In My Hometown
Podcast Description
In My Hometown is where we get into the business of our neighbors. Each episode spotlights the people who live and work next door - entrepreneurs, artists, leaders, and everyday people shaping our communities. Host Jamie Stein sits down for thoughtful conversations about what they do, why they do it, their passions, purpose, challenges, and more. Because the most inspiring stories aren't always on the front page - sometimes, they're happening right in your hometown.

Is age really just a number in dating? And does it depend who’s older?
This week on In My Hometown, Jamie and Pascal sit down with Theresa DeMaria, 54, from the hit Netflix show Age of Attraction—hosted by Nick Viall and Natalie Joy.
Theresa and John's (27) relationship on the show made headlines their 27 year age gap. Now she’s sharing what really happened—behind the scenes, off camera, and beyond what viewers saw.
We get into what that relationship was actually like, what surprised her most, and why age gap dynamics still feel so different when the woman is older.
From chemistry vs. compatibility to societal expectations and real-life logistics, this is a candid, honest conversation about dating, relationships, and connection—at any age.
