Welcome back to the last episode of Season Two! Our season finale is a very special episode, indeed -- starring my grandmother, Marnie Higgins, a.k.a. Maggie.

Thank you to Maggie for sharing her crushes, and thank you for listening!  This episode marks the end of Season Two. We hope to be back with Season 3 soon, but as we come to a close, thank you to our Crush-Cast listeners, friends and family for your support. And a huge thank you to all of my hometown heroes who willingly stepped up to the plate to share their crushes with me. Thank you for listening, and we'll see you soon!
