  • Super podcast

    Like a modern day Studs Turkel exploration. Younger me would have loved this so much to help think about a bigger range of professions.

  • Love it!!!

    What a surprise this podcast has been to my feed! From the first episode What it’s like to be a Beer Vendor, I have enjoyed hearing about different professions. I wish I had the experience of being in the stands and ordering a drink from a friend. Who knew a beer vendor made such lasting friendships at a ball game? Who knew I would tear up at the end of that episode? more

  • Fascinating!

    I absolutely love this podcast! I’ve always loved hearing about people and the jobs they work, and this is incredibly insightful into jobs that many people may not know much about. The casual, conversational style of this show is great, too.

    Me. Heath is an astute, perceptive, comprehensive, and highly skilled interviewer who asks every question I would have asked, leaving no stone unturned. By the time the interview ends I feel satisfied that I have a good grasp of what a particular endeavor or career entails. more
