  • Clowning with Sneff & Jeff
    Jun 11 2026

    We speak with Jeff about his experience in the world of clowns and clowning. This interview is not what we expected.

    Jeff is a multidisciplinary clown threading numerous areas of focus into a tapestry of zany, wonder-filled, and spontaneous foolery. He currently lives in southern Vermont, where he is beginning to teach clown with an Animist approach that subverts the narrative of clowning as self-discovery and inspires towards service to culture and bringing poetic beauty to the world. You can find him tending to yearly clown rituals, galavanting through nursing homes in red nose, or bending his hands towards craft and carpentry.

  • Yoga on Main
    Jun 11 2026

    There is a new addition to the wonderful Vermont village where I live - a yoga studio. A former competitive runner with a longtime yoga practice owns Yoga on Main. I am happy to share my conversation about yoga, mindfulness, and breath with Martine.

  • An Oasis for Men
    Oct 14 2025

    Frog Meadow Farm is a B&B, Inn, and Massage Oasis for Men in Southern VT.

    I discovered this wonderful spot many years ago when I lived in Boston, and often looking for a relaxing, welcoming getaway.

    Frog Meadow is changing ownership, and I wanted to be sure that it will retain the intent and vibe that love. Spoiler alert - it is transitioning into good hands.

    I am pleased to share my conversation with the founders of Frog Meadow, Dave Scott.
