46. Going Dutch

This episode of Interstates & Heartbreak comes to you from the home of the one and only Red Light District as I interview college friend and current Amsterdam resident Julie Lee. Julie and I reminisce on the UCLA shenanigans that bonded us, including questionable fake IDs and adult diapers, and reflect on how vastly our college personas differed from the expectations and standards our immigrant parents held for us. We then dive into Julie’s current relationship, and how a Facebook DM slide evolved into a loving and successful cohabitation abroad.

44. The Samantha To My Carrie

This week I interview the Samantha to my (reluctant) Carrie – my longtime friend Ari Schechter! We dive into the origin behind our designated Sex and the City classifications, the characteristics we eschew (bad outfits, worse taste in men) and those we embrace (creative expression and confidence). Ari also describes her experience moving to the East Coat and adjusting from bros in San Diego to bureaucrats in Albany – and how she eventually avoided both during her search for her current partner.
