Ep 66 - The Paranormal Psychic Medium Conversation with Sue Jacobucci

2026-10-1401:05:21

Text me what you think of today’s episode! A kid asks for a Ouija board, sees something she can’t explain, and years later ends up living the dream she casually announced at four years old: “I’m going to live in Salem.” That’s where Sue Jacobucci’s story starts, and it only gets stranger from there. Sue joins me for Spooky October to talk about how a lifelong love of the spooky and macabre grew into real paranormal investigation rooted in history, research, and lived experience across New Eng...

Ep 65 - The Listener Questions Conversation

2026-09-3049:46

Text me what you think of today’s episode!

I’m answering listener questions straight up, from why we named the show Assorted Conversations to how we’ve made it through five years of publishing without disappearing into podfade.

If you’ve ever wondered what it actually takes to start a podcast, keep it going, and grow into something ...

Ep 63 The Assorted Guest Gratitude Show

2026-09-0222:45

Text me what you think of today’s episode! A quick burst of inspiration can fade by Monday, so I wanted to do something more useful: connect the dots between the guests who moved me and the practical ways you can support what they’re building. This solo roundup from Assorted Conversations spotlights creators, coaches, and makers whose stories prove that joy is not frivolous, it’s fuel, and that momentum usually starts long before you feel “ready.” We talk about thinking bigger than the room ...

Ep. 62 - The Smokin Hoggz Conversation with Bill Gillespie

2026-08-1955:20

Text me what you think of today’s episode! One great rack of ribs can start a lifelong obsession, and Bill Gillespie proves it. We’re talking with the owner of Smokin Hoggs Barbecue, a highly decorated competitive barbecue pitmaster who’s cooked hundreds of contests across the U.S. and Canada, authored four barbecue cookbooks, and earned one of the sport’s biggest honors: induction into the Kansas City Barbecue Society Hall of Fame. Bill walks us from his early New England backyard experimen...
