With Everyone (by myself)

Today, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is available for preorder. Like many new shiny Apple things, I’m intrigued by this device. I’m not gonna rush on the preorder; it seems more practical to try the new phone out first. I asked Apple when that’d be possible and they said the Pro Max wouldn’t be in … + Read More

Before we moved into our home in 2006, we had decorative concrete flooring installed. We had to move in a bit faster than we’d initially expected, so we definitely cut some corners on the pre-move details. While the concrete floors looked great (and still do), we didn’t have the floors sealed, which has made their … + Read More

I’ve heard NaPodPoMo is a good time for podcast experiments. I’m taking that idea to heart. Earlier this week, I fired up my RØDECaster Pro for the first time in ages to upgrade its firmware. I also wiped all of its settings to the factory defaults. That means starting over from scratch. For years, I’ve … + Read More

Halfway thru Election Day 2020. I’ve been monitoring the social medias as much as I can stand to. While I have as many hot takes as everyone else, I’m holding back. People are stressed out enough as it is. Adding to that just doesn’t seem like a very productive thing to do. Sure, I have … + Read More

Jen joins me for NaPodPoMo day two. Jen is very empathic, Force sensitive (still honing her Force-wielding skills), allegedly not a Betazoid (yes, I said “Betazed” in the recording; I will never live it down), and is feeling the country’s anxiety the night before Election Day 2020. I asked Jen a series of mostly random … + Read More

After not producing much of anything for… months, it seemed like a good idea to give NaPodPoMo a try. In an attempt to squash the overthinking part of my brain, I decided to record this one as simply as possible. Yes, the sound quality probably isn’t great. But, is it ever? The quality of the … + Read More

Originally recorded on April 3rd, when this whole pandemic thing was still somewhat new (but definitely no less surreal). Anxiety is not new to me but I can usually pin its cause on something. It’s certainly easy enough to blame any sense of uneasiness on the current state of the world, but I’ve still been … + Read More

Mike joined me for a discussion about his experience being furloughed as a result of novel coronavirus COVID-19. This audio was recorded two days ago. Mike lives in the CornRona Belt, better known as Indiana. He’s been working for a number of years at a food court-corporate concept-travel plaza. As the new COVID-19 reality came … + Read More

Jen joined me to have a conversation about novel coronavirus COVID-19. The audio was recorded two days ago, during our first full day of shelter-at-home, as ordered by the state of California. We shared what we know about where COVID-19 might’ve come from. (Virus reservoirs!) We covered the current shelter-at-home order and why that’s important. … + Read More

This month marks my 15th anniversary in podcasting. It’s not a terribly exciting story but one that I think is worth recounting. Summer 2004 I’d created my first “real” website with a domain name. I had this idea to record “radio shows” and post them on that site. Maybe people would find them? I had … + Read More
