Ramble by the River episodes

  • You Can Call Him The American J.K. Rowling of Austrian-Folk-Music w/ Andrew Lapidus
    This conversation takes the scenic route across major topics: drugs, literature, music, and psychology, and along the way we ramble through stories about coaching, voice training, creativity, and books. We fondly look back on our shared time at Western Washington University as we recount the emotional toll we paid as athletes, and we speculate on the possible skin conditions of one of our better looking professors which led to a discussion on the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi.

  • The Perfect Place to Get Leukemia with Mitch Bolden
    Mitch Bolden's life was turned upside-down at age 27, when his doctors informed him that he was suffering from advanced-phase Leukemia; a deadly form of cancer that attacks blood cells and bone marrow.
    As the cancer slowly grew in Mitch's bones, his attention was on other things. He was focused on advancing in his career in criminal justice, and he was trying to salvage his struggling marriage. Everything changed in an instant when he discovered that he was literally in a fight for his life.

  • Striving to be a Warrior of the Light with Geoff Hylton
    This is exactly the type of podcast that I love. Funny and raw but still hits some really deep topics. The main line through this one is the concept of what it means to be a warrior of the light (a la the book by Paulo Coelho). We both read a few passages from that book and discuss them between giving our opinions on social issues, talking about our recurring nightmares, and discussing some concerns with contemporary pornography.
    Geoff and I were in a groove on this one and we covered all different content areas including: romance, mental health, suicide, pets, movies, and of course crypto. As always, please share, like, review, etc.

  • A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words with Jessica Heriot

    Jessica Heriot stops by the crabshed and we talk about growing up at the mouth of the Columbia River, her photography business, relationships, social medial, and alternative ideologies, mixed in-and-between personal stories and anecdotes. The last half hour is where I launch into the good stuff (conspiracies, aliens, spirituality, etc) and Jessica politely humors me as I go over some whacky shit. She was a good sport and I had a lot of fun.

    We have a lot of good laughs and keep the tone light and easy. This episode is full of stories, shoutouts, and goofiness, but we also go into some of the lessons we have learned from our past mistakes and some of that is more serious. Overall, we cover a lot of ground and have a few laughs along the way. I hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!

    Jessica was a fun guest and she is a very talented photographer. She does family photos, new babies, graduations, and of course weddings. My wife and I have hired her on several occasions and we always love our pictures. If you want to contact her for business inquiries, here is her info...

  • Good Grief! Talking Calculus and Dead Folks with Liz Hylton

    Liz Hylton is a woman of many talents. Not only is she a professor in mathematics, she is also an experienced funeral director, a lifelong learner and a full-time mom. She joins Jeff in the studio to talk about eduction, technology, parenting, religion, and to give a few stories from the vault of personal history. We go deep into topics revolving her work as owner/director of Pentilla's Chapel, and how that has led her to develop certain skills that most people lack. We also cover her work in education, transitioning to remote learning, and her love of Apple devices and the corresponding distain for PCs.

    We also delve into some very personal topics regarding our own lives and mental illness, suicide, and grief. This is amazingly easy to consume, considering the subject matter. Liz is so comfortable with the uncomfortable things in life and she tries to share some of that with me as I squirm my way through some tough conversations.

    This podcast made me feel good about being a human. We are all trying our best and we need to keep supporting one another through the hard times. I love you guys. Keep Ramblin.
