This uncharacteristically short episode is our final of May, in an effort to practice what we preach when it comes to taking care of yourselves first.

This week on The Average Bear Podcast, we are joined by Sarah Steinhorn - an insanely talented aerial acrobat in the NYC area. We learn about her favorite apparatus, how she began her aerial journey, and overcoming a fear of falling. Of course, it's not always all business, so there are some talks about performance mishaps and our favorite fictional universes.  *FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE* http://www.instagram.com/averagebearpodcast http://www.theaveragebearpodcast.com *FOLLOW SARAH* http://www.instagram.com/steinhorn92 * TO CHECK OUT THE GYMS AND BUSINESSES DISCUSSED THIS EPISODE*  https://www.fiveacrefarms.com/ https://www.aerialartsnyc.com/ https://www.slipperroom.com/ https://bodyandpole.com/

Megan has returned for a palette cleansing, feel good episode. We discuss Armie Hammer, unconventional celebrity crushes, and alter egos - but with all the rambling that comes with this show we also find our way into the territory of aging out of teenager-dom, and whether or not we all see colors the same.    *FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE OF US IN YOUR LIFE*   http://www.instagram.com/averagebearpodcast  http://www.theaveragebearpodcast.com

This week on The Average Bear Podcast we are joined by radio host, podcaster, and disappointed Cowboys fan - Sterling Daniels.
