Podcast appearances and mentions of bernice ende

I'm sure we all want to give up our day job for our dream job. As tempting as it sounds, it's fraught with risk. On this episode of For Songs, California-based 3 Pairs of Boots, featuring the real-life married couple Laura Arias and Andrew Stern, talk about how they did just that. After years of balancing work and family life with the arts, Andrew and Laura reached a point where they needed to give music their undivided attention. And we're all better off for it. As 3 Pairs of Boots, Laura and Andrew perform California-tinged Americana music—imagine if Stacey and Steve Earle grew up in LA instead of the Midwest. The duo's newest album Long Rider comes out on Jan. 29. Learn more about their journey together and how the adventures of another free spirit inspires their songwriting. Listen in!

Our interview with Bernice Ende - Lady Long Rider was our most listened to podcast in 2019. We thought some of our new listeners and subscribers might want to hear her story. Sponsored by:

In this episode, Julianne takes a quick break to speak with Wren Winfield, director of the Lady Long Rider film featuring Bernice Ende. In her incredible memoir, Lady Long Rider: Alone Across America on Horseback we are introduced to Bernice, a solitary figure with the daunting goal of traveling from Montana to New Mexico in a single ride. At the age of 50, Bernice turned south into the unknown and began her first voyage on the way to becoming a world-class long rider. Since that fateful decision she hasn't looked back. Accompanied by her horses and an exceptional dog named Claire, Ende has logged more than 29,000 miles in the saddle, crisscrossing North America and beyond.Wren, founder of W+E1 Productions, has taken 2 seemingly different career paths in her life: Filmmaker and Healer. With W+E1 she is merging her 2 passions, and literalizing the term 'healing arts ' by making films that she hopes will convey ideas that heal. Wren went to graduate school for filmmaking at San Francisco State University in the late 80's. She won her first two film awards in the 'real world' while still in school.Wren left film school when she scored her first 'real job' in the Industry, as an assistant editor of television commercials. She was one of the first people in San Francisco to be trained on the revolutionary technology of the Avid non-linear editing system. Having this skill during the dawn of the digital age kept her busy, and she eventually became a post-producer for a San Francisco edit house where they finished commercials for Ad Agencies like Hal Riney, Foote, Cone & Belding, J. Walter Thomson, and others. Wren worked on hundreds of commercials including Levi’s, Taco Bell, Old Navy, the Sprint pin-drop shot by Tony Scott, and many more. That was her day job. By night, she worked on her own films. Wren obtained grants for, produced, directed, and edited two award-winning films: Period Piece (1996) and A Pregnant Moment (1999). In 1997, Wren felt a different calling and returned to graduate school for a Master of Science in Chinese Medicine. She healed people for years with Acupuncture, and is now returning to her filmmaking roots to heal in a broader way.To learn more about Wren Winfield, visit https://www.we-1.org/wren-winfield.

