The Slice: One Wrong Turn

This is the story of the 11:55pm rush at Tower Records. Whatever could those folks be buying?

We start the week with a look a look back at my time working in the fitness center at the Jewish Community Center in Rockville, MD. There were two members that made a lasting impression on me, and one is the subject of today's story - when two worlds met that were never meant to. 

Enjoy a meditation on the social contracts we establish with the service strangers in our lives, our feelings of embarassment and shame, and the exciting world of adult entertainment. Take a trip back in time to when CDs were common, Blu Rays were novel, and Playboy was still a magazine. We’re clocking in for a shift at Tower Records.

Today we’re serving: One Wrong Turn

WHAT IS THE SLICE?

"The Slice" is a new single serving storytelling format where each episode is a new anecdote, and life itself is the adventure. Hosted by Jason Howard Heat, new episodes drop every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Subscribe and stick around if you love a good story. ENJOYED THIS EPISODE?

• Listen to the first half of this thematic duo of episodes, about the other fitness center member who carved a spot in history - Joe, the man who purposely exercised himself into a seizure on the regular. Enjoy the “The Elephant in the Gym.”
