Milo Time
Home base for the Milo Time podcast on Instagram @milotimepodcast

In March 2022 cancer stole my 18 year old son Milo from me, my wife Alana, and my older son Max. We eventually began compiling a list of Things Milo Loved. We have opened the document to many people who knew and loved Milo and it now includes more than a thousand items. We figured that we could share the spirit of this list with an even wider audience by using it as the basis for a podcast about Milo. The result is this podcast, Milo Time. On this podcast, my super-talented co-host Lisa Cohen and I highlight some of Milo's favorite things; those things help us all keep our amazing Milo in our hearts, on our minds, and on the tips of our tongues. Special thanks to the artistic genius Lacie Foreht for the remarkable graphic cover art.
