PART 2 OF THIS WILD CONVERSATION

-

Out of 213 episodes, it’s always hard to choose my favorite. People always ask “Which one should I check out first?” and I always had a tough time answering. After this week, it’s now an easy choice. This is it. - This week, I sit down with John Schalcosky or as most of yinz know him, Odd Pittsburgh. Odd Pittsburgh is described to be “Dedicated to exploring all of the unusual, mysterious & forgotten history of Pittsburgh lost in time.” When you look at Odd Pittsburgh, you’ll quickly see he does just that. This week, John and I sit down for the longest episode to date. We talk about everything from the mysterious B25 Bomber supposedly sitting in the bottom of the river, to Pittsburgh being the birth place of professional hockey, to the origin of our rivers, and literally so much more. Aliens, Ghosts, Bigfoot, Giants — you name it! An absolutely wild ride of a conversation and I couldn’t be more excited to drop it. Yinz are gonna love it. Enjoy!

This week, I'm going solo! I wasn't feeling 100% the last couple days. Little cough and a stuffy nose, but no COVID, so I canceled my interview with my guest. Instead of skipping a week, I decided to sit down for a solo quick episode touching on some shit going on in life and then answering some listener questions yinz sent in. We're talking about pets, homeowner problems, current events, what I been watching lately, the Half Assed Beer Share, and more. If you rip through this one quick, jump back into the Phone Book and find a name you aren't hip to and hit play. I'll be back next week with another great guest doing great things for the city. Thanks for listening and enjoy the episode!

This week, I have the honor of sitting down with the one and only, Mr. Rick Sebak. Rick Sebak is a Public Television Producer, writer, narrator, and exceptional human being. Without naming all his credits, you might know him best from his work in ‘A Hot Dog Program,’ ‘PA Diners & Other Roadside Restaurants,‘ or forever loved ‘Kennywood Memories.’ Today, Rick celebrated 35 years with WQED. I can’t put into words several decades of great work so I’m not going to try. This week, we talk about a plethora of things! Rick tells about keeping busy during a pandemic, Pittsburgh being the Transplant capital of the world at one point, George Romeros connection with Fred Rodgers, his health and making better choices, Kennywood, and so much more. Then after we recorded, Rick took me for a ride in his Mini Cooper. Never would have thought this podcast would lead me to taking a joyride with Mr. Rick Sebak. Just thankful for the opportunities given. Enjoy!

This week, I sit down with Anaïs Saint-André Loughran for a sensational conversation about one of the greatest things that ever existed, CHEESE! Anaïs and her husband Chris own Chantal's Cheese right in the heart of Bloomfield. Chantal’s Cheese Shop is a place you can go to experience cheese in a way that is unique to others. Anaïs and the rest of the team encourage you to come in and educate yourself through a journey of tastes and welcomed questions for the cheese monger on duty! Personally, there is nothing I like more than being able to pick the brain of the person behind something I enjoy. This week, Anaïs stopped by with a spread of delicious cheese and we munch while I learn a little more about her life. We talk about growing up in France, when her love of food began, the history behind the different varieties of cheese we are eating, the inspiration behind Chantal's Cheese Shop, and so much more. A long and amazing conversation with another great addition to the city. Thank you for listening. Enjoy!

This week, I sit down for a very interesting and informative talk with Myrna Newman. Myrna is the Executive Director of an organization called Allegheny CleanWays. Allegheny CleanWay's mission is to help combat litter and illegal dumping throughout our city. They are a small (but mighty) group of individuals who go out everyday and clean up the endless illegal dumping sites filled with trash and old tires beyond all of our eyes can. Just in Allegheny County alone, Allegheny CleanWays has cleaned up and removed over 5.4 MILLION pounds of trash. Not to mention, over 41,000 old tires. I mean, can you even conceptualize that? This week, Myrna and I talk about it all. We talk about the implantation of recycling in Western Pa, the first time Myrna seen a teammate bring an individual water bottle to a track meet, the mission the good people at ACW are trying to accomplish, where these endless piles of trash end up, and so much more. If you love the city you live in and you want to get involved go to AlleghenyCleanWays.org for more info. Thanks for listening.

Andy has been the head brewer over at Hitchhiker Brewing since the beginning, and this week, he stops by the studio to chat about the fantastic craft beer scene that Pittsburgh has been cultivating over this last decade. This is my first conversation with one of the big dawgs from the beer world and I was happy to have a journeyman like Andy in to let me ask him apprentice level questions. This week, we talk about Andy’s introduction to beer, how he got involved with brewing, his transition from being a home brewer to becoming a “professional,” the good work he does with the Pittsburgh Brewers Guild, and so much more.
