The Inspiration
Shauna Harrison and Dan Pugh are both writers with varied
backgrounds. Shauna guest-hosted on one of Dan's podcast and had so
much fun she wanted to start her own podcast. She asked Dan to join her because
they both have a love of words and where those words come from. Shauna and Dan
have known each other since they were kids and have a long history which helps
the banter and conversational tone of the show.
The name "Bunny Trails" comes from the idiom 'down
the rabbit trail' meaning to get stray from the point of the story. Shauna felt
this was a clever name, since it's a show about idioms. Both her and Dan
have a tendency to get lost down bunny trails during conversations.
The Team

is produced by Readiness
Corner, LLC., a small business based in the Wichita area,

Sources
At
Bunny Trails, we love digging down into multiple sources to find a well-rounded
history for your favorite idioms and other turns of phrase. Sources are available upon request. They'll also be in the show notes, which are available as a reward on
our Patreon page.
While
our sources will vary each week, there are some "go to" places we use
to either get information, or help guide us in a research direction. If we find
a new book or site that we frequently use, we'll post it here so you can use
it, too. Think of this page as a "running list".
Oxford
English Dictionary - www.oed.com - This site
requires a subscription. Check with your local library to see if they already
have a subscription. Dan is such a fan, he has his own subscription.
Library of Congress: Chronicling America: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov - This is a free website operated by the Library of Congress. It digitizes newspapers from the United States and territories that would later join the USA. It has records from 1789 to 1963.
Webster's
New Twentieth Century Dictionary of the English Language - 1950
Unabridged Edition - Shauna has this in print, which she uses to see how things
were reported in the middle of the last century. That sounded really weird in
my head typing this, but it's a true statement... middle of last century. The
book is over 5 inches thick and weighs in at over 10.5 lbs!

Dan Pugh
Dan spent the first 20+ years of his career in public safety holding positions as a firefighter, paramedic, emergency manager, and disaster responder. He earned lots of letters after his name, which just make his business cards really long and obnoxious. After what seemed like a lifetime, Dan left his cushy 90 hour a week Director level government job to start his own consulting business focused on preparedness and public outreach.
Throughout Dan's career, he always had a hand in public outreach. This left Dan writing scores of education materials, business documents, and short stories to help people connect to preparedness efforts. Now, Dan writes more fanciful stories - and still some preparedness outreach stuff.
Dan previously co-hosted "The Readiness Corner". He has guest-hosted on other podcasts including "State of Ready" and "Your Brain On Facts".
Dan's fandom labels include Nerdfighter, Gryffindor, and any labels you wish to ascribe to a fan of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Stargate.
