About this listen
Today we’re sharing Sam’s episode from the How To! Podcast.
Sam is many things: journalist, podcaster, pop-culture obsessive, and a familiar voice from public radio. He’s also “quite possibly the world’s most hesitant homeowner.” Sam wants to fix up the house he recently bought, but three things are holding him back: First, he doesn’t have a clue where to start. Second, he’s not very handy. And third, he’s intimidated by the thought of talking with contractors (who might discover the first two things about him). In the first episode of a two-part series, host Carvell Wallace brings on home improvement expert and bestselling author Mercury Stardust (aka The Trans Handy Ma’am) to guide Sam in conquering his fears.
Mercury’s latest book is Safe and Sound: A Renter-Friendly Guide to Home Repair.
Ready for part 2? This conversation continues with How To Take Charge of Home Repair.