Whoa Podcast Update 2018 Today I’ll be talking more about podcasting than horses, so if you tune out, I’ll understand. We wanted to get you a podcast update on what is happening at Whoa Podcast for 2018.  It’s our 6th year and, what started out as a conversation between Ranae and me about Downunder Horsemanship kept growing and growing.  I wanted it to be a place where regular folks could share their “equine experience” thus enhancing all of our knowledge. Not knowing anything about podcasting, I dove in head first.  I liked the technical aspects of producing the show.  The hard part was talking and interviewing.  My voice isn’t exactly made for radio as they say.  My interview style is stilted and a bit stiff.  Over the years these improved.  In 2017, I made it my goal to produce a show each and every week.  I succeeded. Producing a show week for the last year has been a daunting task.  Lining up guests, doing the research, scheduling, then editing takes a chunk of time.  Not to mention the writing and time on social media to promote the show.  Some of the shows weren’t as “groomed” as I would have liked them to be.  With just me as chief cook and bottle washer, sometimes quality suffered over the deadline to get a show published.  I tried to recruit other people into the task, but there’s no money and little fame for many podcasters.  But, don’t cry for me Argentina, I did and do it because I thoroughly enjoy the entire process. We've Been Around the World By offering a wide range of guests, talking about all aspects of horses, we covered a lot of ground.  We’ve interviewed veterinarians, farriers, dressage riders.  Through the podcast, Ranae and I have experienced Extreme Cowboy Racing, Working Equitation, Trail Trials, and much more. And, I’m proud that we were able to give the non-professional speakers a chance to share their horsemanship knowledge on the show.  Folks like Bernice Ende riding across the country and Dennis Dueker and his therapeutic riding ranch, and Alan Day talking about Mustangs. We took you along with us all over the place.  From the Ojai Valley Cowboy School, to a cutting lesson and out to Colorado to experience the Australian sport of Campdrafting.  You followed us along to the home of Doc Bar, the Horsemen’s Reunion, Cavalia, and the Vaquero Heritage Trainers Challenge.  We even took you to Mongolia and talked about what it would be like to ride one of those Mongolian horses through the countryside. Maybe the topics were too broad because we covered polocrosse with Paul Johnson, Western dressage with Jennifer Collman, roping with Denny Watkins, and working cow horse with legendary trainer Doug Williamson. When I began the podcast in 2012 I did not know much about horses.  I still don’t.  But, I know a lot more than I did 6 years ago.  If you’ve been listening, you do too.  It was through the podcast that I learned about a wild, privately managed herd of mustangs and got to start my own - and first - wild horse at the age of 61.  I survived the ordeal.  Actually, because of all I learned on the show, I accomplished the task without any bodily injury.  My pride got hurt a few times, but my bones remain intact. The Business of Podcasting My goal was to never ask for money from my listeners.  I had hoped some sponsor would come along and help.  Maybe there was an outside chance for a syndication deal.  But, I was doing the podcast for me and all the people who owned horses because they loved them, not necessarily because they knew a lot about them. I listen to many other podcasts.  When I heard RadioLab can spend $100,000 on a single episode, I was astonished.  Of course, they have an army of editors, writers, production assistants, and reporters for their show, the whoa podcast has me and Ranae.  Yes, I have expenses, whew, a hundred grand - I could do a lot with that!  We started a Patreon Page where listeners could help out with expenses if they chose. This part of the “business” of podcasting is my biggest weakness.  I’m simply uncomfortable asking for money and don’t like to do it.  Not that what we’ve produced isn’t valuable.  It has been and I’ve gotten so much out of it. To make money through advertising the podcast needed to get to 20,000 downloads a month.  While we came close a couple of times, we could not sustain those numbers to attract advertisers. All this is the long way around telling you that the podcast will slow down in 2018.  We have a couple of commitments and look forward to a few shows, but there will not be one every week.  The episodes that have tickled my creative fancy the most were the two with old-time buckaroo, Bill Mooney and the story Bobby Kerr and Tom Hagwood had to tell.  They weren’t the most downloaded episodes, put preserving those stories, presenting them to you so you can share them, has made them very fun to produce.  I’m working on another project to find stories - perhaps in a shorter format - to bring to you in the future.  We’ll see if I can make that happen. Use the Archives In the meantime, the old episodes will still be available, all 175 of them.  You can find them at WhoaPodcast dot com.  We hope you’ll stay in touch, too.  If you subscribe to one of the services, you’ll get a notification if or when we produce another episode.  I want to personally thank you for sharing this journey with us, supporting the show through all the growing pains.  Ranae and I hope you got something valuable out of it.  We know we did.  If there is one underlying theme to our show, it’s been to follow your dream - no matter what it is - wherever it goes.  If you can’t see the whole path, go as far as you can and from there you’ll learn which direction to turn next.  Thanks again for listening and sharing this podcast with your friends and riding buddies.  Until next time, Go have some fun with your horses.

Bernice Ende is a horsewoman and adventurer who has ridden over 28,000 miles on horseback throughout the United States. Back in 2005, without any significant experience in long riding, Bernice set out by herself from her home in Trego, Montana and headed south—2,000 miles south, all the way to the Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the following years, her rides became more and more ambitious, and her most recent trip stretched 8,000 miles from Montana to the coast of Maine and back, a journey that took over two and a half years to complete! • I was surprised to learn that Bernice is relatively new to long riding and never had life-long dreams of making long riding a full-time vocation. She grew up on a Minnesota dairy farm and spent the majority of her adult life teaching ballet in cities such as San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Seattle. In 1992 she moved to Trego, Montana and opened a ballet school in a historic community hall building. After a decade of teaching there in Trego, she made the decision to take her first long ride. Since then, her story has been featured in numerous magazines, newspapers, and even on the Today Show. More importantly, her rides have inspired people of all ages to follow their dreams and pursue lives of adventure. • Bernice is extremely gifted at telling her her life story, so we had a fun and in-depth conversation. We discussed her background and the decisions that led her to strike out on her own on her first long ride. We talked about the mental challenges of pursuing such ambitious adventures and how she manages the emotional ups and downs of years on the road. She breaks down the specifics of her long rides—how far she rides each day, what she eats, where she sleeps, and all the other details. She also shares some heartwarming stories of people she has met on her rides—stories that will restore your faith in humanity in the midst of our current volatile political climate. • Thank you again to Bernice for taking the time to chat.

Long Rider Bernice Ende When one of our listeners and No Worries Club member, Roberta Carr recommended I interview a long rider for the show I was not sure what she meant.  She told me little about long rider Bernice Ende and referred me to Bernice's website Ende of the Trail. Looking over her site I could see she had ridden a lot.  She started in 2005 and wasn't sure where it would go, but the first ride was 2,000 miles.  Can you imagine?  At age fifty she retired and decided it would be a good idea to pack up her horses and dog and head out across the country.  Faced with a number of challenges and many reasons to stop, she did not.  She kept riding.  After eleven years she has logged 25,000 miles.  Yes, that 25,000.  Now I know what a long rider is - Bernice Ende. Bernice is wintering on the the East Coast.  She will resume her return long ride to Montana by going through Canada from coast-to-coast.  We caught up to her via Skype and she shared her experiences as a long rider. Later in the show I offer a parting shot about the horses of the NFR and why they should get a little more recognition from CBS Sports.
