energy right now to put into the show that which I’ve always put into it (and not make a profit from it). I am taking all of the time as well as the energy that I have invested in GNI and am putting it into the areas of my life which need the attention most. I love the show so very much and hate to have had to make this decision but I have to do what is right for my family and I.
The Podcast
Now it’s time to address the podcast itself.
The four of us started this show, and together the four of us are the Girls Night In. We have to keep that in mind as one of us leaves the show. In doing so, it really is no longer Girls Night In. It is time to retire the show as well, giving the respect the show itself deserves: to leave it having been the show that was Kim, Rachel, Jaime and Maggie.
Consistently represented by a combination of any/many of the four of us is GNI: Unplugged. We’re still discussing the hopeful continuance of this Unplugged show. We’ll keep you posted.
Keeping in Touch
We’ll post again to tell you how to keep in touch with each of us soon.
Thank You
Thank you all for being here with us. Thank you for listening, for your (hopeful) understanding of the steps I am taking personally and as a result with the show. You’ve all been amazing and have been the bestest stalkers that a podcast could ever imagine having.
Keep a look-out here for a possible short goodbye episode from the four of us.
For those of you that don’t know, a tornado went through Kim’s neighborhood Monday night. She and her family are okay. They lost power and her computer has been fired.
The topic discussion on Books for tonight has been postponed until August 20th.
Tonight at 10 pm Eastern, there will be a GNI Unplugged on Talkshoe. Come join us for a chat on anything we want. Got a topic? Come live and request to talk. http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/16412
Please keep Kim, her family and neighbors in your thoughts and prayers.
