New talk show to expose the writings of Northwest storytellers Jack Myers and Claire Harbutt ended up in the same group for University of Puget Sound’s preliminary Urban Plunge, picking weeds and getting familiar with the community, but they didn’t think much of it until Myers overheard Harbutt talking about wanting to start a podcast.

College is a time to experiment, push yourself and find out what works for you.  Food is no exception. Sometimes it’s even a necessity if you’re looking to eat.  I know that there have been many times when I’ve opened the fridge and thought, “Welp. This sucks,” because I have nothing to eat. Sometimes it’s true; you have a pack of fruit snacks and some ketchup, and there’s really nothing you can do with that.
