    Happyland: A New Musical Takes Root in Charleston History

    Join me as I talk about Happyland, a new musical by Toby Singer making its debut this June inside the historic Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim synagogue — the very place where its story unfolded nearly 200 years ago. I sat down with director Linda Eisen, dramaturg Robin Shuler, and actress Langley Cornwell to talk about what it means to perform history in the room where it happened, why this story matters right now, and how to get involved in local theater. Happyland runs June 4–14 at KKBE, 90 Hasell Street, Charleston. Tickets and information at happylandmusical.com.

    Come Hungry: Inside Charleston's Chef's Collective

    Today we're heading into one of Charleston, South Carolina's most unique culinary spaces — Chef's Collective, a hands-on cooking school and commissary kitchen that is unlike anything else in the area. I stumbled upon Chef's Collective while looking for a genuine hands-on cooking experience in Charleston — and I'm so glad I did. I speak with chef and owner, Katie Williams, and partner, chef, and my Thai Street Food cooking class instructor, James Neal, about starting the business and the teaching energy that makes total beginners feel like they belong in a kitchen.  Come hungry! Leave inspired.

    Courtside Conversations

    In this episode, I spend time with my tennis pro, Jeff Short, and a group of women from my team, talking about the game, what keeps us coming back, and how tennis fits into our lives today. From strategy and mindset to friendship and fun, these courtside conversations go beyond the basics of the sport. This isn’t just about tennis—it’s about the connections we build, the challenges we take on, and the ways we continue to grow, both on and off the court.

    Fire and Iron: A Day at the Forge

    This episode takes you inside the forge at Charleston Adventure Forest, where I tried blacksmithing for the first time. I had a fascinating conversation with a working blacksmith, and learned about two pieces of Charleston history you need to know: Philip Simmons, the legendary ironworker whose gates and balconies still decorate the historic district, and the American College of the Building Arts — the only college in the country that grants a bachelor's degree in the traditional building trades. The iron is hot. Let's go!

    Stick, Ball, and 3,000 Years: Discovering Hurling in Charleston

    In this episode I'm sitting down with Ryan Finn, President of the Charleston Hurling Club, to talk hurling and camogie — two of the fastest, most athletic, and most surprisingly accessible sports you've probably never considered trying. We cover the sport's remarkable history, how it almost vanished entirely, and how it ended up thriving right here in South Carolina with players who have zero Irish heritage.
