This episode features a discussion with Jessica Yurkow, Monmouth County Public Library Librarian. I spent a lot of time at the library as a kid when my mother worked part time for the local Brooklyn Public Library branch, and so it holds a special place in my heart. Jess and I discuss the many features and aspects of the public library that folks might not know about including programming geared towards adults, free access to things like Rosetta Stone's language learning software, and more. As huge music fans, Jess and I also cover some of our favorite bands and genres, taking a nostalgic trip back to the late '90s and early '00s.

In Episode 036, I had a great discussion with my friend Jon Lamarsh about the challenges of losing weight and getting fit, as well as the mental struggles of dealing with body image issues. Body dysmorphia and self-image issues are stereotypically associated with women, but there are many men who battle with them as well--with Jon and I counting ourselves among their number. My hope with this episode is to shed some light on the issue, and to demonstrate through our conversation that it's a very real concern for any gender and a constant battle for those who are wired the same way.

In Episode 035 of the Mishmash Podcast, I sat down with Personal Trainer, Professional Wrestler, and Powerlifter, Bill Marchi. Bill is a multitalented guy with a diverse array of interests, including volunteering within the realm of animal rescue. He was kind enough to donate some of his time to the podcast and to discuss his work as a trainer, his background in fitness, his upcoming return to the ring, and his admirable work with rescues.
