42 - Do Better Google (With Jeremy Alan Gould)
A Pickle Home Companion
A Pickle Home Companion is a heartfelt show featuring offbeat stories, unexpected interviews, conversations about music, and everyday life with “The Squids” (Kevin, Jared, Pete, & Brock) Each episode invites listeners into a space of reflection, curiosity, and connection—with a touch of humor and humanity. It's a place for the creatively restless and quietly weird, blending heart, humor, and appreciation for things in life. Each episode is like sitting on a porch with good company and stranger conversation. Come for the storytelling, stay for the tangents. Whether you’re tuning in on a walk, a drive, or a slow morning, you’re welcome here. Call or text “The Squid Hotline” at 1-985-28-SQUID!
