Jared Edwards

What’s your name and where do you live?
Jared Edwards. Sacramento, CA.

What are you usually doing when you listen to TBTL?
Puttering around in the kitchen, trying to fix dinner, and wondering WWAD (what would Andrew do?)

If you could have any job or profession in the world, what would it be?
I think it would be beyond rewarding to manage a large public garden space, while focusing on community engagement and education on environmental science.

What’s the nicest compliment anyone’s ever paid you?
“You look too young to be as smart as you are,” to which I reply, “Thanks because both my body and brain feel old.”

What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid?
Anything that was playing on PBS, mainly Reading Rainbow, Carmen San Diego, and Wishbone.

What’s your secret shame food?
Slices of lunch meat rolled up in tortillas, deep fried, coated in that awful powdered parmesan cheese, and dipped in something akin to an avocado crema. I have my grandma to thank for this one.

What’s your favorite TBTL audio drop?
“Mmm mmm mmm, I’m flying in hot for that hottie.”

What piece of clothing have you owned the longest?
I have a My Chemical Romance tour hoodie from middle school. it's either that or a train conductor uniform my mom used to dress me in as an infant.

How do you describe TBTL to others?
“It's like a really compelling radio show, except with very few callers, even fewer commercial breaks, and only sometimes do they actually get to the top stories. Maybe it's more like eavesdropping on two guys at a bar…”

What song would you choose to end an episode of TBTL?
Steal My Sunshine by LEN. It's impossible for me to be in a bad mood after listening.
