After some tragic news a few weeks ago about a friend of Seth’s, he and Tsh unpack what it means to live in our current reality of isolation. So many people are lonely, hurting, or have lost their way, and the best and truest solution is community. Community is the conduit for hope. No one needs to be alone. Let’s fight for hope because it’s literal life or death for some of us. There is genuine sacramental beauty in reaching out to other people. <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://amzn.to/34vgvPN">Family Furnishings: Selected Stories</a>, by Alice Munro </li> <li> <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1632/9781541617162">Rest</a>, by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang </li> </ul> This is a public episode.

The Other Two Rs

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
