The Less Desirables Recorded in The Omniverus Studios at Liberty Plaza.

This week’s episode of The Less Desirables is filled with energy, laughter, and a few heartfelt moments. Tim and Bethany kick things off with birthday shoutouts and family milestones before welcoming back a familiar guest, Monique Farrell. The conversation flows easily as Monique dives into her new role as executive director of The Shalom Project, sharing the mission, community impact, and even some fun stories behind its well-known fundraising traditions.

Listeners also get a deeper look at Monique’s personal journey, from her roots in Trinidad and Miami to her long connection with Winston-Salem. The trio swap travel tales, cultural quirks, and childhood memories—everything from lawn darts to Strawberry Shortcake finds its way into the mix. Monique’s warmth and humor shine through, making her more than just a guest; she feels like part of the family.

The episode wraps with the usual blend of sponsor shoutouts, music features, and lighthearted banter. Between stories of ice cream fundraisers, island adventures, and playlists full of ‘90s hip hop. It’s a reminder of how community, friendship, and laughter can all fit into one unforgettable podcast hour.
