True Stories and Other Damage is an antidote to the social woes we all labor under. Our discourse as intelligent humans does not fit it to 180 characters. These long form conversations highlight our similarities, help us benefit from our differences and give us a path towards Kokua. Cross pollinating social networks helps expand our collective knowledge and expose everyone to new ideas and perspectives. Every person will find items in these conversations to take issue with. However exposing oneself to different ideas and perspectives can only help us understand each other in a deeper and more meaningful way.

So enjoy your cardio workout, cleaning your house, your commute or wherever you listen to podcasts and check out stories and conversations from fellow humans around the world. Who knows, maybe one day we will sit down with you.

Jim and Troy are dead.  Born from their ashes are Lake Superior Aquaman and Robot Rickshaw.  Two of Duluths Weirdo Royalty join True Stories and Other Damage to discuss the anarchist project People's Free Skate and their "don't try this at home" adventure piloting a Lake Superior ice berg.

I met Hans Ingebretsen in Reno NV and have been trying to pin him down for a podcast ever since!  Nothing more to say than to check out this episode!

I met Rey by walking into his muay thai class in Ely, Nevada.  After a warm welcome, I participated in my first muay thai class.  I loved it, and I learned quite a bit in the short time there. Rey and I met in the basement of the Hotel Nevada and he shared his story with me.  Give it a listen! If you live near Ely, NV get over to Sain Dae Muay Thai and start training!   Find Rey at; https://www.facebook.com/groups/saindaemuaythaiacademy/   www.saindaemuaythaiacademy.com

Professor Carr is a powerful force in the AJJF.  It was a great honor to have her on the podcast at the 71st Annual AJJF convention in Chicago, IL.  I'll let Professor Carr speak for herself.  Enjoy! http://reddingjujitsu.com/index.html
