On episode 615, I talked about the world needing more Mayberry so this week I wanted to challenge us all to try and spread that Mayberry spirit to others. I know that I’ve been blessed by folks reaching out to me and just saying, “I was thinking about you” so what would happen if all of us did that?
In Mayberry, folks checked on their neighbors when they hadn’t heard from them in a while. They’d drop by to see how they were doing or maybe have Sarah phone them so they could make sure they were okay. We have so many ways to communicate with each other these days and yet we still find reasons not to take time and do just that.
Let’s try and see what impact we might have on our friends and family if we act a little more like we’re from a small town.
We also share a laugh from Mayberry Days 2004 with a short clip of The Mayberry Deputy and Floyd killing time on stage before the start of the VW Boys concert.
Bonus: This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Howard McNear Part 1.”

This is good. Sure enough we are all so tired and worn down by bad news, COVID Virus and limited avenues of going to and fro to enjoy so many of the things we enjoy so much…this is a good reminder that we are all in this together and sharing so many of the same experiences. Nothing beats a good ole phone call and touching base with friends. Excellent piece on Howard McNear from Randy…I heard part two first as I am working my way backwards to catch up on the podcast.
