On today’s show, we celebrate the art, history, and heart of homemade pie with award-winning pie maker and pie expert Beth Howard, founder of The World Needs More Pie, as she shares why pie is more than dessert—it’s a tradition that brings people together. We’ll also talk with Adam Klappholz, Head of Product at Zelle, about the “avoidance economy” and why Americans—especially younger generations—are struggling with the social challenges of splitting bills, repaying friends, and having money conversations. Plus, we explore the latest stories making headlines, including summer cocktails featuring mosquito-repelling grapefruit compounds, the travel boom to the ancient city of Troy, charcuterie board tips, and a shocking alleged estate fraud case.
