This week on Dear Stranger and Friend I'm talking to my friend Ben (who I haven't spoken to in over a year and a half)who always seems like he's doing something productive. We talk about his trips to Japan over the last year and his passion for photography. It was amazing to catch up with him again and if you want to follow him on social media you can do so by searching Tabletopography on the ol' Instagram!

This week, I'm talking to the very first actual stranger in my life, Kasey. When we first set this up to talk to each other I was nervous at first but this turned out to be one of the most rewarding "first conversations" I've ever had. Meeting new people is hard for me sometimes and I'm glad this podcast made it just a bit easier.

In the last episode (for a while) of Dear Stranger, I talk with my friend Adri. For those of you who know me personally, you know that Adri and I were involved in a long-term relationship that had a bit of a messy ending. We're finally at a point where we can talk about those things with a bit of humor so, I hope you enjoy the episode. Regular episodes of Dear Stranger (and Friend) will return in October.

On the penultimate episode of Dear Stranger (and Friend), I talk to my old buddy, Kyle. I've known him for about 15 years and before having this conversation we haven't talked to each other in almost 2 months. He's slowly becoming one of the most travelled of all my friends and his most recent trip is something we talk about throughout the episode. I hope you guys enjoy this one

This week, I'm talking to a college buddy of mine, Dylan. We haven't spoken to each other in a couple of years but it was still great catching up. We talked a lot about comic books, movies, and a little about video games. It's a bit different than the last couple weeks but that isn't a bad thing by any means. I hope you enjoy.

This week, I talk to my friend Matt. We've known each other through almost all of our childhood and into our young adult lives. But we definitely haven't had a conversation like this in about 5 years. We initially started talking about some of our favorite video games and television shows. But somewhere down the line we started talking about topics that are a little heavier. I hope you enjoy this one.

This week on Dear Stranger, I talk to my old roommate Sinead. We talk a lot about race/gender in general as well as in the punk/alternative scene. We talk a bit about her band Moon Blood, a bit about her poetry zine, and a bit about being an artist. I hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as I did when we recorded it.

This Week, I talked to my friend Alex who is probably one of my smartest friends. We somehow found ourselves talking about video games then movies and how violence is depicted in both of these forms of media. It's a conversation I won't forget for a long time, and I hope you enjoy it.

This week, I talk to my very good friend Vince. He's been in Australia for the past 3 years so I figured I should get him on. This is one of the few conversations we've had this past year and it's one of my favorites (even though we spend some time talking about neo-nazis). I hope you enjoy.

This week, I talk to AJ from the band Houseleaks about being in a band, making music, making a scene, and just about everything related to music. I hope you guys enjoy, this is a good one.
