Today we have an amazing pair of guest's from the appropriately named "Pony Express". Ed Ford and Alan Chiasson walk us through what it was like to be the most dedicated and deadly Postmen in the Middle East. Highlighting their new book "Postcards Through Hell", Ed and Alan walk us through the peril's of delivering everything from generators, munitions, fuel, to a whole lot of mail to our soldiers on the front lines of the GWOT. These two and countless others risked their lives to keep our soldiers connected with their families even when the U.S. Military deemed it low priority.

This is an update to let you know what's been happening in my world and to explain "wassup" with the podcast. In this episode I explain where I have been since the last episode in 2022, new things going on like my near death experience and I tell you about Jackson's senior project. Bear in mind that the sound samples I include are low-res, mono files and the actual vinyl and CDs are full bore stereo. You know how it is with podcast audio. But, I think you'll get the idea.   Music credits: Intro: Prison Walls by Randy Godwin, performed by Buddy Ashmore and Pony Express. Outro 1: The Ghoul (short sample) written and arranged by Jackson Laird. Outro 2: The Spot Reprise written and arranged by Jackson Laird. The expected release date of his album is June 2025. Look him up on Band Camp. The title of the album is "Up Time".   Podcast Note: All past, present and future GrassTalkRadio episodes are available on Podbean here: https://bradleylaird.podbean.com/   I trust that all of you are doing well, enjoying life and making good music.

Before the transcontinental telegraph, sending a message coast-to-coast in the United States could take up to a month via stagecoach. Until, that is, the opening of the Pony Express, on April 3, 1860. Its founders, William H. Russell, William Bradford Waddell and Alexander Majors, set up over 150 relay stations along a pioneer trail, recruiting wiry teenage lone riders (‘orphans preferred') to make the precarious trek in a record-breaking ten days.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal the employment clauses insisted upon by these entrepreneurs; consider how Buffalo Bill Cody enshrined the concept in the American frontier myth for generations; and explain why, if you thought a job as a mailman sounded risky, you *really* wouldn't want to be posted at the relay stations… Further Reading: • ‘The Pony Express Was Short-Lived And Costly' (Smithsonian Magazine, 2015): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/pony-express-was-short-lived-and-costly-180954986/ • ‘Pony Express Debuts' (HISTORY, 2009): https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/pony-express-debuts • ‘Trailer: The Pony Express' (Paramount, 1953): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5va9JXedVo #1800s #US #Animals Learn more about your ad choices.

The Whiskey Trip - Season 3, Episode 11 - Kyle Merklein, Master Distiller - Holladay Distillery

The Bourbon Life

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief takes you deep into the heart of Missouri whiskey country—to Weston, Missouri, where history and bourbon collide at the legendary Holladay Distillery. There, he sits down with Master Distiller Kyle Merklein to uncover a story of grit, determination, and damn good whiskey. Kyle paints a vivid picture of 1856 Missouri, a time when stagecoaches rumbled through the dusty roads, Pony Express riders pushed the limits of endurance, and silver mines promised fortunes. Amidst it all, two bold brothers, Ben and Major David Holladay, saw something even more valuable—a pure limestone spring that would become the foundation for crafting world-class bourbon. And what's a story without a pour in hand? Big Chief and Kyle start strong with the Ben Holladay 1856 Bottled in Bond—a 100-proof, 6-year-old stunner with a mash bill of 73% Corn, 15% Rye, and 12% Malted Barley. One sip delivers lush stone fruit, crisp cherry pie, and a touch of warm allspice—a perfect way to set the stage. Then, they turn up the intensity with the Ben Holladay 1856 Original Rickhouse Proof—a 123.3-proof cinnamon spice bomb that coats the palate with a velvety heat, unfolding into layers of roasted nuts and rich caramel. For the second half, they dive into the Holladay Soft Red Wheat Bottled in Bond, where a mash bill of 73% Corn, 15% Wheat, and 12% Malted Barley brings something special to the table. Big Chief is instantly transported to a county fair—biting into candied apples, munching on fig newtons, and savoring the creamy sweetness of butterscotch. Finally, they bring it home with the Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof—a six-year-old, 120.4-proof powerhouse bursting with dark cherry, caramel, and baking spices. This pour takes Big Chief back to high school, with the nostalgic flavors of Big Red cream soda and an atomic fireball—a bold finish to an unforgettable lineup. For over 165 years, Holladay Distillery has stood the test of time, crafting whiskey with character, history, and an unwavering commitment to quality. They're not just making bourbon—they're carrying on a legacy, Missouri-style. So pour yourself a glass, buckle up, and get ready for another wild ride on The Whiskey Trip. Cheers!

They discover, that if they close their eyes, they can "jump" into a picture in the book and become part of the story! Kiddos learn interesting facts about the 1860's horse-and-rider Overland Mail Company (the Pony Express), while they learn the true meaning of patience.  Patience is not just waiting –– it is finding a way to be happy while you wait. Their neighborhood friend, Lizbeth, returns as the librarian, and they meet new friends in 1860 Sacramento: brothers Tobias Lee, Jesse Ray and their mother; a pony express rider, and the Mayor of Sacramento, himself!  Old Mrs. Moody is called up onto the grandstand to grab the mail pouch from the Pony Express rider as he delivers the very first message from St. Joe, Missouri on April 14, 1860!

