Brian Sirimaturos from the Tossing Salad Podcast joins us this week. We discuss Brian's wife Amy's breast cancer diagnosis, the decision to share details publicly, and how the cancer journey has impacted their lives. Brian also provides behind-the-scenes details on producing entertaining podcast episodes, dealing with online trolls, social media performer burnout, and why he broke up with a former podcast co-host on-air. Additional topics include working in unscripted TV, parenting challenges, Taylor Swift fandom, and more advice for aspiring podcasters.

A few months ago, we had the privilege of being guests on the People More Interesting Than Me podcast with host Michael Strumsky. In that interview, we got to know another person who was on the same "podcast hustle" we've been on, and doing a damn great job. Michael has a greater purpose with his show, however, and it's been inspiring to us to know what his show means to him, and his family. Additionally, he's a VERY interesting person just based on his profession alone, so we knew we had to connect with him for a Skiptown episode, too. Don't let Michael's self-deprecation and humility fool you--he's one of the most interesting people we've ever known!
