About this listen

Deep Dives & Light Laughs is a podcast about creating connection and how to build it. Hosted by Larry Carpman and Lindsay Purcell, this podcast started in the fall of 2023 after Lindsay continued to spark conversations with Larry at a popular coffee shop on the South Shore of Massachusetts, Slacktide Coffee Roasters. These regulars formed a friendship through easy conversations filled with deep dives and light laughs. Their goal is to use humor, stories, and mutual connections to explore getting to know people on a deeper level without asking the tired question, "So what do you do?" Listen to hear them interview some incredible people about what lights them up, how they cultivate connection, and IF that’s what they ended up doing for work...

    This week on Deep Dives & Light Laughs, we sit down with Jon Belber, Education Director at Friends of Holly Hill Farm—a nonprofit working farm and outdoor classroom dedicated to regenerative agriculture and hands-on learning.

    Jon shares the story of how Holly Hill balances growing nutrient-rich food with cultivating eco-literacy for all ages, from school garden programs to seasonal farm initiatives. We dive into what regenerative practices really look like, the challenges (and joys) of teaching kids in the fields, and the ways small daily choices can add up to big impact for our planet. He also shares his path to Holly Hill and the mission behind the farm.

    You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for your food, a few practical tips to reduce waste at home, and ideas for how to get involved—whether that’s volunteering, visiting the farm stand, or supporting school gardens.

    In this episode of Deep Dives and Light Laughs, we sit down with Elle Jarvis, founder of H COLE Club, a catering and events company based in Humarock, Massachusetts. Known for her intentional, place-based gatherings that celebrate food, community, and coastal heritage, Elle shares the story behind the business she built as a tribute to her family’s legacy—and to a delicious life by the sea.

    We talk about her hands-on approach to hospitality, how her time in Umbria shaped her perspective on food and storytelling, and what it means to create gatherings with depth and purpose. She also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her new Sunday Supper Series, launching this month, and the vision that’s guiding this next chapter of H COLE.

    • The meaning behind the name H COLE and her great uncle’s influence
    • What sets her events and food philosophy apart
    • Lessons from her time in Italy and Boston’s restaurant world
