Meet Paul Koudounaris, historian, photographer, bestselling author, and explorer of the wonderfully bizarre.
On this episode of MISHEGOSS! Bill and Joya Lord welcome a man whose fascinating work takes him into some of history's strangest corners.
From the remarkable ways humanity honors its dead to the unexpected stories that connect us with the past, Paul's work challenges what we think we know about life, death, and everything in between.
It's fascinating, funny, occasionally macabre, and anything but ordinary.

Our debut episode, and we're not easing into it.
First guest: author AK Alliss, the mind behind a noir where James Dean and a truck-driving Elvis set out to solve Marilyn Monroe's murder. Bill and Joya both narrated his work, so this is less an interview than a reunion. Expect the truth behind that Elvis premise, why geopolitics keeps creeping into his fiction, and the many ways Western Australia is trying to kill him.
Kicking things off: Chief Mischief Maker Johnny Heller and What's Got Your Goat?, a few unfiltered minutes on whatever's needling him this week.
And keep an ear out for The Word That Feeds. If our guest says the secret word, a certain monkey appears and we donate to No Kid Hungry.

A little mischief. A lot of conversation.
Mishegoss! is a fast-paced, cinematic video podcast hosted by Bill and Joya Lord, a married team of professional storytellers who like a good laugh and a deeper dive. Every week we sit down with a fascinating guest and chase life's chaos, creative sparks, and the kind of offbeat stories you won't hear anywhere else. No scripts. No PR fluff. Just real, unpredictable conversation.
And there's a catch. Every episode hides The Word That Feeds. If our guest happens to say the secret word, a certain cheeky monkey pops up and we donate to No Kid Hungry, enough to help provide up to 250 meals for kids facing hunger. Mischief that actually feeds people.
