Episode 1: “Pull Up a Chair” – The First ETC Podcast Conversation

In this debut episode, Tom and his sons Eric and Chase kick off The ETC Podcast — a no-filter, family discussion that feels like gathering around the dinner table. The trio dives into everything from the recent New York City mayoral election and government shutdowns to affordable housing, manufacturing jobs, and how AI is reshaping the economy. Along the way, they share laughs, personal stories, and plenty of good-natured debate, keeping the tone real and relatable.

The conversation blends politics, everyday life, and a touch of humor — even swapping stories about family dinners and Mom’s famous fried chicken. It’s a thoughtful, down-to-earth start to a podcast built on honest talk between father and sons about the issues and experiences that shape American family life.
