Panhandle Primate Podcast

This is the first episode in our book club series. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk was published in 1999 and has proven to be very prophetic. In this episode Shannon and Dexter are joined by Brad VanVokinberg to discuss this controversial and stimulating novel. If you haven’t read the book and only seen the movie, first shame on you, second the movie and the book are close enough to follow along with the conversation!

Special thanks to Jeff Wyrick for the cover art and Hayden Pedigo for the outro music.

In this episode, we cover our recent life style change from living in the middle of Amarillo, Texas to a rural family farm near Stephenville, Texas. We sum up the exciting changes over the past couple months as well as go over some of the thought processes that led us towards this decision. Part of the reason the podcast went through the recent rebranding was in preparation for this move, even though we weren’t sure it was going to happen, even as it was happening…hence, the title, leap of faith. We hope you enjoy this episode.

This is part 2 of 3 in our crypto series. I have really enjoyed editing this series. With each listen back, I catch something new and often find my mind wondering the possible ways this new technology will be implemented. In this hour, only Kishore and I are talking as Shannon was trying to keep the kids quiet, which created a slightly different feel to this part. Listen carefully and try to begin to imagine how a blockchain could be applied in your profession or hobbies. If you come up with something, hop over to our sub-reddit and we will discuss. Enjoy!

This is part 1 of a 3 part story exploring the topic of crypto currency and DeFi. This was a barn burner of a recording at over 3 hours, which sets a record as our longest interview, and I honestly felt like the conversation could have kept going, the topics were far from exhausted. Our guest, Kishore Yalamanchili, is a pulmonologist by trade and gained a large Facebook following as he gave updates on the covid-19 pandemic in 2020. After attending a crypto meet-up at Dream Chasers Cafe, which he host, I knew I needed to have him as a guest on the podcast. I hope you enjoy this episode. Be on the lookout for part 2 & 3 which will follow soon.

We recorded this episode on a beautiful afternoon in Abilene, Texas. When I contacted Erin Elise Holland about being on the show, she thought it would be fun to interview us. Erin asked us questions about how Shannon and I met and what lead us to get married. The conversation also flowed around some future plans and how having kids changes everything.

Shout outs: Jeff Wyrick for the cover art, Hayden Pedigo for the outro music, and Grain Theory for the delicious food and drink while we were in Abilene.

The mindless mass, as a trope, is always present, and the natural inclination is to imagine that you are one of the few survivors. But why are we, as a society, so infatuated with zombies and apocalypses? In this episode, we explore the deeper side of this seemingly “silly” horror sub genre.

This is the pilot episode. I, Dexter, am joined by my cohost and wife, Shannon, and special guest Milky Mike. We cover what we hope this podcast will be, what is prompting us to do this show, and some of the social context which will influence and impact our conversations going forward. This was the first time we recorded with all our new gear, and as can be expected with Murphy’s Law, some things went wrong. But, a lot of things also went right, and recording and editing this show was a great learning experience. I am excited by this show’s potential and am motivated to do my best to reach for it. Please like, follow, and share wherever you listen. Tell a friend. Reach out to us through our website, or connect with us on our subreddit. I really hope you enjoy the show and join us in this new project. Our number one goal is to start conversations and make connections. Cheers, Amigos!

Shannon and Dexter wrap up the Panhandle Primate podcast and set the stage for the upcoming debut of Their new show The D_Program.

This is only my second show of 2020 and during the span of time that has elapsed, it seems like the whole world has changed. In this episode, guests Austin, Shannon and I discuss snow-piled trampolines, some of the positive sides of quarantine, and the postulation that we might all be cultural refugees. My intent is to develop my consistency in releasing episodes in the coming months as well as improve the production and conceptual quality of this little endeavor. I am really enjoying this process and realize that the more I improve the more likely listeners will tune in. I know that attention is a very valuable thing, so I’m appreciative of yours.
