Facing Thirty

Local artist, hunter, and punctual podcast guest Mike Osterhout came by and chatted with me about his "Church of the Little Green Man", hunting (with supermodels) and more! Truly a pleasure to interview such an interesting man!

Miriam joins us again to interview me! Wow was that fun. Hang in there it's a long one, but worth it. We may ramble but we have heart.

What an amazing woman! I loved talking with Adrianne about her journey to find the Catskills and how she started her career as The Dirt Diva

I finally get to interview one of the coolest guys I know. We talk about how he got to the Catskills and what he's up to in his brand-new recording studio.

My second of three interviews with the one who made me. Enjoy an original recording of her band "Gollum", as well as the poem "How to Fuck a Farmer" by myself and Kalin Joslin of Lucky Dog Farm.

Hooray! Two amazing actresses in my new interview space. I find out how they got to Sullivan county and what they plan on doing now.

Ashley, my first guest ever, returns to the show to interview me! It was fun and refreshing. I am happy to be back and podcasting just in time for the new year!

Just a brief update, more interviews to come soon!

Darya is my amazing friend who lives in France, but she is here for a visit! We talk about her journey from opera singer to food-blogger on this week's episode.

The first of three installments with the woman who made me! Be prepared for a bit of history as we talk about her growing up on Long Island in the 60's, Woodstock, suburbia, early parenthood, rock n' roll, and more!

Conor just moved to the Catskills to make films! We talk a bit about him, but mostly our favorite movies.

I am lucky enough to work with Nina this summer. She is a skilled pastry chef and butcher visiting from North Carolina. We talk about her experience in the Catskills and living the seasonal worker life. Also, dating and such, maybe pancakes?

Here she is, my lovely cousin. We ramble on in this freestyle, unedited podcast. Enjoy!

Chelsea and I met at the Inn where I work, chatting at the bar late-night. She is a travel writer, her blog can be found at : http://theconnoisseurs.us/ Chelsea is full of life, curiousity, and a ton of great stories. She had previously interviewed me for her blog, so I had her on the show. Enjoy!

Bradley is a Sullivan County local who works hard to bring art and culture to the area. I enjoyed getting to know such a great person with so much to offer the world. Also I may be a bit jealous about how eloquent he is.

Zac opens up to me about his views on monogamy, having kids, and turning 30. I learn a lot about polyamorism and what it entails!

I got to relax and chat with Kelsey post-massage. She talks about her career as a massage-therapist. She also helps me relax a bit about my existential woes...or does she? A good friend for several years, I always enjoy my talks with Kelsey.

In this special pre-NY Primary episode, Miriam tells me about her experience of being arrested in DC, and shares her hope for out political future.

The episode in which Cat learns she needs to create a backlog of interviews... Next week... Miriam Rayevsky!!

Bill is new to the county and loving it. He tells me about how his life goals have changed and what he hopes to do (and is doing) here to help the community.

After several years of seeing Joe at parties but never getting to know him, we finally sat down to have a conversation. He talks about "staring down 30", which he turns in June. I learn about his struggles with addiction, the boredom of recovery, and his plans for the future. HE may be one of the most brutally honest people I've met, and I enjoy his candor immensely.

I got a chance to talk with a young local politician who is working hard to make changes here in Sullivan County. We commiserate with one another about having too many goals and no clue what to do about it.

This was a fun interview with a great man. We talk about his move from Soviet Russia to New York in the late 1970's, his artwork, and maybe a little politics. Rob gives me great advice and I may even take it!

My coworker and I talk about his life and how he likes it here in the Catskills. Originally from the Bronx, he moved here as a teen. We discuss life in our late 20's and what we want in our future. Also, I ramble about politics and daydream about starting a band.

In this episode I talk with my friend Dayna about farming, politics, dating, the LGBT community in Upstate New York, public nudity, and more!

My first episode! I talk with my friend Ashley about the issues we face in our late 20's and the dreaded 30. We talk politics, parents, pot, and more.
