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

Three's The Company

April 03, 2025 • Larry Carpman and Lindsay Purcell • Season 1 • Episode 24

We’re celebrating one year of Deep Dives and Light Laughs the best way we know how—by bringing it full circle with our very first podcast guests: the three co-owners of SlackTide Coffee Roasters.

In this anniversary episode, Larry and Lindsay sit back down with Zac and Max Carpman and Fletcher Souba to reflect on what’s changed (and what hasn’t) since we last talked: from launching new blends to opening their third location in Kingston, we dive into what it takes to build a brand, a business, and a community-centered coffee culture on the South Shore.

We also talk about:

What they’ve learned in the last year of business
How their roles have evolved (or stayed the same)
What goes into sourcing beans and where they get them from
Why Kingston was the right next move AND a scoop on what makes this location different

Whether you’re a diehard SlackTide fan or just love a story about friends building something from the ground up, this episode is full of insight, inspiration, and plenty of laughs as Lindsay tries desperately to dig up some dirt or scoops for the pod. We hope you enjoy listening to this full circle moment and raise a cup of coffee or tea with us and cheers to one year of Deep Dives & Light Laughs!
