Celebrating a remarkable milestone of 100+ episodes and three years behind the microphone, this special anniversary episode offers a candid look at the journey of the Son of a Blitch podcast. From the first podcast recording three years ago with my good friend, Matthew Mitchell, at my kitchen table to holding conversations with rock stars, major motion picture starring actors, multiple #1 NYT Bestselling Authors, and more, this passion project has evolved in ways I never imagined.

The podcast's foundations were laid years ago during my travels with former National Geographic Writer and bestselling author, Harvey Arden, where I helped to interview Indigenous Elders from all around the world. We called ourselves "BridgeKeepers" – preserving and sharing the wisdom, culture and history of our guests, without imposing our own editorial lens. That same philosophy guides my approach today, providing a platform for fascinating voices across arts, literature, music and beyond. Whether sitting across from Jack Carr discussing his latest thriller, chatting with the drummer of Nine Inch Nails, or exploring a new recipe with a James Beard Award Winning Chef, each conversation seeks to uncover what makes these exceptional individuals tick.

Looking ahead to year four, I'm excited to balance the podcast with other creative endeavors, including completing a book about Bob Lemmons – a former slave who became one of history's most famous Black cowboys and worked alongside and ranched with my great-grandfather. 

As I continue scheduling interviews with returning favorites and new voices, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has listened, shared, and supported this journey. Your encouragement has transformed what began as an experiment into a fulfilling mission to connect people through stories that matter. 

If you haven't already done so, I invite you to Subscribe to catch the upcoming interviews with Tim DeLaughter from Tripping Daisy and Polyphonic Spree, and another one with famed chef, Hank Shaw, celebrating his new cookbook, "Borderlands".

I hope you'll join me as we embark on the next chapter of Son of a Blitch Podcast!

Once again, THANK YOU for all the support, my friends!
