Cody came on the show to help us parse out the ins and outs of currency and somewhere in there we spend some time questioning the meaning behind what we value.

OK, this episode is kind of a big deal for us. One of our founding goals for A2Z was to have a rep from Big Thicket or the Village Creek come on the show and we finally made it happen.

And we couldn't have asked for a more exemplary spokesperson to drop some Big Thicket knowledge than Megan Urban, Chief of Interpretation at Big Thicket National Preserve. Which is mostly all of East Texas. If you listen to this podcast, you most likely live in the Big Thicket.

They don't want to end the oil industry, they don't want to take any jobs, they just want to know what the hell is in our air and water.

What would you think the hardest thing about farming is? There're the pests, the weather, but alas it is the customer that seems to be the biggest hurdle. How do you get through to people who have been spoiled by the constant availability of produce through major supermarket chains? Apparently the answer is one pound of tomatoes at a time and over a thousand pounds a week.

Bring on the augmentations and where are the damn hoverboards?! Dylan Newton combines cameras, computers, and craftsmanship to make the future a reality in his photographic works. We talk about what lead him to the cyber aesthetic and how he creates.

You might have noticed that we've been laying fairly low (failing fitness challenges). We've been relocating the studio to a larger space and will be around for quite some time. Thanks for all the support SETX. We wouldn't be here without it. ❤️

Back again is our favorite local science-guy, the "Deep Sky Dude" Will Young, President of the Astronomical Society of South East Texas.

Since his last visit, his footage has been featured on the Discovery channel, he's attended a few NASA launches, and gained over 100K followers on Tik-Tok of all places. Sit down and strap in, it's time to talk star stuff!

Wether sailing the seas, securely surfing the web, or cataloging one of his hundreds of period accurate outfits, Brian is in no danger of running out of interests. We sat down with the most interesting dude in Beaumont to have some beers and a conversation.
