Akinola runs the Siparia Deltones youth program, and is an arranger, performer, and composer of steel drum music from Trinidad and Tobago.  It was a joy to talk with Akinola about his mission in education.

Mike is a magician living in Columbus, OH.  Always great to catch up w/ Mike and talk about the issues of the day.

Dr. Michael Bump is my first college teacher at Ohio State.  He now teaches at Truman St. University and is one of my favorite people on the planet.

Mike is the leader of a doom metal group called YOB.  James wrote him a contemporary guitar solo.  Worlds collided and amazing stuff came from it.  I learned a ton from talking to them both about the diversity and acceptance in the metal world of other genres.  Hope you enjoy this chat.

David and I chat about the recent Roe v. Wade decision as it pertains to his religious belief as a reformed Calvinist.  I have lived in or beside Lutheran Churches for the last 15 years, so this chat was interesting for me.  David is a good soul and we (as thoughtfully as we could) worked through the myriad issues surrounding abortion.
