Read More:For this QuickLook I sought out folks that were doing something out of the ordinary in the wake of yesterday’s snowstorm. That meant shoveling sidewalks, snow blowing, and pushing someone’s car out of a rut didn’t count.
Read More:Self-discipline is tough enough for adults to get a handle on, so it’s especially impressive when a 15-year-old starts to make you feel like you could doing a lot more. In this segment, we have the pleasure of meeting Maggie Nichols, an elite gymnast training for the 2016 Olympic Games. She talks about grueling training
Read More:Sometimes “Hey! You with the hat!” is preferable to a verbal butchering of one’s name, and few people can attest to this sentiment better than musician and writer Teague Alexy. The San Francisco-born Roots/Americana artist was given a unique name by his parents, and he certainly has used his name to gain an equally unique perspective of the
Read More:Philosophy can be tough to listen to. It’s often dull, abstract, and pointless in everyday life. Luckily, however, there are philosophers out there that can actually create, explain, and apply good ideas. One such philosopher (and indeed- entrepreneur) is Laura Delavie. In this chapter of A Face Project, Laura gives listeners a mental tour of

Read More:One of our aims at A Face Project is community building. Spotlighting new and local businesses is an integral step in achieving this goal. We’re always on the lookout for awesome companies that bring great things to their communities. When we find one, we do indeed love to share.
Read More:Grounded, articulate, and approachable sadly are not words that people often use to describe visual artists. However, after a conversation with an artist such as the extremely talented Chicago native Xena Goldman, said people will be forced to reconsider their word choice.
Read More:Clarence’s story is one of trials and lessons learned. I can describe a little of it here, but this story deserves to be told whole. Clarence’s profound message about living life is one of the most inspiring things I’ve heard. Hopefully by watching & listening this story will remind you that attitude is at the
Read More:Beer- giver of confidence, facilitator of bad dancing, creator of regrettable voicemails and text messages. It’s so many things to so many people. It’s odd how rarely we think about how it got to our lips in the first place.
Read More:Coming of age stories often fall into certain clichés that leave listeners feeling like they just heard a stack of Hallmark cards read to them. But then there are those stories whose depth and reality go way beyond any afterschool special. One of those stories belongs to Ryan O’Leary. A self-ascribed “infinite traveler,” Ryan narrates

Read More:Tattoos- they can be beautiful and tasteful, or tacky and regrettable. But they’re always significant (at least at the time)- and permanent (unless you have the cash).

Read More:After checking out A Face Project a few times, you might have assumed that all of our features faces would be human. Not so. A good story is a good story, and certainly all species are welcome on this site.
Read More:Class warfare rages in the music world: the piano of chamber halls versus the pian-ee of honky tonks- the keytar of 80s glam stages versus…well actually nothing can compete with the keytar- and the violin of Royal Albert Hall versus the fiddle of Seamus’s barn. Why?!
Read More:Episode one. AFP’s very first episode! This somewhat silly take on a guy (or husband, in my case) shaving his beard was my way of diving into this project. I had ideas floating around my head of stories that I wanted to tell but it just never seemed like the right time to dive in.
