  3. Ep 8: I Lived in a Tree

    This is the first episode from the final recording session of the series. It takes us a while to get started since it has been so long since we last talked. But, once the conversation gets going, it really starts to flow. I hope you enjoy it.

  4. Ep 7: The Longest Three Months

    This show's entire content comes from the three long interviews that I did with my sister. Episodes 1-6, and this episode #7, all come from our first two interviews that we did two years ago.
