This Is Why We're Married
This Is Why We're Married
Nikki + Amy
A podcast about almost everything hosted by a married queer couple in their twenties, Nikki (they/them) and Amy (she/her). Together for almost 8 years and married for 2, we have yet to run out of stuff to talk about (and probably never will). Join us for weird things, spooky stories, hyper-fixations, and so much more.
Episode 4: Aliens: Texas UFO Sightings & The Abduction of Travis Walton
Greetings friends! To skip ahead to the alien stories, Amy’s Rants and Raves ends at: 8:51 On today’s episode we’re talking about aliens and UFOs!! Definitely one of the most fun and polarizing topics ever! Nikki gives us the rundown of a ton of UFO sightings in our state of Texas. Then, Amy tells us about the 1975 alien abduction of Travis Walton, which has been convincing non-believers to rethink their previous beliefs about extraterrestrials for decades.

Episode 1: The Government, The Moon, & Mount Everest
Howdy! We're Amy and Nikki! A married queer couple who never stop talking. On our first episode ever, we introduce our podcast and how it came to be. Then we jump right into a few conspiracy theories. Amy tackles some government-centered conspiracies and exposes how unprepared she was. Nikki discusses the out-there theory of the moon being fake and then, dives into the horrible reality of Mount Everest.  Bare with us as we get used to microphone levels and get used to talking to an audience, but we're so excited to start this journey and hope you are excited to listen!
