We Went Viral… And Now We Have a Robin’s Donuts Dilemma! It’s birthday week around here! Leah celebrated her 47th birthday on August 29. Shawn is getting ready to hit the big 5-0 on September 3. We’re celebrating both birthdays with a big BBQ potluck at Shawn’s dad’s place on
It’s another jam-packed episode of Have Coffee Will Travel, and this time we’ve got a little bit of everything! We start with yard sales, including one we hosted ourselves a few weeks ago. It was definitely not the typical hot summer yard sale day. Instead, it was cold, nasty and
What started as a simple garage cleanup turned into one of the most unexpected wildlife rescues we’ve ever experienced! While getting organized for an upcoming yard sale, Leah discovered a mother mouse and five tiny babies hiding in a box. We share the surprisingly heartwarming story of how Mom made
This week, Leah officially becomes a beekeeper. After a year of classes, research, planning, and anticipation, she made the six-hour trip south to pick up her first honey bee colony and bring it home. We talk about the journey, the learning curve, and how Shawn and his dad prepared a
After an unexpected delay, we’re finally back with a new episode! Leah shares stories from her recent deployment to Toronto, where she spent ten straight days working long shifts supporting evacuees from Fort Albany. Unfortunately, she returned home with a nasty cold. And a serious case of exhaustion, which explains
This one’s a few days late—but for a really good reason. Leah’s been out of town working as a nurse, helping care for First Nations evacuees from Fort Albany. Every spring, flooding forces northern communities out of their homes. This time, many were relocated to Toronto—about eight hours from us.

☕ Episode 49: Bees, Bills and YouTube Thrills This episode starts where a lot of conversations seem to live these days—YouTube. We dig into the world of influencers and content creators. Some are making amazing stuff. Others? Not so much. When you have to post to stay relevant, even the
☕ Episode 48: Great Lakes Geek Fest Subtitle: Selling at the Con This week, we take Have Coffee Will Travel on the road—well… to a convention hall here in Sault Ste. Marie for the very first Great Lakes Geek Fest, put on by Kanto Kreations. And yes—we had a booth.
Episode 47 — From Star Trek to Van Life This episode of Have Coffee Will Travel looks a little different…because it is. For the first time, Shawn set up a camera and filmed the podcast while recording the audio. Why? Because he’s gearing up to launch a new YouTube project
Episode 46: Showgirls VS Alien This week, we dove headfirst into the neon chaos of Showgirls. Leah had seen it years ago. Shawn had not. We pressed play with cautious optimism. That optimism did not survive. The acting feels loud, awkward, and strangely theatrical. The story wanders. Characters make choices
Episode 45: 50 First Dates kicks off with a very important update: Shawn’s hair. After shaving his head since his twenties, he finally let it grow out. The results land somewhere between Captain Picard and a clown, and yes, that comparison sets the tone for what follows. From there, we
