During the Coronavirus Pandemic, like most people, I was staying at home. To pass the time, I'm having conversations with friends old and new, to hear what they're cooking, eating, or anything else that quarantine, or the new normal, has brought to the forefront of their minds. Listen in for good conversations, new recipes, and a wide range of perspectives on our changing world.

  1. "Jumping in With Two Feet" (Duane) Ep. 021

    "Jumping in With Two Feet" (Duane) Ep. 021

    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 O'Conners out there - who used to live their lives a quarter-mile at a time. (11/6/2020) Music: www.purple-planet.com

  2. "Do What Works for You" (Meghin) Ep. 020

    "Do What Works for You" (Meghin) Ep. 020

    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."

    "Leap of Faith" (Roxy) Ep. 019

    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.

  4. "Be Better When You Come Out" (Jackson) Ep. 018

    09/28/2020

    "Be Better When You Come Out" (Jackson) Ep. 018

    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.

  5. "You Don't Have To Do This On Your Own" (Jackie) Ep. 017

    09/14/2020

    "You Don't Have To Do This On Your Own" (Jackie) Ep. 017

    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. [Note: there were some one time audio quality issues recording my vocal track. Please bear with us this week.] Jackie's Lobster Roll ratings can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEsM9qjBdIU/ @kennakaycreative campaign highlight can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEAhfsShqbN/ This conversation was made possible by all the establishments that served us great food, drink, and memories.

  6. "Reckoning Szn" (Leaps) Ep. 016

    08/31/2020

    "Reckoning Szn" (Leaps) Ep. 016

    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. This episode marks the shift to our new schedule for the foreseeable future - once every two weeks.  Savor those old eps in the meantime!  Make sure you get caught up... This episode brought to you by the National Gardening Association. (8/13/2020) Music: www.purple-planet.com

    "Level Up" (Nate) Ep. 015

    This week's episode features another visit to our coastal cousins in California, where we meet up with Nate, who has been "Doing Big Things," since his grade school days.  A DMV kid who tasted global promise during his four years in Miami, Nate takes us behind the scenes of his quarantine, spent buying a 100 year-old fixer-upper with no previous know-how, pushing forward an event production company in a landscape with no events, and reminding himself just how Rich we all are. Learn more about DBT Nation at www.dbtnation.com and follow him @dbtnation on IG. This episode was made possible by the American Camp Association, which has been helping seven-year olds manage their homesickness for over 100 years. (8/11/2020) Music: www.purple-planet.com

    "Eventually You Will Run Many Miles" (Chebbi) Ep. 014

    Following a week-long hiatus, we return to "What's Eating You."  In this phased restart, I welcome Anyssa (@chebbzzz) to the pod.  She's the creator of One Minute Graphics, an Instagram account that transforms podcasts, articles, and books into educational illustrations for quick consumption of new information.  In addition to hearing how she self-started her journey into the fine arts, we also chat about pandemic mindset, and how building confidence and community can help us weather these strange times.This episode made possible by Hatfield Dollar Dog Night at Citizen's Bank Park. @oneminutegraphics: https://instagram.com/oneminutegraphics?igshid=dx9kh8tmsftg (8/6/2020) Music: www.purple-planet.com
