This week on Mildly Interesting People, we struggle through some technical difficulties but — more importantly — we get to spend some quality time with Kat Miller, the founder of Foxbox (https://www.foxboxes.org/) an amazing nonprofit that provides support for infants and their families through long hospital stays. 

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of cancer, hospitalization, and death.

Cami Kaos and Rick Turoczy are mildly interesting people. Kat Miller is VERY interesting.

Hey. It's us — the Mildly Interesting People that you know, Cami Kaos and Rick Turoczy. Let's be honest. We weren't happy with our audio levels. And we were planning to fix them. But then someone else mentioned that the audio levels were off and so we got really self-conscious about it. So we worked on fixing them.

It's an iterative process. Or something. And stuff.

This week on the Mildly Interesting People podcast, Cami Kaos and Rick Turoczy take a moment to review their first actual podcast with a guest. What went right? What went wrong? Will they even keep doing this thing? Tune in to find out.

This week on the Mildly Interesting People podcast, Cami Kaos and Rick Turoczy catch up with Mika Epstein, the first official guest of the Mildly Interesting People podcast — and a wildly interesting podcast guest at that.  

Mika — @ipstenu — is a fourth-generation Cleveland Guardians fan; cross-stitches inappropriate phrases on a regular basis; oversees the largest database of queer, transgender, and nonbinary women in scripted television, https://lezwatch.tv/; is deeply involved in the WordPress and open source community; has a tendency to make her friends cry; and is a self-described "professional lesbian."
