It was a visit from a friend and the passionate fandom foaming in the wake of author Philip K. Dick that gifted me the opportunity to meet today’s guest, Jeff Laprade. Jeff is an engineer, a poet, a writer, and a thinker working on what I can only describe as magic with magnetism. While he isn’t able to tell us what he does, where he does it, or for whom he does whatever it is he gets paid to do, he does share intriguing insights into science and the absolute mystery of magnetism. I’m happy to bring you more audio evidence of just how little I know about the physical world by introducing you to someone who knows a great deal more about almost everything.

Say hello to my creative friend! Mr. Jon Carling is a multi-talented, multi-disciplinary sweetheart. He's an illustrator, animator, writer, musician, woodworker, entrepreneur, and full-time creative. Not satisfied with simply drawing all day, Jon recently opened a fantastic shop/gallery around the corner from my house called Carling Arts. At five feet wide, It might just be one of the most charming tiny creative spaces I've seen. Please share and enjoy this episode with my super interesting neighbor, Jon Carling.LinksJonCarling.comInstagramYoutubePatreonTunes in this EpisodeOscar Aleman - DelicadoJon Carling - Walking Bird Instrumental

Say hello to my little friend, Marie Sebastiano! I met Marie through my friend and Marie's delightful daughter, Carol. Carol has been telling me for several years that I should meet and interview her mom—she was correct! I fell immediately in love with Marie, and I think you might as well. Enjoy this free-range conversation that begins in Brooklyn in 1935, strolls through Las Vegas in the 1970s, and slowly rolls it into South Florida in 2024.

Whoa! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm pleased to present Mr. J. Cobe! A man who, if not prodigious, is at least prodigiously loquacious. I truly enjoy being in J's company. He is a writer, a storyteller, a builder, a helper, and a man quixotically fixated on leading a weird life, squares be damned! I hope you enjoy it; I sure did.

Today's guest is Kona Morris, and I like her a whole bunch. Her many talents and interests include but are certainly not limited to, being a comedian, a storyteller, a traveler, a mom, a writer, an editor, a teacher, an explorer, and a friend. We talk about self-awareness, seeking wise guidance, leaving home at a young age, her views on the past, present, and future, the many versions of self that may exist in other realities, and much more. Tune in for a sweet dose of inspiration. Share and Enjoy!LinksKonaMorris.comInstagramYoutubeTunes in This EpisodeOscar Aleman - DelicadoBeck - Hollow Log

Today's guest is what I call a gentle genius. His name is Randy Polumbo, and I think he might be one of the coolest people I've ever met. He's an artist, a builder, a thinker, a father, a propagator of mycelium, a fan of eating bugs, and a kindhearted creative of the highest order. I met with him at his shop in Brooklyn to talk about childhood toys, owl pellets, the Gowanus Canal, art, sound, and more.

Ohh man...how fortunate are we to live in the same world as today's guest, Erik Lomen. First of all, I only got to meet Erik because of serendipitous timing, bad weather in Cheyenne, WY, a not-to-be-missed Boston Celtics game, my propensity to arrive early for meals, my preference for eating at the bar, and a chance encounter with Erik's delightful and interesting mom, Marcy. Based solely on her hardly disinterested say-so, I drove to Gardiner Maine to spend the day with one of our new favorite people. Erik is the host of "The Myco Wizards Podcast", and founder and brainchild behind the wildly innovative Maine Cap 'N Stem - a supplier of spore-ready substrate for cultivators of mushrooms from Lion's Mane to Penis Envy. This is NOT a stoner, freaky mushroom weirdo episode...well, it is, but it's also much more. Erik is a deeply thoughtful, battle-tested polymath with a heart of red oak; perfect for taking mycelium to all its favorite places. Tune in for a particularly interesting ride.

What can I say about Heiko Greb? He’s a scientist, a sculptor, a skilled wood carver, a seamstress, an ice cream maker, a friend, and much, much more. We had a late-night chat in Bombay Beach, CA, to discuss the Hawaiian alphabet, art, Heiko’s personal history, and more.
