Some topics my friends know I can talk about for hours:

• How planning a garden is like planning a podcast production schedule.

• Relatedly, why we should all stop using peat moss in our gardens.

• The scandal surrounding the Chicks’ 2003 comments about the Iraq War and President George W. Bush.

• The benefits of powerlifting even if you think you’re “not an athlete.”

• Affordable skincare products & the importance of sunscreen.
