About the podcast
Formative books, formative places. A Drink With a Friend is a seasonal conversation series with writer Tsh Oxenreider—friends, new and old, chatting about what's shaped them: the book they loved as a kid, the one forming them now, and a few places, big or small, they've never forgotten. No agenda, no hot takes ...just the best kinds of conversations over a good drink with a friend.

Ordinary places often mean the most to us as children, unbeknownst to the adults around them. Tsh has the pleasure of talking once more to one of the most repeated guest requests: her daughter, Tatum! In this one, Tate shares a childhood book she recently re-read, as well as a non-fiction class assignment that blew her socks off. She also shares why a home they only lived in for a few years meant so much to her, plus a world-renowned historic site that has a place in her new family’s history.

And live for a few of you! It’s been awhile, but I’m dusting off the podcast feed and returning to a new season of Drink. I’m back to asking friends about two books—one from their childhood, one recent—that’s shaped them in some way, but I’m also asking them about something else: what about places? What’s one place from childhood and one more recent that’s formed them, even in a small way, into who they are today?
In this inaugural “dusting off” episode, I’m answering my own questions—and also explaining a bit of where I’ve been (I promise, it’s not that interesting).

Tsh chats with her in-real-life local friend Rick Reynolds, whom she first got to know on one of her pilgrimages (he and his wife have since been on three with her!). Rick is a marriage therapist specializing in infidelity, so they get into what really holds marriages together, why community matters so much to ALL of us, what it means to affair-proof your relationship, how to heal from betrayals, and where hope is truly found in all of it. (Sounds like a potential downer, but it's actually a super encouraging conversation!)
