Dec 20, 201900:45:03Tap to summarizeEnding this chapter is bittersweet, because we have all LOVED what we've created here at Simple, and yet there's so much goodness to come. This show has existed in some iteration since 2011 — a LONG time in podcast years. It's changed a lot, as has the podcast landscape, but Tsh has loved every minute of creating it. So… thank you. Truly. In this final episode, Tsh chats with her dear friend Katherine Willis Pershey about change, when to know it's time to say goodbye to a good thing, and what to do to still enjoy that thing you know you're gonna miss.

Transcribe →Hosting a Farm-to-Table Dinner + Nouns & Verbs |220
Nov 8, 201900:44:28Tap to summarizeChristine and her family host Kindred Dinners on their farm, where over a hundred people gather for a true farm-to-table feast with live music, locally-made beer, and beyond. She talks about what it's like to put on an event like this in your own space. Then Tsh shares two seemingly opposite ideas: ignoring the noun and focusing on the verb, and embracing the noun in order to accomplish the verb. It has nothing to do with grammar.
