Welcome to 2026!  Can you believe the New Year is upon us?  To kick things off, we thought we would offer a special tribute episode in honor of our dad Dwight Alford, aka The Badger.  In this episode, we tell some fun stories about underwear, (yes, the theme continues), including our favorite story about the time he got locked out of his house in his underwear.  That is a real wildlife thriller, for sure!  You won’t want to miss it and stay tuned for more fun episodes in 2026!

As we get ready for Thanksgiving, I don’t think we could have a better guest on the show than Stephanie Cotsirilos, actor, author, lawyer and just a lovely person with so many amazing stories to tell.  While Stephanie says the themes underlying her stories are assimilation, displacement and injustice, I think if you look closely enough you will also hear something else.  You will see she is profoundly grateful for her family, her life and her amazing education that took her from Brown to Broadway and beyond!
As you sit down to eat with family, loved ones or friends, take a minute to reflect on the universal truths that we are more alike than we are different and that as a part of the human family, we all deserve justice and equality.  I’m so proud of this episode and our conversation with Stephanie.  We know you will enjoy it and please make sure to support her by getting your own copy of her amazing book, My Xanthi.