He wanted to learn from their mistakes so as not to repeat them.—Elon announces that he wants to start his own rocket company and I do remember a lot of chuckling, some laughter, people saying things like, ‘Save your money kid, and go sit on the beach.'” The kid was not amused. If anything, the doubts expressed at this meeting, and by some of his confidants, energized him more.—Musk was a siren, calling brilliant young minds to SpaceX with an irresistible song. He offered an intoxicating brew of vision, charisma, audacious goals, resources.—When they needed something, he wrote the check. In meetings, he helped solve their most challenging technical problems. When the hour was late, he could often be found right there, beside them, working away.—The iterative approach begins with a goal and almost immediately leaps into concept designs, bench tests, and prototypes. The mantra with this approach is build and test early, find failures, and adapt. This is what SpaceX engineers and technicians did.—"Here was a man who was not interested in experts. He meets me, he thinks to himself, 'Here is a bright kid, let's employ him.' And he does. He risks little with the possibility of gaining much. It is *exactly* what I now do at DysonThis attitude to employment extended to [Jeremy] Fry's thinking in everything, including engineering. He did not, when an idea came to him, sit down and process it through pages of calculations; *he didn't argue it through with anyone; he just went out and built it.* When I came to him to say, 'I've had an idea,' he would offer no more advice than to say, 'You know where the workshop is, go and do it.'  'But we'll need to weld this thing,' I would protest.Well then, get a welder and weld it.' When I asked if we shouldn't talk to sure someone about, say, hydrodynamics, he would say, 'The lake is down there, the Land Rover is over there, take a plank of wood down to the lake, tow it behind a boat and look at what happens.' Now, this was not a modus operandi that I had encountered before. College had taught me to revere experts and expertise. Fry ridiculed all that; as far as he was concerned, *with enthusiasm and intelligence anything was possible.* It was mind-blowing. No research, no preliminary sketches. If it didn't work one way he would just try it another way, until it did. And as we proceeded I could see that we were getting on extremely quickly.  *The root principle was to do things your way.* It didn't matter how other people did it. It didn't matter if it could be done better.  As long as it works, and it is exciting, people will follow you."      — Against the Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson by James Dyson (Founders #300)—Elon personally interviewed the first 3,000 employees of SpaceX.—His people had to be brilliant. They had to be hardworking. And there could be no nonsense.—SpaceX operated at its own speed.—Pony Express ad: “Wanted: Young, skinny, wiry fellows not over eighteen. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred.”—I've never met a man so laser focused on his vision for what he wanted. He's very intense, and he's intimidating as hell.—SpaceX had juice with the best students in space engineering. The freedom to innovate and resources to go fast summoned the best engineers in the land.—Talent wins over experience and an entrepreneurial culture over heritage.—He always made the most difficult decisions. He did not put off problems, but rather tackled the hardest ones first. And he had a vision for how aerospace could be done faster and for less money.—He didn't want to fail, but he wasn't afraid of it.—The speed SpaceX worked at relative to its peers could be jarring.—No job is beneath us.—No committees. No reports. Just done.—Most of all he channeled an intense force to move things forward. Elon wants to get shit done.—SpaceX likes to operate on its own terms and its own timeline.—90% of the book is SpaceX failing.—Elon spent much of the flight poring over books written about early rocket scientists and their efforts. He seemed intent to understand the mistakes they had made and learn from them.—SpaceX is in this for the long haul and, come hell or high water, we are going to make this work.—Who knows your customers? Find the person that knows your customers and then hire that person to sell your product to them.—No work about work, just work. Shotwell wrote a plan of action for sales. Musk took one look at it and told her that he did not care about plans. Just get on with the job. “I was like, oh, OK, this is refreshing. I don't have to write up a damn plan,” Shotwell recalled. Here was her first real taste of Musk's management style. Don't talk about doing things, just do things.—Within its first three years, SpaceX had sued three of its biggest rivals in the launch industry, gone against the Air Force with the proposed United Launch Alliance merger, and protested a NASA contract. Elon Musk was not walking on eggshells on the way to orbit. He was breaking a lot of eggs.—A Pegasus launch cost between $ 26 and $ 28 million. SpaceX's price was $6 million. Musk wanted it front and center on the company's website. This sort of transparency was radical at the time.----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out. The only criticism I would have is that after each podcast I usually want to buy the book because I am interested so my poor wallet suffers. ” — GarethBe like Gareth.

As we approach the peak summertime Bob-B-Que months (zing), we'd like to share Bob the Drag Queen's 8 tips for a successful chicken wing soiree, which will ensure that your fowl party is anything but foul: 1) Send your dinner party invitations by Pony Express or personal messenger at least 10 days in advance. Include a cooked goose or snuff box for extra enticement. 2) Select an appropriate color scheme and harmonize everything on the table within that palette. If an invited guest passes from consumption before the engagement, consider black, brown, or dark grey as a sign of respect for the deceased. 3) Never, and we do mean NEVER, starch your napkins. You will be swiftly rejected from polite society and burn in hell for eternity if you do. 4) Ideal floral centerpieces include roses, lilies, carnations, ferns and smilax. If you are planning a post-dinner orgy, consider using roses in your bouquet and scatter a few extra petals artistically around the table and on the floor, instructing guests where they can begin their erotic adventures after the dessert and cognac course. 5) Hang satin ribbons, bows, and smilax from your chandelier for a striking visual effect of fresh, dainty beauty. During the holidays, you can also hang mistletoe to encourage pre-orgy kissing and heavy-petting. 6) Use colorful gas or whale-oil lamps, as well as transparent globes to produce a dreamscape of hues in the dining room and beyond. If several of your guests border on the rubenesque, remember that whale-oil lamps are a particularly forgiving source of light for those guests who have eaten one-too-many cherry jubilees over the years. 7) It is recommended to have at least one servant available to attend to the needs of every six guests. During the orgy, this ratio should increase to one servant for every three guests. 8) Last, but not least, it is extremely important that all guests are examined by a licensed physician for syphilis, gonorrhea, or symptoms of the plague prior to the orgy. If you follow these 8 simple rules, we can assure you that come morning, you'll be the undisputed toast of high society!
