Deep Dives & Light Laughs

Deep Dives & Light Laughs is a podcast about creating connection and how to build it. Hosted by Larry Carpman and Lindsay Purcell, this podcast started in the fall of 2023 after Lindsay continued to spark conversations with Larry at a popular coffee shop on the South Shore of Massachusetts, Slacktide Coffee Roasters. These regulars formed a friendship through easy conversations filled with deep dives and light laughs. Their goal is to use humor, stories, and mutual connections to explore getting to know people on a deeper level without asking the tired question, "So what do you do?" Listen to hear them interview some incredible people about what lights them up, how they cultivate connection, and IF that’s what they ended up doing for work...

Keeping Up with Christina

August 08, 2024 • Larry Carpman and Lindsay Purcell • Season 1 • Episode 8

Christina Skeldon, the face and publisher behind Mac Kid South Shore (and fellow supporter of local, small businesses!), joins Larry and Lindsay on the eighth episode of Deep Dives & Light Laughs. Originally from Long Island, Christina shares her story of how she got started with Mac Kid South Shore (Massachusetts) and became everyone's go-to source for family-friendly events and eats. We were thrilled to have her on the pod the first week of August to share her end-of-summer bucket list! Summer's not over yet, but in this episode, we remind you to soak up every last second of summer while simultaneously shouting out numerous local businesses for you to check out. Also in this episode, we learn that Christina owns and operates a private college counseling practice, in which she works with high school students to help them find the perfect college match and assists them during the entire application process. If you're a parent of teens, you'll want to hear what she has to say about applying to college.
