BIG NEWS: Pie Break Goes Weekly!
Great news! You’re about to be getting a bunch more episodes of Pie Break. There’ll now be a new episode of the show available every week. Each month, a guest host will join me for 3-4 episodes about more general topics. These episodes will be a little more loose, topical, and experimental and they’ll feature some of your favorites from the past as well as some new faces. Some of these new episodes will only be available to patrons, but others will be free! The breakdown is simple. If you’re not a patron, you’ll get three free episodes of Pie Break per month. If you’re a patron at the $5 or higher level, you’ll get access four episodes of Pie Break per month If you’re at the $10 tier or higher, you’ll get five episodes per month! Simple as that! If you like these changes and want to see more like them, there’s never been a better time to support the show. Just a few dollars a month gets you a bunch of bonus content and helps this show keep the lights on. In the meantime, get excited for your first guest host: author and Magic Story writer K. Arsenault Rivera. Kyra is a fantastic writer and a good friend of mine and I’m thrilled to have her joining me throughout the month of August to cover everything from Internet Memes to Nic Cage. Tune in and enjoy. Thanks again for listening.

UNLOCKED: Finding Magic In Sobriety With Jack Walden
Jack and I both used to drink too much! Then we found Magic. This is a little bit of a departure from form for the show! We talk about our experiences finding Magic in the early days of sobriety and why protecting the things that bring you joy is important in recovery and in everyday life. While nothing terribly edgy gets talked about in this episode, we do play it pretty fast and loose discussing drinking, drugs, and addiction. If that's not your cup of tea, I'd recommend skipping this one!
