About this Podcast:

20 Year Timeout is a podcast about rediscovery of people, memories, and the twists life takes. Each episode, I reconnect with someone I lost touch with sometimes 20 years ago, sometimes just last week. A childhood friend, an old bandmate, someone who quietly disappeared from your life. We pick up the thread, press unpause, and see where the story goes. It’s unscripted, funny, reflective, and full of unexpected insight. If you’ve ever wondered what happened to that person and what reconnecting can reveal about creativity, culture, and who we’ve become, hit play. 🎙️ Real conversations. Imperfect memories. Honest reconnections.
