On this Friday Thoughts episode, I’m checking in on what’s been sitting with me this week. I talk about preparing to read my grandmother’s eulogy, thinking through grief, family, and the time we get with the people we love. I reflect on carrying regret without letting it harden you, how memories can feel both heavy and grounding, and why this season has pushed me to slow down and be more present. I also look back on a full week of daily episodes, what podcasting has become for me, and where On the Streets is headed next. Thanks for being here.

This episode is the first in-car interview for On the Streets with Spokast!. I’m cruising around Spokane with my friend Jáiz Boyd, talking about creativity, authenticity, and what it looks like to stay intentional with your time and work.

We get into Jáiz’s focus over the past year, his approach to community-driven design, Spokane spots that matter, and the role collaboration plays in building something meaningful.

In this episode, I reflect on gratitude, paying attention to the lessons life keeps putting in front of us, and why slowing down matters. I shout out T.S. The Solution and his new track Enough Is Enough featuring Dravis, talk through studio life and meaningful conversations, and explore the idea of “the field”—the belief that life keeps nudging us until we listen. A reminder to be kinder, appreciate the people around us, and value the small moments. Peace.

In this episode, I talk about the joy of discovering artists before they blow up—specifically my early days finding Panic! at the Disco on MySpace and how A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out became part of the soundtrack of the mid-2000s.

It’s a good Monday in Spokane. In this episode, I talk about a low-key weekend with the kids, youth basketball and why getting kids into sports early matters, and the Inlander Best of the Inland Northwest voting kicking off again. I also head into the studio to record The Perimeter with Adam Morrison, talk Gonzaga hoops and what this stretch of the season means, and share some excitement about trying my first in-car interview soon.

And yes—the Seahawks are headed to the Super Bowl, which puts me in a very good mood. A little Spokane pride, a little sports joy, and a reminder to appreciate the good runs while you’re in them. Peace.

This episode is just a memory. I talk about my grandmother, Wilma Jean Dooley, the moments that stick with me, and why we shouldn’t take our time with family for granted. A quiet reminder to appreciate the people who shaped us while we still can.

After a short break, I’m back on the streets—starting the day at Millwood Grocery and Spirits and heading into a busy one at the studio. In this episode, I talk about Gonzaga hitting a wild milestone with 29 straight 20-win seasons, why we shouldn’t take that kind of run for granted, and what it’s like recording multiple podcasts in one day—including getting If Not Now, When? rolling again with a great local guest.

I also dive into the newly announced Oscar nominations, what I’m rooting for this awards season, and why movies (and Hollywood in general) are worth celebrating. A little Spokane pride, a little studio life, and a lot of love for great films. Peace.

In today’s episode, I make a stop at one of my favorite neighborhood spots, Millwood Grocery and Spirits, talk about why local convenience stores matter, and somehow turn a routine car wash into its own little adventure. I also share a parenting moment that came out of watching the Golden Globes, which turns into a bigger conversation about kids, pop culture, and the stuff we grew up on.I also shout out a couple podcasts close to my heart—Disney Junkie, where we’re diving into Sword in the Stone, and Super Nineties Brothers, where we keep reliving the movies that shaped us. A little Spokane, a little nostalgia, and a few reminders to enjoy the small moments along the way. Peace.

It’s a Monday in Spokane, and I’ve got a full case of the Mondays. In this episode, I talk about Spokane weather doing its usual thing, heading into the studio to record The Perimeter with Adam Morrison, and recapping Gonzaga’s recent run with a look ahead to WSU and Seattle U. I also dig into the Golden Globes TV winners and give strong recommendations for The Studio and Adolescence—two very different shows that are both absolutely worth your time. Weather, hoops, great TV, and a little Monday energy to start the week. Peace.

On today’s episode of On the Streets, I’m back in the car after a big Spokane snow that’s already turning the city into soup, talking about why this daily-style podcast has been such a joy to make and why “don’t yuck other people’s yum” has become a rule at home. I shout out the Inlander and why Spokane is lucky to have a free weekly guide to what’s happening around the city, head into the studio to record with the Chess Not Checkers crew, and reflect on how intentional conversations — whether through podcasts or just talking things out — can be genuinely cathartic. I also dive into pop culture with the Golden Globes coming up, share three must-watch movies from the year, and make a case for getting off your phone and back into a movie theater. A little Spokane love, a little studio life, and a little pop culture joy — that’s the vibe today.
