Jason and Sam team up to interview Jake Cohen, a "nice Jewish boy who loves food." Jake talks about how he celebrates the diversity in what it means to be Jewish, including the way food can represent the blending of cultures. We love asking about how Jake (a trained chef) and his husband (a pianist) work together in the kitchen. The conversation gets really interesting as we talk about our relationships to food and our bodies, Jewish wedding traditions, and hospitality as a way to build community.

As the title of his album would suggest, Hayden brings something "Different" to the modern country music scene. He tells us about living in places like New York City and San Francisco after growing up in South Carolina, after finally settling in Nashville to pursue a career in music. We talk about long distance relationships, inclusivity in the country music industry, and—true to country music form!—we talk about our mommas. Oh, moms!
