Puddy’s Podcast

Episode 22: Do Not Pass Go, Do Start a War?

It’s my birthday—and apparently Mercury is in retrograde, which may or may not explain the chaos. I’m unpacking what that actually means, spiraling (a little) about the possibility of war with Iran, and sharing wild strategy tips from a Monopoly world champion. Plus, how do you even sign up for that? Astrology, anxiety, and Boardwalk in one birthday episode.

Episode 21: Nunca Fácil

This week, I unpack getting diagnosed with depression — and the fun plot twist where my doctor keeps disappearing like it’s a medical soap opera. I also discuss my ongoing battle with learning Spanish (my brain said “no hablo functioning”) and go down a hopeful little rabbit hole about a possible cure for colds and coughs. It’s honest, a bit chaotic, and proof that healing — and rolling your R’s — is a journey.

Episode 20: Halftime Thoughts & Heartfelt Remembers

This week I’m breaking down the Super Bowl esperience from the food, to the commercials, the halftime show (yes, I have thoughts), and the lost bets that had me yelling at the TV. I also talk about how I survived Valentine’s Day with my dignity mostly intact, and we take a minute to show love to Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down and James Van Der Beek from Dawson's Creek. It’s laughs, frustration, and a little heart all in one episode.

Episode 19: Bad Bunny, Bad Cooking, Bad News

In this episode, I unpack the controversy swirling around Bad Bunny, jump into my latest attempt at discovering my cooking talents, and discuss the shocking story involving Savannah Guthrie’s mom that’s been making headlines. Pop culture, personal chaos, and serious news — all in one conversation.

Episode 18: Hating Snow and Remembering Catherine O’Hara

I absolutely hate the snow, endured yet another round of car chaos, marveled at a guy who somehow hit a hole-in-one with one arm, and took a moment to honor the incomparable Catherine O’Hara. Snow sucks, cars fail, miracles happen and Moira Rose, Let’s talk.

Episode 17: Are you there God? It's me, Puddy

In this episode, we have our first returning guest host. Together we share our personal thoughts on religion, questioning how true it feels to us and why some belief systems have faded over time. From there, the conversation naturally shifts to the political and civil unrest in the country, as we reflect on how belief, power, and uncertainty intersect in the world around us.

Episode 16: Good Stuff Still Happens

This episode is all about good news and good vibes. We’re shining a light on stories that inspire hope, from the Walk for Peace to animals making their way off endangered lists, and the people of Gander showing just how powerful kindness can be. It’s a feel-good conversation about what’s possible when individuals—and entire communities—step up and lead with heart.

Episode15: Planned Spontaneity

In this episode, there’s absolutely no plan—and that’s the plan. My first guest host of the year actualy joins me in studio and we just let the conversation go wherever it wants, bouncing from sports debates and questionable hot takes to the latest news stories that caught the nation's attention this week. Along the way, we dive into new passion projects, big ideas, small wins, and the nervousness that comes with trying something new. It’s part catch-up, part therapy session, and part what the hell is going on, all wrapped up in an unfiltered, yet fun conversation.

Epiosde 14: Cheers, Championships & Chaos

In this episode, I recap my New Year’s Eve shenanigans, celebrate winning my fantasy football league (yes, I’m still bragging), and then shift gears to talk about the chaos unfolding in Venezuela. This episode is part recap, part victory lap, and part real-world check-in. Welcome to the new year!

Episode 13: Goodbye 2025!

2025 was a lot! I’m looking back on the moments that shaped me, the lessons that helped me level up, and all the personal wins and loses. Along the way, I touch on some of the big stories that defined 2025 and how they reminded us of resilience, change, and possibility. Also, look back on those we have lost this year and the legacies they leave behind. A honest recap of where I’ve been, what I’ve learned, and how 2025 will stick with me. Here's to 2026!

Episode 12: RIP Rob Reiner and the Kennedy Center

After a quick recap of my week, I then get into the unfortunate and tragic death of Ron Reiner, Trump’s grossly insensitve reaction, and Trump’s attempt to rebrand the Kennedy Center as another flex of power over American culture. Although he is terrible, I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Episode 11: Lost in NY

In this episode, we get part two of my conversation with Green Man. Together we break down the life lessons wrestling taught us, reminisce about our favorite John Cena moments, and I tell the story of traveling into the city just to get absolutely jobbed by a cancelled event. Hustle, loyalty, respect… and disappointment.

Episode 10: Friends, Fathers, and the Marks They Leave

In this episode, Green Man joins the show and together we talk about the moments when friends transform into the family we rely on most. We share stories about our fathers. Their strengths, their flaws, and the lasting impact they’ve had on our lives. We close with a deep conversation on forgiveness, and how choosing to forgive can free us, strengthen our relationships, and reshape our personal journeys. It’s a warm, reflective discussion about connection, growth, and healing.

Episode 9: Gravy, Graveyards & Good Boys

In this episode, I recap my Thanksgiving and how I am still full. Then I cover the wild story of a woman found alive in a coffin, proving naps can go very wrong. I wrap it up with animal therapy, because nothing fixes emotional chaos like cuddling a turkey apparently. Sign me up!

Episode 8: Trump & Mamdani Break the Internet!

This week’s episode kicks off with a recap of my week. It started out at a fancy birthday dinner and ended and a fancy dinner for work. In between the delcicous food, I dive into the headline that had everyone online talking: the absolutely surreal Trump–Mamdani meeting at the White House. What happened, why it might have broken reality, and my very unqualified hot takes on the whole spectacal! I'm so full.
