    Stepping Into Curiosity: Friendship, Distance, and How the World Shapes Us (Part 1)

    In part one of this two-part conversation, I sit down with Kristin and Vicky, two women I've known since high school whose lives have taken them overseas in very different ways. We talk about family, travel, living abroad, and how stepping outside the U.S. can deepen your appreciation for home. This conversation is also about female friendship, how it evolves over time, strengthens across distance, and becomes an anchor as life changes. This episode is rooted in curiosity: what draws us outward, what challenges us, and how the world shapes us when we're willing to say yes to it.   Sponsors: https://www.betterhelp.com/altereagle   Follow & Subscribe to get episodes automatically as they drop every Monday.

  2. Love Letters: Bringing Words To Life On Stage

    1월 28일

    Love Letters: Bringing Words To Life On Stage

    In this episode of Alter Eagle, we're spotlighting Butler Little Theatre's production of Love Letters by A.R. Gurney, a romantic, funny, and poignant story told entirely through decades of correspondence between two lifelong friends.   Love Letters explores love and longing, privilege and pressure, success and failure and the choices we make as we walk the path of life. With two alternating casts bringing this story to life, the production highlights the power of simple storytelling and human connection.   Melissa is portrayed by Nedra Casey and Katy Wayne, with Andrew played by Dennis Casey and Jud Stewart. The first four performances feature Nedra and Dennis, with Katy and Jud taking the stage for the final four shows. Directed by Jerry Johnson   Opening this Friday January 30th at Butler Little Theatre, Love Letters feels especially timely, a reminder that in a world that often feels heavy, love, empathy, and connection still matter.   Support local theater. Support storytelling.   For tickets and show information, visit Butler Little Theatre. www.butlerlittletheatre.com    Sponsors:   https://www.betterhelp.com/altereagle   Follow & Subscribe to get episodes automatically as they drop every Monday.

  3. Presence, Faith, and Finding Meaning with Pastor Katie McNeal.

    2025. 12. 17.

    Presence, Faith, and Finding Meaning with Pastor Katie McNeal.

    In this episode, I sit down with Pastor Katie McNeal of St. John Lutheran Church in Mars for a thoughtful conversation about faith, creativity, and connection.   Pastor Katie joined the St. John congregation in 2022, bringing with her a wide-ranging background, from Camp Lutherlyn and youth ministry work to earning advanced degrees at Yale Divinity School. Along the way, she's also been a kickboxing instructor, a gardener, a musician with the Pittsburgh Philharmonic, and a pastor deeply committed to meeting people where they are.   We talk about what it means to share the Good News in ways that feel engaging and accessible, and we reflect on a small but powerful symbol inside the church, the IHS engraving on the pulpit, the first three letters of Jesus' name in Greek, serving as a reminder of presence, meaning, and faith in everyday life. We also discuss the annual Live Nativity St. John Lutheran performs for the Mars, PA community joining with another church in the neighborhood, LIVE animals and all, even a donkey!   This episode is a moment of pause and reflection as we head into the holiday season and a reminder of the power of presence, community, and storytelling.   Note: The podcast will take a brief break for the holidays and return with new episodes in the new year.   Episode Resources:   https://www.facebook.com/stjohnchurchmars   Sponsors:   https://www.betterhelp.com/altereagle   Follow & Subscribe to get episodes automatically as they drop every Monday.

  4. Where Passion Meets Partnership: The Merda Adams In Sports Media.

    2025. 12. 10.

    Where Passion Meets Partnership: The Merda Adams In Sports Media.

    Today's episode features a candid and engaging conversation with Jake and Mallory Merda Adams, a couple who have spent the last decade building parallel careers in the fast-paced world of sports journalism. Jake, a Temple grad originally from Northampton, PA, has spent nearly twelve years in the field, serving as a sports editor at The Carlisle Sentinel, Madison.com, and the Louisville Courier Journal. His approach to storytelling is rooted in community, curiosity, and a deep love for the games that bring people together. Mallory, born and raised in Irwin just south of Pittsburgh, discovered her passion early through trips to pro games with her dad. Today, she's a sports editor and sports content coach with USA TODAY, shaping stories across the country while still holding space for her fun side as an avid Sailor Moon and Pokémon collector. Together, Jake and Mallory open up about the rhythm of life in sports media, the balance between partnership and deadlines, how they support one another through busy seasons, and what keeps them inspired in an industry that never really slows down. If you love sports, storytelling, or just a good behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to thrive in journalism today, this episode is for you.   Sponsors: https://www.betterhelp.com/altereagle   Follow & Subscribe to get episodes automatically as they drop every Monday.

  6. Gratitude in a Tiny New York Apartment.

    2025. 11. 26.

    Gratitude in a Tiny New York Apartment.

    This Thanksgiving, I'm sharing a story from my time living in New York with roommates from all over the world — people who, just a month earlier, were complete strangers to me.   It was their first Thanksgiving, and our tiny apartment became a place where different languages, spices, cultures, and expectations collided into one shared meal. That night reminded me how quickly strangers can become family, and how gratitude is often found around tables we never expected to sit at.   Sponsors: https://www.betterhelp.com/altereagle   Follow & Subscribe to get episodes automatically as they drop every Monday.

    Ray Ray's Wild Ride: A Cat's 100-Mile Journey
