Another one to add to my ever-growing list of podcasts, The Heart is a (kind of) new show that's come out under the Radiotopia umbrella, aka the most creative, interesting and all-around awesome podcast peeps in town. Exploring intimacy and humanity, I'm only three episodes in

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine kicked off with birthday drinks for Vicki in Xico, above top, the new Mexican-themed bar that's where the Baggot Inn used to be. I stuck to classic salt-rimmed margaritas on the rocks, Ben tried a Tequila Old Fashioned and the birthday
