Jazzy, Jimmy, and Phreddie met in the mid-90s at a model railroad workshop. For the next 25 years, they have talked and talked and talked.  Usually, Phreddie, Jimmy, and Jazzy  spoke on the phone, and occasionally, they organized trips together. With the universal acceptance of Zoom conferencing, they began to meet every Tuesday, to continue their friendship.

The podcast is Jazzy’s fault. He initiated the idea, and Jimmy and Phreddie agreed mostly because all we had to do was talk, and it is more interesting to do something together, than it is to chat together.

Their conversations are centered on a weekly topic or prompt. Essentially, the podcast is a recording of their weekly conversations, with some awareness of an imaginary audience.

Throughout their years of friendship, they have leaned on each other, shared notes and stories, and helped each other navigate the complexities and challenges of a life well-lived.
