So THIS Happened...

“So THIS Happened…” is the podcast version of catching up with your most unfiltered friend over wine. Each week, Jen and Rachel dive into personal mishaps, past memories, local happenings, weird habits, and whatever else pops up — including the occasional celebrity headline we just have to talk about. It’s casual, it’s chaotic, and it’s all real.

Episode 21: The Art of Gnomecoming
Recorded in the original Hopping Gnome Brewery ✨

This week, we're back where so many creative stories began. In Episode 21 — yes, our podcast can officially drink — Jen and Rachel settle into the cozy glow of the OG Hopping Gnome, now transformed into a festive Holiday Pop-Up Bar.

We’re joined by friend of the pod and Hopping Gnome co-founder Stacy Ward Lattin, who brings ten years of stories, laughs, cozy vibes, and behind-the-scenes brewery magic. We talk:

✨ The making of the new Holiday Pop-Up
✨ Exclusive seasonal beers + cocktails
✨ Gnome traditions (yes, including the Douglas Avenue Pale discourse)
✨ Why this tiny space still holds a big place in Wichita’s heart
✨ Holiday rituals, community, and the art of slowing down

Grab a festive drink, get comfy, and celebrate The Art of Gnomecoming with us.
