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...

Deep Dives & Light Laughs

Wicked? No, nice.

October 31, 2024 • Larry Carpman and Lindsay Purcell • Season 1 • Episode 14

Julia Driscoll and Grace Moore, best friends originally from Norwell, MA, and Co-Founders of the Wicked Women Maker's Market ("WWMM"), join Larry and Lindsay on the fourteenth episode of Deep Dives & Light Laughs. The WWMM is a holiday fair supporting South Shore artisans founded by our guests in 2019!

What began with 12 artists at Grace’s home has become a major community event, now attracting over 1,500 shoppers. The 6th annual market will feature 45 local makers at the Marshfield Fairgrounds on November 30.

With a deep passion for the arts, Julia and Grace share the story of how they founded WWMM as a way to create opportunities for local artists and foster meaningful connections within their community. Listen to hear them share what's different at this year's market, the types of artisans you can expect to find there, and how they balance their own creative pursuits as artists of different mediums (Julia: sewing, painting, and curating vintage fashion through her brand, Odd Cow and Grace: creating funky accessories under her brand, Tacky Brand) while also working at the North River Arts Society (Julia!) and Beach Plum Floral (Grace!).
