Hey Happy Campers! Camp Counselors is a good natured podcast hosted by your favorite fake camp counselors Zachariah and Jonathan. Here at Camp Shady Birch we love the great outdoors in theory, but we’d rather spend our time making friendship bracelets, spreading camper gossip, keeping our heads in the clouds, and avoiding archery. We know we would make great camp counselors minus the fact that we know nothing about camping. So grab your sunscreen and bug spray because things are about to get campy.

Camp Counselors with Zachariah Porter and Jonathan Carson

This week break down why the entire tap dance community has turned against us. Plus, we dive into a bizarre mystery about a floating island disappearing in Canada, a doctor waking up with a bat in her mouth, a scary road rage encounter that followed Counselor Jonathan, and whether the soul patch is finally making a comeback. Episode 197 of Camp Counselors Podcast was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.

iPod Diva Ends Up on Teacher's Windshield - Trail Mix #143

This week at Camp Shady Birch, we’re taking a wild ride... LITERALLY. Counselor Z discovers a log flume for sale on Facebook Marketplace, and baby that’s just the beginning. Not to be dramatic but we suffered the ultimate bait-and-switch from an oil painting seller who yanked the art right out of our hands. We are thrashing out and lashing out in this episode, yall. And little miss U-Haul? She's in the trash. Bill Nye however... is not ;) Let's get WHIMSICAL! (sung to the tune of Physical by Olivia Newton John).
