In this episode of the Positively Pittsburgh Podcast, we take a heartfelt and deeply personal look at the life of Tonee Turner. Through a conversation with a couple of Tonee’s close friends, we explore who she was beyond the headlines including her personality, her passions, and the impact she had on those around her. We also discuss the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, reflecting on the unanswered questions and the lasting effect her absence has had on her community. While her story remains unresolved, there is still hope. There is hope that more answers will come to light, and even the possibility, however small, that Tonee may one day return. This episode marks the first in our True Crime Edition series, where we will explore unsolved mysteries and stories from the Pittsburgh area that deserve to be remembered, revisited, and, one day, understood.

In the latest episode of The Positively Pittsburgh Podcast, host Tom Pollard sits down with Adam Zahren & Zoe Eadie for an engaging conversation about the power of play, creativity, and why stepping outside our daily routines matters more than ever. Adam shares thoughts on how play influences learning, relationships, mental health, and the way communities connect.

The discussion moves from childhood memories to the role that play can have in influencing adult life, business and personal growth. Along the journey, listeners hear stories, laughter and thoughtful insights about balancing responsibility with imagination in today’s fast-moving world.

This episode captures the spirit of curiosity and positivity that makes Pittsburgh unique while reminding listeners that play is not just for kids — it is an important part of staying creative, connected, and inspired at any age.

In this episode of the Positively Pittsburgh Podcast, Tom Pollard talks with Hannah Burns and Tyler Butler, two Pittsburgh-based personal trainers who are helping people rethink fitness, recovery, and overall wellness.

Both bring strong backgrounds in personal training and performance coaching, and their work has led them into the growing world of cold immersion and ice bath therapy. Tyler was one of the founders of TubClub, a Pittsburgh-based initiative introducing people to ice bath and sauna immersion and has grown into a supportive community for health. Hannah later joined the organization and now plays a leadership role in that community as the group leads an evolution from the TubClub pop-up events to a brick and mortar space called Nervana Health.

Together, they share what they’ve learned from working with clients, why ice baths have become such a powerful tool for recovery and mental resilience, and what it’s like helping newcomers take that first plunge into cold water.

In this conversation, we talk about their paths into personal training, the mindset behind cold immersion, and their vision for helping more people improve their health and resilience.
