Ep. 20 - The Scale Model Builder Conversation with Glenn Williams
12/15/21 • 37 min
This week’s conversation is with guest Glenn Williams, who recreates moments in time through his passion for scale model building. Focusing on, but not limited to model trains, his precision and attention to detail within the tiny scenes he creates provides the casual observer with much to take in, while evoking memories and stories from those who have actually been to the transit areas his scenes depict. His 1:87 work has been displayed in Chicago and San Francisco and he exhibits at major train shows across the country.
Glenn shares how he got involved with scale model building, some details about his creative building processes, what’s changed within his passion from when he first got started, some of the building innovations he’s experimenting with and how discovering organizations of like-minded scale model builders has helped him expand his skill and opened up new doors of opportunity.

Ep. 19 - The Stand Up Conversation with Stephanie Peters
This week’s guest, comedian Stephanie Peters, entered comedy at the age of 40 and hasn’t looked back! Prior to discovering comedy as her calling, she studied and trained as a jazz vocalist at The Berklee School of Music in Boston, yet a serious bout of stage fright cut her music career short - so how did she ever manage to perform comedy?! Tune in to find out!
Winner of the Marshall's Women in Comedy festival, which crowned her one of the top "new" female comics in the country, Stephanie performed as an opening act for one of her comedy idols, Joan Rivers. She’s also worked with Denis Leary, DL Hughley, Colin Quinn, John Pinette and Jackie Mason among others.
Stephanie shares how her comedy career took off, some harsh realities of the business she experienced and discusses when doors of opportunities closed, how she found other doors and even a few windows opened in their place. Her shoot-from-the-hip opinions and hysterical antics will have you laughing along with us as she shares her journey and the many twists and turns she’s navigated.
