On this episode of the podcast, Mara Davis and Leeat Cribbs conduct/co-produce a fantastic, superb, and very conversational interview with me thru Zoom. This is the second time on the show for both Mara and Leeat.

After our introductions, most of this episode focuses on the time all three of us spent at Camp Ramah in Wisconsin as campers and staff members during the late 1980's and 1990's. We do a mix of both Mara and Leeat asking me questions in connection with the time I spent at Ramah Wisconsin, how Ramah has changed us, our reminiscing on the Ramah Wisconsin days, and they asked me a few random questions.

We end the podcast with Mara and Leeat doing a sales pitch to recruit more people to join our Juice with Jeff Family of Interviewers and Co-Producers.
