Heather Reilly Hiemstra sits down with April Hunter — pro wrestler, model, writer and host of The A Show — for an unscripted conversation that goes wherever it needs to. From World Cup visitors rewriting what they’d heard about America to the weeds we pull from our own lawns, April keeps returning to one idea: much of what keeps us well has been within reach all along.

If you’ve ever wondered why food you’ve eaten for decades doesn’t sit the same way, or why the people who live longest seem to laugh the most, this one’s for you. Two Gen X women, no script, and a running argument about what belongs in a 2026 time capsule.

Conversations include

• The Food Has Changed — Why ”I haven’t changed a thing” may not mean the food hasn’t — April on reformulated household brands, and Heather on the ketchup label that made her look twice.
• The Apothecary in Your Yard — Dandelion, milk thistle and stinging nettle: the plants we mow down, and the old folk tradition of using what grows outside the back door.
• Connection and Longevit — What Blue Zones communities have in common beyond the menu — laughter, daily movement and an in-person circle of people.
• America Through Visitors’ Eyes — Scottish fans in kilts singing ”Pretty Woman” in Boston, chips that arrive before you pay, a first plate of Texas barbecue — World Cup travelers on the country they found.
• Going Rogue with April Hunter — The first woman to wrestle for TNA, twelve-plus Playboy rejections before a friend’s referral, and the lesson she kept from it: take nothing personally.

Tune in for two Gen X women trading stories, laughing a lot, and reminding each other that knowing how your own body works is still the best place to start.
