Fire, No Heat, and No Chill

Fit For Radio is a podcast built around people who overcome the odds — and host Drew Tydeman has made a career out of pulling those stories out of others. But after everything that's happened to him lately, his old buddy Tac might argue it's time Drew took a seat on the other side of the mic.The two longtime friends sit down for a long-overdue catch-up episode, getting the audience up to speed on where Fit For Radio has been and where it's headed. It's loose, it's candid, and it feels exactly like what it is — two old friends with a lot to talk about.Then the stories start coming out.Drew's dishwasher caught fire. His furnace was deemed a hazard and shut off in the middle of sub-freezing temperatures — during an NFL playoff game, no less. At this point, which is actually the greater tragedy? It's genuinely hard to say. And if that wasn't enough, a house fire broke out and began threatening an entire forest of towering 100-foot Douglas firs. Thankfully, a rapid response from the fire department saved the trees — and probably a lot more than that.Drew normally sits across from people who have faced serious adversity and come out the other side. Lately, he might just be earning his own episode.
