Put Me in Touch

Tracy and I work at the same hardware store in Washington, DC and we went to the same weird, small college. Tracy, who I've known for 10 years now, is the friendliest, chattiest person I know and loves talking to just about anybody. She is working on her first novel with help from the Iowa Writers Workshop, which we talked about for a bit (Recorded November 3, 2016)

Swati Agarwal is a pediatric intensive care unit physician. I had an absolutely inspiring conversation with Swati (introduced by Kaitlin Eckenroth in episode 005) that made me cry just a little bit at one point. We talked about her career and some of her volunteer work in countries that need people like her. This was a great episode and hopefully a sign of things to come! (Recorded 9/20/16)

Karl is Yale's most vocal Donald Trump supporter and worked this summer launching a start-up. I met Karl about 7 or 8 years ago when he was 12 years old and would wander into the coffee shop I worked at looking for someone to talk to. Among other things we talked about... The Donald and why he is backing him in this election. (Recorded 8/18/16)

I started running into my old elementary school friend, Colin Dunphy, around town recently and he agreed to sit down for a conversation at his family's beautiful historic Maryland farm, The Wyoming, previously owned by William Marbury (of Madison v. Marbury fame). Among other things, we drank beers & watched Donald Trump's speech at the 2016 Republican Convention. The farm has its own Wikipedia page.
