  • Bonus Ep: Will Duncan: Indian ragas

    We take some brief time to review our band history together(The Brambleberries, The A.M., and  Kirtan groups). Mainly, Will discusses his extensive musical training in India and tells some amazing stories about his time in the classical Indian music scene. Pretty wild stuff! If you have ever wanted to understand the deeper roots of ragas, this show is for you.

  • Ep 18: Will Duncan

    Will we get into some deep topics? Will we talk the talk? Will we laugh out loud? Yes, yes, and yes! Will Duncan a man of a thousand lives. He is a dear friend and gifted teacher. Normally, i can think of some quick witted ways of delving into my guest's character, and for this episode I am going to highlight how great the Will Duncan is by borrowing the bio from his website:


    Will Duncan has taught throughout the world including Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, South America and throughout the United States.  He is a lecturer, meditation teacher,  yoga  instructor,  retreat leader, and lavender farmer. At the age of 14 he met his teacher, Murray Rogers, and began a 23 year apprenticeship with him studying the world’s scriptural traditions as well as a systematic approach to meditation. In 2010 Will completed 7 years of training in the open and higher teachings of the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Upon completion he entered a traditional 3-year meditation retreat where he engaged in silent and solitary deep practice from 2010 - 2014. Upon completion of retreat Will was asked to begin teaching by his lamas.
    Following in all of his teacher’s footsteps, Will’s passion is in bringing to life the relevance and living profundity of the scriptural traditions.  Deeply devoted to the Mahayana and Bodhisattva ideals of the cultivation of limitless compassion, Will draws on various traditions to shed light on the potential and urgency of waking up into our day-to-day lives.
    Known for his down-to-earth humor and ease, Will teaches by way of inquiry and lively discussion pushing students to think clearly for themselves and to uncover their own insights.

    Enjoy the time together with us.

  • Ep 17. Ash Ritter: Herbalist and Plant Friend

    Ash Ritter and I hang on the porch with herbal teas galore and romp through her past. She is a master herbalist and has such extensive training and unique experience with plant medicine. We spend time talking about where she grew up and her artistic, musical family, her father's music past and him drumming on Purple Majesty, the first record produced by Joey Ramone! We discuss some fun plant medicine friends such as chamomile, schizandra berry, yarrow and more. Check out her candy of the month club and get some!

  • Bonus Ep: Doug O'Donnell: pre-Internet & smart partying

    We just couldn't stop the recording process so here is an entirely extra chunk of the post show fun we had.  Nostalgia and the memories we make in youth. The times of more spontaneous get-togethers. There was even more after this but we didn't record it. I guess it is somewhere in the ethers floating around for someone to hear on a distant star.

  • Ep 14. Eric Wagner: Permaculture, Puppets and Poo

    Wagdog, as I know him, came by for a visit and we got to squalking! One of the first guys I met when I moved to Tucson back in 2003, we have slowly gotten to know each other over the years and worked together on many musical puppet projects. He was a founding member/puppeteer of Tucson Puppet Works and a very knowledgable brain on Permaculture. I also think Eric is one of the wittiest people I know. Pull up a throne and let's get to the goods.

  • Ep 12: Early 90's smorgasbord party

    My old friends Matt Tarditi, Erik Price, Adam Bozarth, and I all reminisce and wax nostalgic on our time growing up as tweens in the early 90's. This was the time of shopping malls, Exhilarama, the cineplex, Sega Genesis, ball tag, and play-o all day-o! Join us in the fun on this belated swan song to the 1990's.

  • Ep 11: Justin and Jesse Moynihan

    Two of my favorite brothers join me for a cannonball run through the past. We get into where they grew up, the origins of music, Philadelphia time at New Planet collective. And get a load of their amazing band names from days of future past: Anal Sausage, Hiroshima Nagasaki, and Make a Rising. Jesse was storyboarder/writer on the epic cartoon "Adventure Time" and art director on "Midnight Gospel." Justin is an inspired rock climber, woodworker, musician, artist, and he's single and ready to mingle(at least the time of writing this).
