A wild card is an uncontrollable or unpredictable element. And that is the namesake of our Podcast: a conversation between three friends who find themselves on a journey to wherever. We begin with a destination in mind, but our travels are full of twists, turns, and tangents upon tangents. And therein lies the fun.... or so we hope.

Ron Blair, Jeff Curtis, and Jared Eaton
