On this episode of the podcast, Maia (Young) Bauman conducts and co-produces a fantastic and really fun audio interview with me filled with quite a bit of two-way conversation throughout the interview. There were a bunch of things that Sarah and I talked about during this audio interview including:
1. During both the first 20 or minutes of the podcast and also during the last 25 minutes of the podcast; Maia and I talk about some memories from our growing up in Des Moines, and we also share our memories, experiences, favorite moments, etc... from our years together at Crossroads Park Elementary, Indian Hills Jr. High, and Valley High School in West Des Moines, Iowa, and we also touch on friendships during these parts of the interview.
2. Between the 25 minute mark and the 1 hour 5 minute mark of the podcast; we talk about my intense interest and passion for Fred Rogers o.b.m. and the TV show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood", and Maia also shares her thoughts on Mister Rogers and "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood". And I also bring up the movie "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" that is largely based on Fred Rogers' life and "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" during this portion of the podcast.
3. Between the 1 hour 5 minute mark and the 1 hour 10 minute mark, I talk with Maia about how my practicing Judaism plays a very important role in my life, specifically about how I say and take seriously daily prayers and blessings in accordance with Jewish Law and the teachings of Judaism.
4. I do the following a sample of my voice impersonations for Maia at three separate points during the podcast with the following voices: Fat Albert, Mushmouth, Michael Buffer (the "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" announcer), Tom Bodett, Fred Rogers o.b.m., Mr. McFeely, King Friday, Queen Sara Saturday, X the Owl, Henrietta Pussycat, Daniel Tiger, Lady Elaine Fairchilde, Harriet Elizabeth Cow, Coach Bill Coldiron o.b.m., and Brian Dean Christensen.
This interview was recorded on Friday December 11, 2020 and it definitely is a FEATURE LENGTH podcast as it runs 1 hour and 39 minutes (99 minutes). As is the case with all of the "The Juice with Jeff" podcasts, funding for this podcast is provided by Realty With Ahart and RandomKid. Enjoy!
