Assorted Conversations
Assorted Conversations is an interview podcast featuring inspiring stories from everyday people doing extraordinary things. Every other Wednesday, host Helen sits down with guests who are pursuing meaningful passions, exploring unusual hobbies, building creative careers, overcoming challenges, and turning long-held dreams into reality.
Each episode is a warm, candid conversation about the choices, setbacks, lessons, and moments of courage behind a personal journey. Come for the laughter and fascinating stories; leave with a fresh perspective and inspiration to begin—or keep pursuing—your own path.

In part one of the Assorted Gifts series, Helen and Maureen revisit memorable guests and the lessons they shared about opportunity, courage, creativity, preparation, and following a passion.
We've been fortunate to talk to some pretty amazing people this year! Not only did we learn about their passions, in sharing their story, each guest taught us a little lesson to take with us.
We are stepping away from the mic over the holidays, so enjoy an abbreviated episode reflecting back on specific guests and the things we learned from hearing their stories, which we consider gifts in themselves:
“If you build it, they will come.” - Rua Fay, Film Blogger
“Vocational skill + passion = MORE” - Josh O’Connell, Gambling Writer
“Every opportunity is gold” - Savannah Whitten, Actor
“Always look forward and let passion be your guide” - Emma Halloran, Graphic Novelist
“Preserve the past for the future” - Christy Parrish, Ghost Tour Manager
