This week I am on vacation so I decided to bring you a special episode, courtesy of Allison Sheridan our guest from episode 14 who let me use audio from her Chit Chat Across the Pond podcast episode 463. Instead of interviewing a guest, this week's episode is a reenactment of a letter written by Allison's father while he was caught in a Typhoon off the island of Okinawa in japan during World War II. This was September 16th 1945 and he was a Chief Engineer aboard an amphibious ship there. For more details about this story, photos, and the transcript of the letter see Allison's original blogpost https://www.podfeet.com/blog/2016/11/ccatp-463-typhoon/

Enjoy!

Maggie was born in the Bronx to a rough childhood. She fled to LA to learn to act and find herself, which she started through yoga and meditation. We talked about how you become invisible as an older woman, and why its so hard to let go of toxic people. Maggie says when you give someone advice, you’re the one who needs to hear it, and she does just that! We end with a great tale about meeting a surprise shaman, but you’ll just have to listen to find out what exactly a cybercherry is!

This month we get to talk to Allison Sheridan, a former engineer turned techie and podcaster extraordinaire. She tells us about growing up spending her vacations on a sailboat, and how excited she got when the first computer arrived at her job. She has been hooked on tech ever since; in fact Allison was among the first podcasters and loves to teach people about tech to this day! She tells us tales of an eclipse chasing cruise, and the time she met Rod Roddenberry who is a fan of her show. We also discuss the feeling of being a grandparent, which gives me something new to look forward to. Slip on your 3D glasses and enjoy this month’s episode of SYGNT!
