This show is sponsored by Honey Road, my favorite restaurant in all of Vermont

serving Eastern Mediterranean small plates at the corner of Church and Maine in

downtown Burlington. It's pretty much the only place in Vermont where you can find

grilled octopus with lemon caper aioli and fennel sea salt crackers or maybe baby

beats with ricotta and sumac honey and walnuts.

It's friendly, it's super classy, you'll love it.

Now on to the show.

Today I bring you the fifth episode of Problems, a radio drama about Pam and Joel, two old friends

who support each other through their problems.

In this episode, Joel just come back from a long vacation in British Columbia,

where he had a lovely time mountain biking with friends,

but there were some problems. Welcome.

It's really good to see you. It's been so long because it seems like you...

It sort of seems like you were on vacation forever.

I mean I kind of was. I was gone for almost a month like four weeks really.

Yeah.

Geez. That must's been so nice.

It was honestly it was you know I'm

feel lucky to have been able to do it for sure. Where were you exactly? So the first

two weeks I was with the family we were on a beautiful island out in British

Columbia called Hornby Island and then we were in Whistler.

They went home.
