This is another fun one! We have Marielle Martin, designer of our logo and an all around interesting and interested person, to tell us about wood turning. What is it? How did she get interested in it? What a gift confidence is for life! We also learn about some of her other interests.

Check out some of her amazing pieces on this week's BlueSky post: @canweinterestyouin.bsky.social

On this week's episode we dive into one of Patti's interests for the past 16 years, the Chiditarod, an "epic urban shopping cart race." The 20th anniversary of the event was March 1, 2025, so we talk about its origin story, fundraising for food insecurity, Hercule Poirot, and fun sabotage. No homework for us this time, because Patti already aced hers.
