Welcome to a no-holds-barred peek behind the produce at the farmers market! In this episode, I’m sharing a few annoying and exhausting moments I’ve experienced recently as a market director. From vendors needing constant attention to customer questions that make you do a double take, it’s been a wild ride—and I’m here to tell you all about it.

Get ready for a candid, slightly chaotic, and totally relatable collection of stories that will make you laugh, sigh, and maybe even clutch your clipboard in solidarity. Whether you’re part of the market world or just love a good behind-the-scenes rant, this episode reminds us all that sometimes, you just can’t make this market sh*t up.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
