Extraordinary Joe
Extraordinary Joe is a podcast about exceptional coffee shops and the people who built them. Every episode, host Jeremy Lyman, co-founder of Birch Coffee, sits down with the founders behind some of the most remarkable coffee shops in the world. These are the people who bet on themselves and built something their communities likely can't imagine living without. Part coffee conversation, part founder story, part love letter to the places that make us feel at home.
New episodes will air the first 3 Fridays of each month!
