Soft Serve Podcast: We met in 1996 in a college poetry club, and got married in 2001. Even after all these years, we just like being around each other, talking, and laughing together. We’re not like a lot of those married couples (you know the ones) who morph into versions of the same person. Our unique interests and differences are what make us and the Soft Serve Podcast fun to listen to. Stomping Jen: Stomping Jen got her podcast name from her propensity to stomp her foot on the ground when she is frustrated or mad, usually at Sawtooth Frank. Despite her name, Stomping Jen is not an angry person. On the contrary, she is an eternal optimist and lover of life, art (observing and making), music, and connecting with people.  Stomping Jen’s big heart and fierce intelligence shine through in our conversations. To listen to her is to love her. Sawtooth Frank: Sawtooth Frank’s podcast name comes from a jagged front tooth (now covered with a cap), broken during a horrific childhood ice-skating accident.
