  • #150 - My Mom - Dena Oppenheim - "I Vascillate"

    Dena Oppenheim was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. She then lived in seven cities in five states before moving to Arizona where for the last 14 years she has lived in the same house in Scottsdale, the longest ever in one home. Her beliefs and reflections have changed as easily as her residences, but her inner core is always steadfast in trying to be loving and kind.  She’s never had a “Bucket List” because her bucket has always been full. She’s Mike’s Mom, and you’ll love her!

  • Casual Conversations #20 - Two Jews, None Kvetch
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit mikeyopp.substack.com

    Sam and Mike talk about being raised “Jewish” by two meditating hippies in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 90s, and how that panned out as they enter their forties and raise families of their own. It’s philosophical and silly, and we do not spend even one second on politics (this means it’s fun). Enjoy!
