On each Catskill Cabin Conversations broadcast, invited guests are asked to discuss a number of items that they would take with them on a Catskill cabin getaway. As they discuss their chosen items, it is intended that you, the listener, will enjoy getting to know each guest that little bit better.

Phil spent his proverbial "wonder bread years" on the Great South Bay, Long Island. He then spent his McSorley's Years on the Lower East Side. His focus in adulthood has been marriage and fatherdom, an ongoing endeavor. Phil is a director and writer. He is also talented actor, although Phil maintains that he is not an actor and will fight anyone who says differently. His interests include dogs, beekeeping, and cocktails. Produced by Andy Reid and Mike Porter.
