Appearance on “Get Better” with Josh Elstro
Josh Elstro and I used to work together.
At our office, he was always tolerating my coffee break rants and stories. Apparently, my over-caffeinated nonsense never bothered him too much because now I get to call him my friend—and—he invited me to be a guest on his new podcast.
So, we sat down on his porch for a conversation.
I don’t want to just plug my own appearance on the show, however, because I highly recommend every episode so far. These are kind and honest conversations that Josh is having. Even in a world inundated with an endless supply of podcasts, he’s found a way to be both refreshing and relatable. And from all of his guests, I’ve gathered these great little snippets of advice on…well… simply existing.
Look, I would’ve listened anyways because I love Josh’s work, but I quickly found myself binging every available episode over the course of two days.
As for the time I get to spend on the show—it felt so genuinely good to discuss whatever the hell it is I do in life without any reservations or script. I walked away feeling truly heard.
While on the phone and reconnecting with someone recently, a voice I hadn’t heard in well over a decade poignantly said of our world: “Everyone’s fighting to be heard, but no one seems willing to listen.” Josh Elstro is one of the folks listening, though.
So thank you, Josh, sincerely. For the opportunity to talk and for putting this show together.
P.S. The wrestling video we reference in the episode can be seen here.

Make sure to stick around for the end of each episode where Josh shares some interesting stuff (I really appreciated his sentiments on kindness towards people vs. institutions at the end of Episode 1).
And if you’re still on the fence, here’s the trailer for the show:
Since 2007, the content of this website (and its former life as Queen City Discovery) has been a huge labor of love.
If you’ve enjoyed stories like The Ghost Ship, abandoned amusement parks, the Cincinnati Subway, Fading Ads, or others over the years—might you consider showing some support for future projects?
