On this episode of the podcast Karen Christiansen, Sophie Homonoff, Alison Hoeman, and Inbal Mazar conduct/co-produce a fantastic, really fun, and conversational interview with me In Person at Sophie's house. This is Karen's fifth time, Sophie's sixth time, Alison's fourth time, and Inbal's third time on the show.
Here are the questions that I was asked during this interview:
Inbal: What is your favorite childhood memory?
Alison: You have the ability to time travel, what era of time would you go to and what piece of advice you’d give yourself?
Karen: Tell us about your dogs. Have you always had dogs as pets and how do you interact with them?
Do you listen to other podcasts and if so, which ones do you listen to?
Do you have to do all of your food prep for the weekly Shabbat in advance and how does it work with the rules? How do you know when to begin and end Shabbat every week? What is your routine like for Shabbat on Friday nights and Saturdays during the day?
Inbal: How do you want to be remembered by others?
Karen: Do you still your long walks or any other exercise on a regular basis?
Your neighborhood has some serious hills, do people slide down those hills?
You went to Springbrook State Park and Ledges State Park back in the fall, how was that? Tell us more about Springbrook.

If you could go back to high school today, would you want to do that?
