Timpview Voices

Aaron joins us as a guest to tell us about the two loves of his life: his girlfriend Jade and their 10-day-old daughter, Ember Sue. We talk about the joys and shocks of becoming a new parent and the deep sense of purpose that it brings. Both Billy and Rebecca are impressed with where Aaron's head and heart are.

Billy looks for tips about using baby wipes, and Rebecca calls out a relative for not changing very many diapers as a dad.

Karen Pierotti instantly connects with Billy and Macie during a conversation about South Korea and K-Dramas. She talks about the ups and downs of writing her first novel, Joy to My Love, and everyone laughs about the phenomenon of novelists forming crushes toward historical figures.

Karen and Macie give great insights into preserving the stories of loved ones. Billy has juicy family stories that may incriminate relatives, so he won't share them until the people involved have died.

Mary Bekker and Kaylee Bullock reminisce on their childhood memories in the Timpview neighborhood. They give tips on the right things to say (or not say) to someone dealing with a chronic illness. Kaylee plans to study psychiatric genetics, and Mary plans to create films that highlight people and the work they do.

Billy still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up, but Rebecca convinces him to buy some squishy, therapeutic water gel beads in the meantime.

Being an amputee has not stopped Aaron Summerill. He tells us about his adventures in wheelchair basketball, both as a college athlete and as a mentor to youth. He aspires to participate in democracy as an elected representative, joking that one day he'll be running up the stairs of Capitol Hill with a robot leg.

Macie overcomes her parents' objections to playing Dungeons and Dragons. Billy promises to talk trash to Aaron as a form of encouragement.

Jack Lott joins us and recounts his tenacious journey into the film industry. We learn about his skill sets and the productions he has worked on (which include the TV show, "The Chosen"). He gives insights for those pursuing creative careers.

Rebecca concludes that Millennials are unfairly getting a bad rap. Billy decides to watch The Chosen and is immediately hooked.

Chalon Hutson shares his views on freedom. He explains the Twitch streaming service so that even a five-year-old can understand it. Rebecca turns the corner as a weather wimp, and Billy admits to stalking his neighbors.
