High Regard Show

Sláinte! With St. Patrick's Day coming this week, the "High Regard Show" presents Episode 123, "HRS Go Bragh," our travel guide to Ireland. We tell you why places like the Aran Islands, Rock of Cashel and Giant's Causeway are must-visits, offer tips for trip-planning and saving money, why you should definitely eat the black-and-white pudding in your Irish breakfast and how you should absolutely prepare to carry a little piece of the Emerald Isle in your heart long after you come home. .

“The POTSie" will return next week!

In Episode 122 of the “High Regard Show,” “Breakaway Toronto,” we introduce a new travel segment, "Breakaway," in which we highlight a 24-hour mini break in select cities. We start with Toronto, where we fit in: a visit to the underwater wonderland of Ripley's Aquarium of Canada, the views from CN Tower, cheering on our New York Islanders in the Church of the Maple Leafs, paying our respects to the Stanley Cup at the Hockey Hall of Fame and our first poutine — and splurged on a stay at the luxurious Omni King Edward Hotel.

In “The POTSie," Tom talks about the effects of going without one of his POTS-treating staples during our stay in Canada and pushing through the exhaustion to enjoy our Breakaway in Toronto.

In Episode 121 of the “High Regard Show,” “Becca Blackwell,” we talk to trans comedian Becca Blackwell. They will bring their one-person show, "They, Themselves and Schmerm," to Joe's Pub in the East Village on Feb. 22. Becca tells us how to pronounce "schmerm," how the show came about and what's next on their docket.

“The POTSie” will be back next week since Nikki let Tom have the week off the segment since it's his birthday week and all, and he might even share what made his big day awesome, but you have to listen to find out!

Kona made a (noisy) appearance on this week's show, but you can follow her antics every damn day by following our little rescue pit bull/studio manager via @TheKonaPersona on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

In Episode 120 of the “High Regard Show,” “Konacation,” we talk about our Konacation, aka staycation, with studio manager Kona at the Executive Hotel Le Soleil in New York's Fashion District. We discuss the luxury hotel's great pet-friendly service, its human amenities, navigating Midtown Manhattan with your furkid and more.

In this week's "The POTSie," Tom tackles his ever-increasing symptoms of brain fog, which are affecting his ability to get out of bed in the morning.

In Episode 118 of the “High Regard Show,” “Vote Run Lead,” we talk to Erin Vilardi, founder and executive director of VoteRunLead, an organization that teaches women across the country how to run for office. Vote Run Lead is hosting "Women Run 2018" after the Women's March in NYC on Saturday, Jan. 20. Erin talks about the post-march event, how she became interested in politics back in the seventh grade and her hopes for women in politics in 2018.

In "The POTSie," Tom talks about his current bout with two big symptoms of POTS, nausea and blurred vision, which have suddenly come out swinging. He discusses how using one of those newfangled weighted blankets that are all the rage helps with the former while the latter is taking a bit longer to clear up.

In Episode 117 of the “High Regard Show,” “Sage Advice,” we talk to Sage Amdahl, the founder of cannabis advocacy and consultant group, Sage Advice.

In Episode 116 of the “High Regard Show,” “Rock Critic,” we talk to Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, the creators of the solo play, “How to Be a Rock Critic,” which will run Jan. 5-15 as part of The Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival. It's based on the writings of legendary rock critic Lester Bangs, and Jessica and Erik tell us how they brought the larger-than-life icon to the stage — and what he might think of the show.

In “The POTSie,” Tom talks about revisiting some old meds due to some anger issues and how he’s going to rectify his recent malnourishment diagnosis.

If you make one resolution this year, it should be to follow our rescue pit bull Kona via @TheKonaPersona on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. She's too cut to miss, that's for damn sure.

In Episode 115 of the “High Regard Show,” “The Firmest Friend,” we interview Andrew Fixell, first-time filmmaker behind “The Firmest Friend.” Andrew tells us how this documentary about four homeless youths and their relationship with their pit bulls came about, debunking the stigma of the breed and what the future holds for him.

Because we went on a bit of a bender about that time our car died at a most inopportune time (Christmas Eve) in a very unfortunate location (George Washington Bridge), Tom won’t have “The POTSie” this week, but don’t you worry, it’ll be right here next week … err, year.

Speaking of, happy 2018, listeners! We made it (didn’t we?!) Thank you for another great year of listening to HRS. We look forward to piercing your eardrums all through the new year.

Yours in High Regard,

Nikki & Tom

PS: Nikki wanted to use “Shake & Bake” as our salutation, but Tom thought it was more of a mantra than a sign off, so there’s that.

PSS: Are you following our four-legged studio manager? Well, you should find @TheKonaPersona on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. You're welcome.

Andrew Fixell: 18:30:00

In Episode 114 of the “High Regard Show,” “Raw Emotion," we talk to musician Jay Stolar. Jay just released "Soho NY," the first EP from his new "Raw Emotions" series, which will see him release two songs a month and a new EP every quarter. He tells us where the idea for the series came from, the difference between songwriting for himself vs writing for others and his favorite pizza joint in New York.

In “The POTSie,” Tom's gives a bit of a throwback to "Roly Poly Roarty" by talking about his luxurious locks — and getting out of the house for something that wasn't a walk with Kona or a doctor's appointment.

With the holidays coming, you should really be following HRS studio manager @TheKonaPersona on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. She's truly the gift that keeps giving.
