Description
A Pickle Home Companion is a heartfelt show featuring offbeat stories, unexpected interviews, conversations about music, and everyday life with “The Squids” (Kevin, Jared, Pete, & Brock) Each episode invites listeners into a space of reflection, curiosity, and connection—with a touch of humor and humanity. It's a place for the creatively restless and quietly weird, blending heart, humor, and appreciation for things in life. Each episode is like sitting on a porch with good company and stranger conversation. Come for the storytelling, stay for the tangents.

This special guest filled episode was recorded at the end of Episode 50 after we wrapped things up with Jason. In true APHC fashion, chaos reigns. Jared discovers a soundboard, Pete was a celebrity at a Switchfoot show, they visit the MuteMath corner, Brock jumps in with Amish facts, Todd wanders the woods at night with a chainsaw, Scott keeps trying to leave and fails miserably. Caleb joins in, Kevin & Pete talk about "Record store guy", naturally there's Extreme Days and Carman nonsense. Somehow Power Team comes up, and Sarah joins in as they talk about introducing significant others to Five Iron Frenzy. It's utter nonsense, but it was a fun late night hang. It's "Episode 50 Too"!
