Hold My Cutter

Have you ever witnessed a phoenix rise from the ashes? Allegheny County Council Member Bethany Hallam's life story is the embodiment of that very transformation. From the grip of heroin addiction and the shadows of homelessness, she emerged to stand in the light of public service and advocacy. Our conversation peels back the layers of her journey, revealing the critical interplay of family support, personal choice, and the oft-overlooked privilege that navigates the murky waters of our correctional system. Bethany's tale is not just one of survival, but a testament to the human spirit's indomitable resilience.
Strap in as we navigate the intricate dynamics that define overcoming addiction, with our guest sharing the raw, unfiltered challenges she faced while incarcerated. The presence of drugs behind bars, the temptation to cheat drug tests, and the profound realization that recovery hinges on the individual's desire for change – these are the realities that Bethany lays bare. On a lighter note, we weave through the communal tapestry of sports fandom in Pittsburgh, celebrating the Pirates and the unbreakable bond with their city. Sports, as we discover, can be both a refuge and a rallying point for identity and community.
This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, moving from the despair of addiction to the highs of fandom, from the urgency of reform to the quirks of game day traditions. We probe into the unwavering loyalty of fans, dissect the nuanced world of sports business, and even muse on how the length of a pitcher's nails might influence their game. Join us for this compelling narrative ride, where Bethany Hallam's story is a beacon of hope, and a reminder of the shared human experiences that unite us all.
