This special edition of the Mixtape Tales podcast is a discussion of Huntington's Disease with my cousin, Amanda. She talks about the testing process, why advocacy is crucial, and shares her -- OUR -- family story. I am titling these episodes "Talking Chorea Blues" in honor of an unrecorded Woody Guthrie song related to his illness. In case you were wondering where the title came from :) If you want to tell your family's HD story, shoot me an email pbriggs1977@gmail.com and we will set up a time to talk. I can not thank Amanda enough for taking the time to do this, and I hope you find her episode informative and helpful.

Lagrange County IN Treasurer Jamesi Lemon joins the show to talk about a wide variety of things! This was a fun one to record, and thank you for all coming to my therapy session. As always, my audio sounds like two tin cans strung together, so if you are patient and bare with it, I think you will enjoy this one... "All Democrats are evil" -- Jamesi, out of context

This week's episode features Amanda Rinehart, who has some opinions!   This is an ep I have wanted to do for a long time, as we discuss a wide range of topics.  I think it was informative and a lot of fun, and I hope you do, too. Note: this ep was recorded after RBG passed but before Trump nominated ACB to fill her seat on the court, and before everyone in the White House got Covid.

For episode 20, I talk with author Jim Boeglin about his newest book, American Values in the Trump Era.

Even if you are to the right on some of the issues discussed, I know that if you bring an open mind, you just might learn something!

The podcast just got 90% more Otter-tastic as Paul finally gets to sit down with the Otter Daughter, Carrie! We talked about otters (naturally), finding help in scary times and being a 5th grader.
