Earful of Erin Erin Earful of Erin is basically my newsletter with a laugh track. Part caregiving, part midlife plot twist, part "how did we get here?" tangents, the podcast explores resilience, relationships, personal growth, and the beautifully messy reality of being human. Through personal stories, hard-won lessons, humor, and the occasional rant, listeners are reminded that they are not the only ones trying to navigate life's challenges without a map. The Brass Figlagee Jean Shepherd A mostly-every-night earful of the genius that was actor, writer, satirist, and humorist Jean Shepherd. Shep (as both he and his fans called him) is very hard to tie down to one or two labels. He was one of the great media talents from the 50s to the 80s, very much like the Mark Twain of his time, and most nights he could be heard on the radio waxing eloquent, his gift for insight and articulation wrapped up in what seemed like comedic nostalgia, fascinating and inspiring generations. His stories work on so many levels. His characters are vivid, unforgettable, and oddly likable. Shep had an uncanny mastery of the narrative form: enticing the listener with his nightly premise, careening down one tangent to the next, eliciting knowing laughs along the way, and often leaving one with a warm sense of the fondness the artist felt for his past. And somehow, more often than not, one might sense a deeper meaning, a hidden message in all the lighthearted romps. This podcast is an attempt
