Sophie Vershbow

Jesse and Youppi go for a walk in Prospect Park with Jennie Egerdie, the author of Frog And Toad Are Doing Their Best and the upcoming Oh, Bother: Winnie the Pooh is Befuddled, Too, to enjoy a beautiful spring day and talk about the Sesame Street atmosphere of Park Slope, trees growing in Brooklyn, monster trucks, and, of course, the biology of Mr. and Mrs. Met as relates to their old SportsCenter commercial. Please note that there are audio issues from about 5 minutes in until the halfway point -- Jesse's microphone was rubbing on his hoodie, but that got fixed. This is the Youppi Cut because that part stays in and you get the whole walk -- a cleaner listen is available on the full Casual Diehard podcast feed. Hosted on Acast.

Walking in Riverside Park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with Sophie Vershbow and her dog, Simon. It's a great park for dogs, a great place for walking, and little did we know, a great place to look across the river to New Jersey right before an earthquake, which struck less than an hour after we finished recording. That would have been some kind of conversation topic. As it is, a great time was had by all! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Laura is a lifelong New Yorker, and like Jesse a Brooklyn kid who moved to Astoria. This episode's walk goes from Make Believe Bakeshop to Astoria Park and back over toward the Triboro Bridge, talking about the city and sports and their creative pursuits. Youppi got several treats upon arriving home after the show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
