This week we are back, talking about the romance in our relationship! We recorded this on the eve of our anniversary, and Brad felt it would be a fun topic.

We ask the question we have been asked a lot this past week: What do you think romance is? We also dive into some our memories of first getting together and where we are going to go from here once our marriage has been finalized!

We hope you enjoy this episode and take some fun insights from it. This was a bit more silly than usual, but we are truly silly people!

This week we sit down and discuss how it is that we both have dealt with our past trauma. This goes between adult relationships and our childhoods.

Learning to be okay with the past is not an easy thing to learn, but talking about it is the biggest step to understanding. In the world that we are living in, time to sit and think has become almost infinite. 

Here, Brad presents a series of questions that he thought of while reading an article about the best ways to move forward in a marriage, or in general after experiencing trauma. Bethany was not aware of the questions before hand and an interesting conversation takes place. 

We hope that you or someone you know may relate to this conversation as we all have things in our past, and no one escapes childhood without some form of trauma. 


As usual, thanks for listening!

You can find Brad in many different places: BradThePiper.org and piperinabox.com are the usual spots, but he now is streaming live over at twitch.tv/bradthepiper. Bethany has gone back to work for our local school district, but she is still editing children's books at miramarepontepress.com! 

We will see you all next week!

This week we are back, and we decided to try something different. We asked our people on social media (you guys!) to send us some questions for us and we would answer them. Well, here we are!

Metaphors for bathtubs? Metric measurements? How did we blend our families? They are all here. 

With our electric answers, we are sure that you will be on the edge of your seats and listen all of the way until the end! Especially to those bagpipe podcast guys (seriously, you have to listen to the whole thing to get your answer!). 

We hope you enjoy, and maybe even gain some wisdom from our answers. It was a fun experiment, and we cannot wait to do it again!

This week, we have singer/songwriter Nathan Mac! Hailing from Ireland and a background in the circus (that's right, we said circus!!), Nathan spoke with us about what it means to be a budding musician these days. He is SO full of hope, of life, and sweet corn/chile/BB-Q pizzas...??

His quick rise to the top hasn't phased him one bit. In fact, Nathan's desire to put good into the world is downright infectious. Go give him a follow on Instagram @nathanmacmusic, and wait (like we are) on baited breath for the release of his new single, that's sure to permanently secure his place in your heart, as soon as it drops.

His first and current single "Better Off Without You" can be found soaring to the top of the charts on places like Spotify and Apple Music.

Don't forget that you can find Brad's adventures on BradThePiper.org or at PiperInABox.com
And if you're a children's book writer and you want Bethany to take a gander at your manuscript(s) and tell you how awesome you are, go HERE.

This week we are back with a very important person in our own personal story. Brock Lindow of world touring metal band 36 Crazyfists!

Brock was nice enough to sit down and have a chat with us, all the way from Alaska! He was very open about the way his life has gone, no matter the ups or downs. We talk about his love of the Philadelphia Flyers, Chris Stapleton, how crazy it is to have fans in Africa, how he got divorced and finally got to experience love at first sight!

Brad has listened to 36 Crazyfists since he was a teeanger, dating all of the way back to their "Bitterness the Star" album. When our relationship started their song Skin & Atmoshpere (Live clip at the end of the interview) was the first of many songs we shared with each other in our distance across this country. Also, Brad has the first line of lyrics tattooed on his left arm with a rendition of the album cover art done by Alex Sanchez whom you may know from podcasts like, THIS ONE!

You can find Brock on the social media. Facebook he is just Brock Lindow on Instagram you can find him under @Brock36CF. Look for his band on Facebook at 36 Crazyfists and on Instagram @36crazyfistsofficial! Don't forget to check out kwhl.com where you can hear him on the rock morning show!

This week we are back with a good friend, and all around, amazing human being...EJ Jones!

