When not writing comedy, Maura has worked extensively with non-profits in diverse sectors including political action campaigns, international arts collectives and health and human services organizations.

His work has appeared in The New York Times, Mother Jones, GQ, and Wired, among other publications. He is a two-time Gerald Loeb Award winner and former reporter for the New York Times. He lives in New York with his wife, theater director Daisy Walker, and two sons. Gary's New book is Saving Main Street: Small Business in the Time of COVID-19 Journalist Rivlin (Katrina) presents an illuminating account of how several small businesses weathered the Covid-19 pandemic. Rivlin introduces readers to TJ Cusumano, owner of an Italian restaurant in Old Forge, Pa.; Glenda Shoemaker, who runs a card and gift shop in Tunkhannock, Pa.; and the Maloney family, founders of a chocolate business in New York City, among others. They all faced tough decisions, such as having to lay off employees and find ways to pay mortgages and vendors, as well as dealing with the pain of potentially losing their life's work. Rivlin shows his subjects' struggles to keep afloat, as when Cusumano established a “pop-up market” to sell food supplies before they spoiled, and when the Maloneys slashed prices in an attempt to boost sales. Rivlin also highlights problems that small businesses have faced for decades, which made them especially vulnerable when the pandemic hit. In particular, he writes of how large corporations crush small businesses by offering low prices their competitors can't, and how the Small Business Administration often enacts plans “rigged in favor of the large and dominant” (2020's Paycheck Protection Program among them). This one's full of insight and shrewd reporting.  Check out all things Jon Carroll Follow and Support Pete Coe Pete on YouTube Pete on Twitter Pete On Instagram Pete Personal FB page

We talk about this prolific career, which will be coming up on 50 years, and all the changes that have happened in drug and alcohol treatment. Some of the changes for good, some for ehhhhh, and some driven by technology. . One specific topic we talk about is "Medication Assisted Treatments." And, for lack of a better term, maybe stigmas in Recovery Communities that existed, or fundamental definitions of recovery, that people in the last four decades had to loosen their grip on, and Nick experienced this firsthand of how these became life saving medications, and wider paths to recovery for individuals. We do a kind of a deep dive on MAT, and I learned a lot, that was the point of this podcast to "learn in real time". So I hope you enjoy the discussion. Support the show

We had an amazing time at the Best Sunday Ever in Tunkhannock!

On June 8th, 2017 Randy Stair (also known as Andrew Blaze) would arrive for night shift at The Weis Market and kill 3 co-workers before committing suicide. The headlines about the shooting would die down quickly, in much less time than had even been spent on it's planning, drowned out by similar back to back events. Each time we seem to be left in the same place, asking the same questions; finding it nearly impossible to heal through the aftermath when it's almost never-ending.

On June 8th, 2017 Randy Stair (also known as Andrew Blaze) would arrive for night shift at The Weis Market and kill 3 co-workers before committing suicide. Within hours, police would search Randy's room and find the remnants of a trail, leading to one of the biggest digital footprints of massacre planning left behind. Not only would the small borough of Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania be shaken forever but the rest of the nation would be left shocked, wondering: how could it have been possible that nobody saw this coming?   Support the show & also get bonus episodes on Patreon _______________________________________ All music is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution.

Podcast 6 Split Rock Beer Fest!I am still spinning from this weekends Beer Fest and home brew contest at Split Rock Resort. My brother (silent Phil) and me sent in our entries for the competition. A Pumpkin Porter an Irish Red and a Cider. We also signed up to help judge and steward the competition. Some of the best BJCP Judges and very experience home brewers in our area were there. From 9 am until noon over 130 beers were judged. We were having a great time talking to other judges and home brewers. After the main judging was through, all that was left was the best of show. The top 5 judges all gathered at one table to pick the Best Of Show, of all the Gold Medal winners from each category. I was amazed and honored when Al Hazen, the competition organizer and last years Best of show winner announced my name for GOLD in Ciders! And then Best of Show! And to top it all off, I got a 3min. interview with Dave Houseman BJCP Grand Master 3. ( I’m not worthy) It truly was an honor to be a part of the competition. Many thanks to all.Recipe for the BOS Cider:5 gallons of pasteurized cider from Braces Orchards Pa. they tell me the cider is a blend of 7 to 10 varieties of apples. Pour into a fermenting bucket, add 1 pack of dry Nottingham yeast. Keep near 65 deg f. for one week. Then add a dash of yeast nutrient. Raise the temp to 70 deg. f for 7 days or until the hydrometer reads 1.000 or less. Transfer to a keg or bottles. Cheers!

Seasons Restaurant Podcast 4!On this episode I interview Bruce and Kathryn Arrowood , owners of Seasons Restaurant, in down town Tunkhannock Pa. The food is excellent and the beer selection is very well tailored to the menu. After the interview I had a crab cake sandwich with Cesar salad and a Franziskaner’s Hefeweizen. This style of wheat beer lends itself well to most salads, the aroma is fruity, like banana and bubblegum with some spicy notes of clove, all derived from the yeast. This is an excellent summer style of beer, very refreshing and flavorful. Hefeweizen is similar to a Belgian witbier. The grains are the same but the witbier usually has spices, such as orange peel, coriander and others. An excellent example is Victory’s WhirlwindWit.Cheers!
