Slice of Life

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲?
Love the ’70s and ’80s? So do we. Slice of Life is your backstage pass to mixtapes, cartoons, and the beautiful chaos of growing up back then. Real stories. Big laughs. A delightful exploration of the human journey that seamlessly blends nostalgia, humor, and heartfelt storytelling.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Slice of Life isn't a production. It's a conversation.

No celebrity guests. No elaborate segments. No weekly release schedule built around an algorithm.

Just Jay and Rich sitting down and talking the way people used to talk... around a kitchen table, at a backyard cookout, over coffee that's gone a little cold.

The topics often start in the 70s and 80s. Atari. Saturday morning cartoons. School lunches. Cassette tapes. Dodgeball.

But that's the doorway, not the destination.

What people are really listening for is harder to name and easier to feel. It's the laughter between two people who genuinely like each other. It's a story that unlocks a memory you hadn't thought about in years. It's the sensation of spending an hour with friends... even if you've never met them.

That's why someone in Australia, Germany, South Africa, or the UK tunes in to a show about growing up in America. Not because they had the same experiences.

Because they remember their own version of them.

Listeners in 56 countries, one thing is clear. The nostalgia is the doorway. The real product is the feeling. And that's something no production budget can manufacture.

Hosted by Jay and Rich... two lifelong friends with a 30-year bond... the show captures the essence of growing up in the ’70s and ’80s and reflects on the moments that shaped us from then to now. They’ll make you feel right at home.

The Things We Got Away With

Send us a message, we'd love to hear from you.

Before smartphones, tracking apps, and helicopter parenting… we had freedom. Maybe a little too much freedom.

In this episode of Slice of Life, Jay shares how he hopped on a bus headed to a school play he wasn’t even signed up to attend, all for a chance to talk to a girl. Meanwhile, Rich recounts the time he pedaled miles from home, flying down steep country hills at 60 mph… no helmet, no clue, and no one knowing where he was.

We’re talking about the risks, the laughs, and the little rebellions that shaped us and somehow didn’t break us.

Because sometimes the best memories are the ones we were never supposed to make.

There is nothing quite like the slow-smoked goodness at Gig’s BBQ. From tender pulled pork and fall-off-the-bone ribs to his legendary Hogzilla, every bite is packed with flavor and crafted with care. Gig’s BBQ isn’t fast food, it is real barbecue… smoked low and slow over hickory and oak until perfection. Come taste it for yourself at 855 Bloomery Pike, Augusta, West Virginia 26704
