a one-minute explanation of what is going on and why I am behind in airing episodes.

Continuing 2025 Sweeps, we have another Reddit Stories episode, this time the sub-Reddit is called 'I Can't Believe I Did That!'

Continuing with Sweeps Period 2025, we have Part 2 of a 3-Part Series with JoJo Bear. JoJo is a Somatic Sex & Intimacy Educator in the San Francisco Bay area. JoJo uses somatic coaching, sexological bodywork, and hypnotherapy as tools to help people get out of their "heads" and into their bodies! His commitment is to create an environment where men, single or coupled, can feel safe enough to explore their wants, needs, and desires around their body, sex, and sexuality!

Continuing Sweeps 2025, I know that many of you have not had the opportunity to ever listen to the Jockstrap Stories podcast. I have used that show to put out my two novels as audiobooks.

My original book Northridge High Football Camp, is on the podcast in its 12-chapter entirety.

I just started putting out the first chapters of the sequel book, the 20-chapter The Guys of Northridge which picks up 10 months after the conclusion of the first book. This is a more comphrehensive book in that it takes the original 6 characters and gives them their own backstories and adventures, giving you a deeper understanding of the characters and their motivations.

I hope you enjoy this peek at the new book. Thanks so much for listening to it!

Continuing where 'A Day That Changed My Life' left off which had discussed my Elementary and Junior High experiences, this concludes with stories about my Senior High School days.

From my social life picking up when I joined the Music and Drama Departments, to my first car and the problems that developed from my too frequent skipping of school, these four years began to form who I ultimately became and taught me important life lessons.

I hope you enjoy this episode!

In this episode I tell a STORYTIME about something that happened to me in the late 90's.

I hesitated to tell this story because almost all of my friends thought I was being an idiot. While I often cop to being an idiot, perhaps in this story I wasn't one? I do ask for your opinion if your podcast player allows comments. If not, you can reach me at [email protected].
