Roam Schooled
Episode 12 Reaired: The Genie is Out of the Bottle
Ep. 26
•
Don't be shocked or surprised, Roam Schoolers.
The email came in yesterday: "On Friday evening, administrators were informed of threats made against the school on social media by a high school student. Police were immediately notified, and the student was questioned by police.
Due to privacy laws and the fact that this is now a police matter, we cannot provide more specifics on this case. We can assure you that this incident is a clear violation of the district’s safety policies and the student will not be on campus pending the outcome of the investigation."
We respectfully re-offer episode12 from one year ago today. In search of some small steps, some common ground in the insanity.

25. Episode 25: The Life of a Lie
35:56||Ep. 25We remember the lies we tell. Sometimes they stick with us for a lifetime. For guest Cheryl Strayed, lies were among the baggage that blocked her happiness until a long backpacking trip afforded her the strength to bring them in to roost somewhere healthy. “Why do we lie” was the initial question. More reasons that you might have thought.
24. Episode 24: To Serve Man?
36:35||Ep. 24We asked hundreds of people about how they encounter the animals they may (or may not) eat. So many conversations, all over the map. We chose these two: A farmer and a meat thinker. Meet Kyrie Eppley and Camas Davis. And be prepared for an "outside" discussion on some of the issue, both ancient and future, around one of our main sources of food: our animals.
23. Episode 23: Home Musonda
28:23||Ep. 23In our Roams, we've met some people with widely varying concepts of home. Some, like Musonda, have taken an incredible journey to get there. The twists and turns in his story are, well, amazing.
22. Episode 22: We Made Santa The Jerk
28:47||Ep. 22In this episode we unpack some of the parcels Santa might not want us to consider, including a conversation with the creator of “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” AND a rapper in Northern Canada who actually got run over by Rudolph. Not your run of the mill holiday special.
21. Episode 21: The Terrible Gift
59:07||Ep. 21In this episode we take back “giving” - a term awash with holiday smarm. We dive deep into the nuance and complications of gifts and explore the nature of generosity with some listener stories and a case study: the “altruistic kidney donor”. You’ll never give a gift the same way again.
Episode 20: The Press VS The Prez PART 2
45:55|We continue our look at the real relationship between the Fourth Estate and the People in PART 2. We interview a public figure (Governor Kate Brown), we go behind the scenes at the New York Times The Daily (Lisa Tobin, Podcast Creator), talk to an Advance Press Lead for the HRC campaign (Natalie Sept, who basically INVENTED SHEETCAKING), and speak with Floyd Abrams, one of the great legal minds of our time, about the 1st Amendment.
Episode 19: The Press VS The Prez PART 1
41:39|We go deep into the relationship between the Prez and the Fourth Estate, spending time with two world-renowned journalists who share one common experience: being publicly scorned by a sitting president. We go behind the scenes with The New York Times' The Daily Host Michael Barbaro, and hear the story of Frank Snepp, who gave up everything in pursuit of getting the truth out there in 1975.
