Description: In this episode I speak with my first love. We met as teenagers. He had a lot of swagger and I was smitten. As he says in the conversation, he doesn’t normally talk about his younger years, so this was a notable experience for him. (“My wife said I had to do this”). We delve into meeting at a high school basketball game, falling in love quickly, meth, and the impact we’ve had on each other’s lives. I also interview my friend Rachel about her memories of starry-eyed Miriam. A swoony one. What love! Speaking of... if you love this pod, my angel.
