Hilary Pfeifer
What’s your name and where do you live?
Hilary Pfeifer. Portland, OR.
What are you usually doing when you listen to TBTL?
Wrapping up a day in my studio. TBTL has become my pre-happy hour hour!
If you could have any job or profession in the world, what would it be?
I am pretty happy with my career, but if I had to choose another, I'd be a swimming pool consultant. You know, the kind that travels around the world designing and testing swimming pools? That job.
What’s the nicest compliment anyone’s ever paid you?
I was at a city budget meeting once advocating for arts funding and questioned why the arts had to share a budget with the parks department, while the one line descriptor "golf" got the same amount of money. As we filed out of the building, I got a lot of comments about how it's a place where people network, but one person asked if I was looking for work because I had read the budget more thoroughly than most. (all the way to the end?) That made me feel smart!
What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid?
Among many other shows, educational to trashy, I know that Sesame Street probably influenced me the most with content like this.
What’s your secret shame food?
Pipcorn Heirloom Parmesan Truffle Crunchies. Sadly they are hard to find now for a reasonable price and other cheese puffs just aren't as tasty.
What’s your favorite TBTL audio drop?
"Let the fun begin!" (he sounds so bored, it makes me laugh every time.)
What piece of clothing have you owned the longest?
I can't wear them any more, but I have some adorable little red clogs on display in my home that were probably circa 1970 or so.
How do you describe TBTL to others?
Hanging out with friends who don't mind that you're working and not making eye contact!
What song would you choose to end an episode of TBTL
(We Like To) Do It with the Lights On by Islands
