Those Boys on the Hill

The pod shares their experiences with food and cooking and how it shaped their lives.

Khalaf Mungo was the youngest brother in the house on the hill when Elliot and Iszel were about to graduate.  He shares his story of how his experiences there gave him a new lease on life.

Those Boys connect with Jay Paul Deratany about his movie Foster Boy and his passion surrounding his work to reform the foster care system. 

Those Boys talk about the Chauvin verdict and Iszel's and Jeanelle's experiences with the justice system.

Those Boys discuss one of the most pivotal moments during their stay at the house on the hill. 

Dave Lichter joins the pod this week to share his experience as a weekend house parent for the house on the hill.

They've touched on it before. Now it's time to reveal more about life on the hill with Henry and Jeanine as house parents. 

Those Boys continue the discussion of backhanded compliments and answer some questions from two middle-aged white women, Jeanelle and her sister-in-law, Sue.  Be sure to stick around for classic TBOTH tales – Philly Croquet and  Honeycomb Frank.

Long-time friend Eddie joins Those Boys on the Hill to talk about his take on the Abandoned House, their time at Avon Grove, and Puerto Rican history. 

Check out the lecture he mentions, "War Against All Puerto Ricans"
