Podcasting Incidents
It’s podcast week here in the Hahn Haus! But not my own. I’m on two different shows this week: The Downtowner and Dave Hill’s Podcasting Incident.
The War on Cars
With their new podcast The War on Cars, hosts Doug Gordon, Aaron Naparstek and Sarah Goodyear had me at “Hello.”
The Real Cost of Jeans (and the Scourge of Stretch)
When I invest in clothing, I think more and more about sustainability. It reminds me of a belief I have about food: the further you take it from its natural state, the weirder it gets and the worse it is for you. As I see it, the same is true for clothing.
Podcast Ep. 45: Ownership vs. Access
In this episode of my podcast, I ponder the question: is it better to own or to rent? Each option has its benefits and bummers. But as I get older, having been a guest and keen observer of many owners over the decades, I’m less attracted to the idea of “ownership” and more interested in traveling light as the renter I’ve always been.
Who Gets to Call Themselves ‘Clevelanders’?
If you live in Lakewood, Parma or Cleveland Heights, are you a Clevelander?
After recording our first episode of The Downtowner, my co-host Amy and I got into it with our guest, historian Mark Souther, about what is considered “Cleveland” in our first bonus episode of the podcast.
A Brand New Podcast About Downtown Cleveland
Some months ago, I got a pitch from my friend Amy Eddings, host of Morning Edition here on WCPN ideastream, Cleveland’s NPR station. She wanted to do a podcast with me. But first, a little backstory…
Episode 44: A First Suit, My Morning Ritual & Those Damn Parking Lots
I jumped back onto the saddle this week after a brief but fantastic trip to Palm Beach, Florida last weekend. I have a client down there who showed me the ropes in their little universe both in Palm Beach and in the charming town of Lake Worth.
Episode 43: Suits for Suits’ Sake and Conscientious Living
I’ve said it 1,000 times, and I’ll say it again: Nothing makes a man look better than a well-tailored suit. A recent article in the Washington Post mused about the “death” of the power suit, making me dread yet another excuse for men to frump out and be as casual as humanly possible. The simple truth is that no other garment in menswear elevates any man (fit or fat) like a well-tailored suit. Period.
And speaking of elevating every man…
Podcast Episode 42: Hello, Cleveland
This episode is about a fabulous Ethiopian restaurant I discovered in Cleveland, my new (old) Harris Tweed and the joys and challenges of furnishing my new apartment.
Ep. 41: When Returning/Exchanging a Purchase Is a Pain in the Ass
When someone opens an online store, the return/exchange process should be painless. In this episode, I talk about a recent online shopping experience that drove me nuts. I also give a brief update on the Cleveland Experiment.
