What's Eating You‪?‬ BRB

This week, we welcome a fellow Bucks County native, Duane, to the show. In a timely post-election episode, we trace this man and his wife's story from a South African honeymoon, to NYC in the throes of pandemic, to his adoption of a puppy and impending fatherhood. The whirlwind happenings of the past summer also gave him some insight into the resilience of people, and hope for the future. Here's hoping that we can share it with you.This episode is dedicated to all the Brian ...

This week sees us chasing the leaves south, winding up with a conversation with Meghin, living just off the Tobacco Road in North Carolina. Meghin's pandemic has been marked with change, and we talk about how this time forced her to pause the work wheel, the journey to the hyphen, and lets us know just how good her cinnamon rolls have become. Join us for a special 20th episode of "What's Eating You."(10/22/2020)Music: www.purple-planet.com

This week, I catch up with Roxy, who holds the title for "coolest job experience" from among my entire stable of friends. In our conversation, she recounts her time out on deepwater oil rigs, takes us through a year of travel and exploration, and finally, developing roots in the Pacific northwest, while developing a new outlet for exploration - as "skipper" of her own ship.(9/30/2020)Music: www.purple-planet.com

As the summer of COVID turned to fall, I found time to chat with Jackson. In a conversation that ranged from Mulan to Moviepass, home ownership to home gyms, we also talked about how to manage being honest with yourself about where you are, and where you want to be, and opening up to those around you to make it through these times.This conversation made possible by boiled steak.

On Labor Day, I snuck away from a barbeque long enough to reach out to Jackie, a former student-athlete and vibrant personality, to wrap up her summer. Our conversation picks up with her recent return from the latest stop on her lifelong quest: for the perfect "lobstah roll" (she's something of an aficionado), but soon transitions to a more grounding topic for most of us during the months of pandemic - navigating these unfamiliar spaces while maintaining ourselves, and our mental health...

We join up with Leaps in this conversation. A pacific northwest transplant, he found the transition to quarantine's "work-from-home" directive in stride as well as he did the shift from NYC's suit and tie law firm dynamic to researching case law in Birkenstocks. From the short-lived Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, to the hope for truth and reconciliation among our national history, our far-reaching conversation takes us through the labor of love of being a citizen in modern America....
