The Niners Podcast
The Niners Podcast (not about football) explores stories about people living on the cusp of something new. For the next 99 weeks, starting Sept 29th, I'll be dropping interviews of people who are 9-months pregnant, 9 years old, 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89, and anyone in their nineties. I'm curious to learn about hopes, dreams, fears, and advice that folks have to share, folks who are living on the edge of a decade, of a century, or about to bring a new life onto the planet.
Follow to hear stories from the mundane to the extraordinary and all places in-between.
