Podcasts about seattlite

Last year we met Brie Ripley, a young newly married Seattlite who had moved to Rome for a job without ever having visited the city, or even the country. On this episode, we catch up with her and husband 10 months later to see how they are adjusting to life in Rome and life as expats, now that the expat honeymoon phase is over and they are faced with the real challenges of living abroad. We talk about their struggles to learn the language, their attempts to create a community, and how hard it can be to live in a foreign country when you don't particularly embrace trying new things. Thet both weign in on what it feels like to be the so-called "trailing spouse" vs. the (for lack of a better term) "leading spouse," how living in a foreign country has changed how they interact as a couple, and whether either of them would have moved to Rome if they had been single at the time (spoiler: their answers are very different from each other!)

A Conversation With Penguins Jesus SEA@PIT 11-05-22I'm joined on this unseasonably lovely Pittsburgh Saturday afternoon by the one and only Penguins Jesus. Originator of the nickname ‘Big Jeff Carter,' provider of regularly enjoyable, often hilarious tweets concerning the state of the Penguins hockey club, he takes us on a ride through some fun Penguins history, sharing recollections of: The in-game experience at the old Igloo / Civic Center, the early NHL playing career of one Sidney Patrick Crosby, and of course we discuss the 6-game backslide in which the Penguins find themselves.  The current losing streak, tied for the longest in the Mike Sullivan era, has been an early-season stretch in which the team has blown multiple goal leads - a handful of times - coming up totally empty but for one loser's point in a heartbreaking OT loss to Boston. Enjoy this satisfying chat with Penguins Jesus, seemingly a real human being but also …more than just a man. lolFollow us on Twitter @penspod, on Instagram at @flypenguinsfly, and subscribe to the Fly Penguins Fly YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3fw0IWt for video editions of selected conversations you'll hear on this podcast!Enjoy tonight's home game versus the Giant Mechanical Squid which swam here at unfathomable speeds, all the way from frigid waters off of the Olympic Coast, and of COURSE:LET'S GO PENS!!JEFF TAYLOR

Psalm 7 || David pleads for deliverance again, yet this time he doesn't link it to God's promises or love for him, instead he grounds it squarely in God's justice. How can an aspect of God that has the tendency to rub the 21st century Seattlite the wrong way actually be that which provides life for David resulting in praise?

Alex Cooley, Vice President and Co-Founder of Solstice, the first fully permitted production facility in Washington, was born down south in Georgia, but after moving to Washington at the young age of 12, he considers himself a "Seattlite" through and through. Like many in the industry, he was a long term cannabis user before today's strides in legalization, and he perfected his growing techniques as a hobby (to the benefit of his friends and family). After a stint working in hospitality in Germany, and at a loss as for his next career move, he was encouraged to put his well-developed cultivation skills to work. As one of the first public faces of cannabis in the early days of the industry, he was adamant about setting a gold standard for cannabis businesses even then, by sticking to the letter of the law and providing the highest level of professionalism and legitimacy. He shares his whole story with us, as well as a behind the scenes look at the rollout of I-502 and his role in facilitating cooperation with the Liquor Control Board. He also shares some of his reservations about some recently passed bills in WA to regulate cannabis, and tells us why he thinks this next year is "make-or-break" for Washington's legacy in the movement. Enjoy!
