Slice of Life
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ? Love the โ70s and โ80s? So do we. Slice of Life is your backstage pass to mixtapes, cartoons, and the beautiful chaos of growing up back then. Real stories. Big laughs. A delightful exploration of the human journey that seamlessly blends nostalgia, humor, and heartfelt storytelling. ABOUT THE SHOW Slice of Life isn't a production. It's a conversation. No celebrity guests. No elaborate segments. No weekly release schedule built around an algorithm. Just Jay and Rich sitting down and talking the way people used to talk... around a kitchen table, at a backyard cookout, over coffee that's gone a little cold. The topics often start in the 70s and 80s. Atari. Saturday morning cartoons. School lunches. Cassette tapes. Dodgeball. But that's the doorway, not the destination. What people are really listening for is harder to name and easier to feel. It's the laughter between two people who genuinely like each other. It's a story that unlocks a memory you hadn't thought about in years. It's the sensation of spending an hour with friends... even if you've never met them. That's why someone in Australia, Germany, South Africa, or the UK tunes in to a show about growing up in America. Not because they had the same experiences. Because they remember their own version of them. Listeners in 56 countries, one thing is clear. The nostalgia is the doorway. The real product is the feeling. And that's something no production budget can manufacture. Hosted by Jay and Rich... two lifelong friends with a 30-year bond... the show captures the essence of growing up in the โ70s and โ80s and reflects on the moments that shaped us from then to now. Theyโll make you feel right at home. ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ท๐ผ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐โ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฝ ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐, ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ. Jay brings a unique flair as an award-winning author, professional storyteller, and John Maxwell certified trainer. His experiences as a national speaker and devoted family man enrich every episode with insight and authenticity. Rich adds a twist as a Marketing Executive, Public Figure, author, and Social Media Influencer. With over 25 years in retail, marketing, and media, he brings practical wisdom, creativity, and just the right dose of levity. ๐ง Contact us: sliceoflifepodcastog@gmail.com
