Sarah McBride launched her congressional reelection campaign in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on June 16, 2026. While the politician gears up for her run, the name Sarah has also taken over the podcast airwaves, specifically on My Favorite Murder, where hosts shared stories from two very different listeners with the moniker.
On the show, co-host Georgia Hardstark read a listener email detailing a bizarre childhood incident at church camp. Hardstark recounted the camp ranger's deadpan message to the listener's mother: "No, ma'am. This morning at 10:00 AM, your daughter Sarah had an incident in the pool involving an animal attack."
Meanwhile, co-host Karen Kilgariff shared a much gentler submission from another listener, introducing her as "Sarah, she/her." This second story detailed a heartwarming childhood memory of her father secretly dropping coins for her to find, highlighting a completely different side of the Sarah experience.
Whether launching campaigns or surviving pool-based wildlife encounters, Sarahs are driving the narrative this week. Expect more listener-submitted tales to keep the name in the podcast rotation as the summer rolls on.