We talk about life as a bachelor on the road, family and support, growing up surrounded by bagpipes and some of the best teachers of the world. EJ talks about the many different hats he wears and why he has always felt at home on the road.

Oh, and EJ will be the man who pronounces us Husband and Wife in just 4 short months!

You can find EJ Jones under @piperjonesband on all social media outlets!

This week we are back with a round of questions for each other. 

We have been hard at work around our house and some of the guests we had planned to interview have been up to some amazing things and are dealing with crunch times. So, we are checking in a little earlier than we expected with some questions that we wrote for each other. You get to hear the answers in real time, we wrote them separately and kept them a surprise going into recording this episode.

This truly was our secret going into making our long-distance relationship work. Hours and hours of asking any random question that would pop into our heads. We still do this, but thought it would be fun to let you guys in on how our communication works!

As always, you can find out what Brad is up to at BradThePiper.org or at piperinabox.com! You can get with Bethany for any editing manuscript needs you may have at miramaremontepress.com!

This week we are back with an interesting little chat with fellow hosts of the podcast Chanter Rant. Andrew Fusco and Josh MacEachern!

Things get a little weird, since these are two people who work together. You could say that maybe they know each other better than any of their partners ever could. We run through a slew of topics from bagpipe band leadership, to their own podcast and how that even started. We also find out that Andy is getting old and just doesn't want to waist time dating someone, but he is lonely. Josh gets drunk about half way in a starts to slur his words as we attempt to get past his game show host personality, but the alcohol was strong with this one!

It was great catching up with these two, and maybe we will get to the heart of some of their relationship issues. If you learned a few new words or all of the sudden you think we are devil worshipers after this episode, we can't blame you! But the truth is, these guys work hard for the things they love to do, and they work well together!

Catch Andy and Josh over at chanterrant.com or check them out with the Las Vegas Pipe Band.

As usual, you can check out what Brad is up to over at BradThePiper.org or piperinabox.com. If you or anybody you know is an aspiring children's book author you can get edits done by Bethany over at Miramare Ponte Press.

This week we are back, talking to each other about all of the things going on in our world. The climate of the world has been crazy. Covid-19 is still a threat, but the #BlackLivesMatter movement has taken center stage after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minnesota.

In all of this, we are learning how to address the issues that are in the news with our children. 2 being from California, and 1 a native Floridian.

During this candid conversation, we talk about all the things that we see as the downfall of what our generation has created for our children and how they are learning from our behaviours, whether we realize it or not. We also probably upset a bunch of our friends and fans with the disagreements we have about how the name of God and Jesus are being brought up in these times. Brad also talks about how something he did was used as a tool to sensationalize something that he never meant it to.

Most important, in all of this...We just discuss how we both feel about the world and where we are at. We love each other and nothing has been better for us than having the opportunity to be near each other in all of this. So, ask your children how they feel loved, are they happy, and most important, what is their perfect pizza? Once you have those answers, turn off everything, order that pizza and just love on your children. We hope you all enjoy this and please, send us those family photos around the dinner table enjoying each others choice of toppings!

You can find all things Brad at BradThePiper.org and piperinabox.com. Bethany is still out there editing those children's books, visit miramarepontepress.com if you have anything you would like to see edited!

This week we are talking to one of Brad's band-mates and his lovely lady. Julian Lambertson & Meghan Cresswell! 

Brad has known Julian for over a decade, as they played as back musicians in a previous band before finding themselves together, once again, in Seven Nations. We finally learn how Meghan & Julian actually met, how Julian once tried to turn himself into a Smurf, how Meghan has an apparent affinity for Fiddling Pirates, and just maybe, pineapple is okay on pizza!

You can find out more about Julian at greenstringmusiclessons.com!

Don't forget that you can find out what Brad is up to at BradThePiper.org and check out piperinabox.com for any of  you drummers out there looking for a professional piper to play along with. Bethany has been enjoying her new venture at Picture Book Critiques where she helps aspiring authors edit their manuscripts!
