1. Would You Give Your Spouse Your Kidney? Nicole Christina 45:58

Would you give a kidney to your spouse? That’s the question that this week’s guest, Michael Small, answered.

We originally connected around his podcast I Couldn’t Throw it Out. Michael has performed in the NYC storytelling show “Tale”, and his plays have been presented in the “New York International Theater Festival” and “The HOWL Festival”. On each episode of I Couldn’t Throw It Out, Michael tells the story behind one of the treasures he has saved since he was 6 — including 15 years of interview tapes from his days as a reporter for People Magazine (Tupac being one of them!). It’s  a great, energetic conversation that spans his fondness for the late folk singer Melanie and his dedication to his immune-compromised wife. Enjoy this highly entertaining and tender episode.
