(Bonus points if you get this episode title’s reference…) We all have to do it, and even many of the super-wealthy still choose to do it — clearly, it’s not just about bringing home a paycheck.

It goes far beyond holding a title of significance or having some surface form of influence. <ul class="ul1"><li class="li1">Seth: <a href="https://sethhaines.substack.com/">Newsletter</a> | <a href="http://www.sethhaines.com/">Website</a></li> <li class="li1">Tsh: <a href="https://tsh.substack.com/">Newsletter</a> | <a href="https://tshoxenreider.com/">Website</a></li> <li class="li2"><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drinks">Pick up a round of drinks</a> & help keep the show going</li> <li class="li1"><a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com/tsh-oxenreider/">Come to Italy with us</a>!</li> <li> <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1632/9781557258083">Shirt of Flame: A Year with St. Therese of Lisieux</a>, by Heather King </li> <li> "Against Decoration," by Mary Karr (reprinted in <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1632/9780142000182">Viper Rum</a>) </li> <li> <a href="https://www.disneyplus.com/series/wandavision/4SrN28ZjDLwH">WandaVision</a> on Disney+ </li> </ul> This is a public episode.

Living Right In It

Formative books, formative places. A Drink With a Friend is a seasonal conversation series with writer Tsh Oxenreider—friends, new and old, chatting about what's shaped them: the book they loved as a kid, the one forming them now, and a place, big or small, they've never forgotten. No agenda, no hot takes ...just the best kinds of conversations over a good drink with a friend. thecommon.place
