Kratom Stories Podcast Update, Holiday Break, and Our New YouTube Channel

Madalyn shares an important update after losing the Kratom Stories Podcast YouTube channel, explains where to find the show now, and announces a brief holiday break before returning in January.

In this short solo episode, Madalyn shares an important update with the Kratom Stories Podcast community.

After losing the Kratom Stories Podcast YouTube channel, Madalyn explains what happened, where listeners can now find the show on YouTube, and why this moment makes sense to take a brief holiday break. She also shares thoughts on the ongoing challenges of social media censorship within the Kratom community and why continuing to share honest, educational information matters.

We'll return with new episodes in January.

THE KRATOM GALS is a dose of real talk, real stories, and relentless advocacy. Every week, we dive into the latest Kratom headlines, react to videos, and call out misinformation with facts and fierce passion. It's not just a show, it’s a movement to protect the plant we love and the people who rely on it. YouTube.com/@KratomRealTalk

Hey everyone, it's Madeline.
I just want to jump on and share

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,920
a quick update with you.
First, I want to thank you for

3
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,440
listening to the Kratom Stories
Podcast and for being part of

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,200
this awesome community.
Whether you've been here from

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,880
the beginning or you found the
show more recently, I truly

6
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,160
appreciate you taking the time
to listen and support what we're

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,000
doing.
So I do have some news to share.

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,000
Unfortunately, we lost our
Kratom Stories Podcast YouTube

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,480
channel this week.
It's been a tough hit because as

10
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,520
many of you know, I've spent the
last several years building that

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,920
Channel up.
It became a space not just for

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,240
this podcast, but also for the
Kratom Gals weekly live stream

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,120
and other educational resources
and information for our

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,920
community.
I wanted to make sure you heard

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,120
about this from me rather than
just wondering where did

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,200
everything go?
Where did where did the YouTube

17
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,760
channel go?
But the good news is we do have

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,400
a backup channel on YouTube.
It's called Kratom Real Talk.

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,040
I'd really appreciate it if you
could head over there and

20
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,200
subscribe.
I'm working to get all 87

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,760
episodes of this podcast added
over there and it's going to

22
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,000
take a little while.
So this is a perfect moment for

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,680
us to just take a bit of a
breather over the holidays so I

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,280
can regroup.
So that's the plan.

25
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,280
We'll be taking a holiday break
right now.

26
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,160
There won't be any new episodes
until January.

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,080
And I hope you all have a
wonderful and restful holiday

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160
season.
We'll come back fresh and ready

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,480
to go in the new year.
And before I wrap up, I just

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,920
want to share a few thoughts on
the bigger picture of all this.

31
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,200
For many of us in the kratom
community, dealing with social

32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,640
media censorship is such a real
challenge.

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,840
We're just trying to share
honest, helpful information, and

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,640
sometimes that means we hit
these roadblocks.

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,960
I want to thank you all for your
support and just remind you that

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,080
we're going to keep pushing
forward and we're going to find

37
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,240
ways to get the word out no
matter what.

38
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,520
Please feel free to share this
with others in the kratom

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,680
community so they know where to
find us.

40
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,760
Thanks so much for listening,
everyone.

41
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Please do subscribe to the new
channel.

42
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Have a wonderful holiday and
I'll talk to you in the new

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:23,160
year.

Host, Kratom Stories Podcast

I started my Kratom journey in 2019 to help alleviate my chronic pain. Since then I have become a loud and proud advocate. My mission is to not only share my story but also to help other people share theirs. That is why I started the Kratom Stories Podcast and the Kratom Real Talk forum. I also host The Kratom Gals livestream where we stomp out misinformation and share Kratom love.
