The tables are turned on me for this episode as my husband, Casey, takes the chair as the interviewer and I become the interviewee. Case asks me about my childhood growing up in a small, rural town in Central Wisconsin. I share my athletic background and it's devastating end. I talk about struggling through college and my 3 trips to Asia to "find myself". Case and I reminisce on how we almost didn't meet, and how we finally went from boyfriend and girlfriend after being friends for 3 years. I share that napping (among other things) is one of my favorite hobbies, and Case asks me what my general life advice is.

Carrie's mentor, (and WDLB/WOSQ Radio News Director) Mike Warren, joins us on the pod this week to discuss how we first met, how I talked him into letting me be his intern for a summer, and my feelings about being put on-air right away. Carrie and Mike both share their advice for college kids and students who want to give broadcast a try. Mike tells us about going to college, dropping out, getting his first job in radio, and even admits to some of the stupid things he said on-air when he was just starting out. He also shares one of the fondest memories of his 20+ year career (it might shock you!). Carrie makes fun of Mike's typical lunch choice and we both come to the conclusion he is a child stuck in an adult's body.

The little, but fierce Breanna Butler is the star of this show! In this episode, Breanna shares how she first got interested and started in media at a young age, and how she took the reins running the cable company when boss and mentor was diagnosed with brain cancer. We reminisce on some of our favorite shows we've shot together, and Breanna tells us how she navigates (and thrives!) working in a male dominated field. She gives us the run down on meeting her future husband at work, and how they navigate working together now as husband and wife. We both discuss making the decision to go cruelty-free, and we end the show by gushing over our mutual obsession with the Bachelor.

MaryAnn Lippert is a strong, talented, and driven woman who Carrie just so happens to call mom. In this episode Carrie talks with MaryAnn about the ups and downs of following her passions and how her career unfolded over the years and eventually got her to her dream job today. Annnnnnd how she did it all while raising 3 kids and being a loving wife to her husband of 38 years. MaryAnn's story is honest, refreshing, and a gentle reminder that with determination, a good heart, and a goal, it all really does work out in the end.

Carrie welcomes Chicago White Sox first baseman (and her husband) Casey Gillaspie to the show. The two sit down to discuss the good, bad, and unknown realities of life as a professional athlete. Case tells us about being home-schooled until high-school, when he realized being a professional athlete was a possibility for him, what his schedule is really like during the season, and how he copes with distractions on and off the field. Carrie gushes over their two dogs - Gatsby and Lyla - and why they travel everywhere with them, then pulls back the curtain about what it's like moving 3(!!)times per year. Case and Carrie reminisce on the slighty scandalous way they met in college, the people they've met and friendships they've made because of baseball.

TV and radio personality Carrie Gillaspie brings you interviews and intimate conversations with remarkable people in a variety of different fields and areas of life. Together they'll discuss their journeys, thoughts, passions, and to ultimately help you see that we're all in this together.
