    Jan 16 2025

    The Valley Girls are back for our third season! We're starting off this season talking with Debbie Gioquindo, aka The Hudson Valley Wine Goddess, about all things Hudson Valley wine, cider, and spirits! Debbie calls the Hudson Valley “a craft beverage mecca” with “something for everybody,” and gives us her best advice about enjoying wine. (Spoiler alert: it’s “drink what you like.” )

  • 30. Close Up on a Small Business: David Leifer Photography
    Nov 21 2024

    Following our fantastic chat in our last episode about supporting small, local businesses, this week we are talking to David Leifer from David Leifer Photography. We chatted about skinny posing, the importance of lighting, and the ineffability of photography as an art. Jenny and David get technical about file formats and we have a philosophical conversation about whether cameras enhance or distract from our experience of the moment. Shout-outs to past guests Bentley Potter and our favorite baker Anrika Martin.
