The Drinking Partners start their latest podcast with a call for listeners’ favorite moments and an admission that no one can figure out Day’s sound effects. What they do know is how important their guests are: Big Brothers Big Sisters community affairs officer Tom Baker and program associate Devon Taliaferro. With a message of consistency, care, and concern, Tom and Devon share how easy, accessible, and significant it is to become a mentor as they speak on their own experiences with the program. While Day talks about his personal history as a Little Brother, Ed jumps in with jokes, and the interview is a mixture of laughter and learning. Where else but in the Drinking Partners studio can you eat a Hennessy cupcake (courtesy of Devon and her sister) as you discuss the positive impacts of mentoring, for both adults and children? A compelling and motivating episode, filled with ideas on how to volunteer. As Devon asks, “Why are you not mentoring?” To learn more about Big Brothers Big Sisters Pittsburgh, visit https://www.bbbspgh.org.
