Big Moe, or Moses Hubert, is a jolly charming man. This interview took some time to set up because his life's rather busy right now. Nothing but hustling 24/7 it seems. But he made some time for me so we met at the central library in downtown Minneapolis and recorded a dope interview.

Katey DeCelle is a co-director for 94.1FM WFNU, a community radio station for Frogtown St. Paul, Minnesota.

Along with programming and running a radio station she works with developmentally disable people to make radio segments. She's my neighbor, relatively speaking, and I'm happy to have her literally giving voice to the voiceless ... maybe not literally, though she may have done some work with people who are mute. Whatever, she's great and this interview was fun.

My friend Luther Bangert is a wonderful person and has had an exciting life. As the title states, he's a Guinness Record holder, tied with Space Cowboy for most balls juggled while swallowing a sword.

But he also memorized pi to a lot of digits. Not a Guinness record level of course. There are some really pi savants that have done it to like 100,000 digits. But still, he's a fascinating person.

Dasia Anderl is bi-polar, queer, trans, and a bunch more that makes up her arrestingly funny personality.

This episode is wonderful. Dasia talks about attempted suicide, finding her love, pushing forwarded, and being stone cold cool. Also, she's really funny and deep.

My high-school friend tells me what it was like being black (multiracial) in a very white high school.

He also tells me the beautiful story about how he was adopted and how he found his birth mother.

In this episode Chef Laura Ford of Innate Foods (online vegan pop ups, hopefully a bakery in the next year) made herself even more interesting by colliding with another figure skater and suffering a brain injury.

She tells us what recovery was like. Also she tells us about vegan cooking and why we should become vegan before it's mandated by oncoming environmental devastation.

Jamez is a friend and a beautiful person. He's got an edge! But in a good way. Some things we DIDN'T talk about are how he's a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of joy spreading drag nuns and what it's like to be a black gay transplant living in Minnesota (Born in AL then moved to NJ, CA, WA, back to CA then finally here in MN). But we DID talk about comics, his dad, a weird story about when he was in the military, and his wonderful pastiche of spirituality.

I have my doubts in regards to alternative medicine, homeopathy, and my guest's area naturopathy. But in sitting down with her for half an hour or so she showed me the motivations and the practices that make this form of healthcare useful.

Also, I have a nice long intro where I overindulge in a long explanation of my thoughts on the false binary of science-based medicine vs whatever the hell naturopathy is. (i'm joking, Dr Kristin Becker does a fine job explaining it.) Enjoy!

Mark Rivard was a sponsor for Sharpie, a ski bum, and is an artist, an educator and an entrepreneur! He also fell off a cliff years ago.

He's a motivated dude and I ask him about that! We talk about suicide, mental health, free will, and that bit where he fell off a cliff.

Tomorrow (the tomorrow of feb 18th 2019) Thao Xiong turns himself in to the country workhouse.

Thao is a complex figure. Addiction to drugs, meth in particular, can hurt a person and those around them - they haven't been great for Thao as well. We talk about getting arrested and his family's refugee story. This interview is about hope and regret, so something in it for everyone! Ha ha.
