Ep 1: Citgo Lots, Kidneys & The Emperor of Gladness (with Cheryl Rainford)
Welcome to the first episode of Doug Reads With Friends, the podcast I made so I have an excuse to call people I miss and pretend it’s for content. My first guest is Cheryl Rainford: high school friend, theater kid, VW Thing legend, and (plot twist) my kidney recipient. We talk The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong: found family, underdogs, Western Mass vibes, and why “JUICY” sweatpants are basically a setting detail.
Stick around: two weeks from now I’m talking with Josh Blue about The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker.
