Back for a second showing, my 2017 interview with Astrophysicist,. Dr. Ilan Levine! Listen to his pursuit of dark matter--and check your ego at the door. You probably think you-re smart...but you won't feel that way after this episode!!! And if you'd like help self-publishing your book, I give a quick (HA!) run down of how to do that. All this and more...

From 2017, a guest who does something you may have thought went out of style in the Old West. Cattle Rancher, Cheyenne Smith talks about cattle, life on the range, cattle drives, and everything else involved with the care and feeding of a major source of food in the United States. In the wake of my book, An Industry Worth Fighting For, this is a timely and informative interview!

Another fantastic guest to pull back the curtain on a job you probably know very little about. A former Level 4 Maximum Security Prison Guard, Marty Smith, climbs aboard the bus to talk about what he did for a living. Not for the feint-hearted! Also--real time recording is back! Recorded January 17, 2022

With the rash of recent storms throughout the United States over the past month (or so), I thought I'd bring back an EXCELLENT interview with a professional storm chaser. Just like in the movie "Twister," Scott Landolt follows major thunderstorms in an effort to study tornados. A really cool, informative guest (and great sound quality!0.

We're adding a little class to this gin joint--Master Sommelier, Dustin Wilson, joins the show! He talks about what it takes to become a wine expert--and then levels up to discuss the rigorous training and examination to become one of the few (seriously) MASTER SOMMELIERS in the United States. This is a rare find--and a great guest!

For the big New Year's spectacular, I thought I'd play some of my favorite stories and bits from the early days of the show. Almost in real time, this was recorded at 7am CST on December 27--complete with Rattlesnake Ranch updates, plans for the future of the show, and a special cold open. All good...you're sure to enjoy this one!

Another amazing guest! Hugh Simpson teaches about the art and science (and business) of professional beekeeping. I was blown away as I learned more than I ever thought possible in a short interview. You'll love this guy, and benefit from his expertise. Sit back and ENJOY!

Another interview pulled from the archives! Public Defender, Melody Anchietta, joins the show to talk about her job. When you can't afford an attorney and one is provided for you, she is one of the lawyers who gets the call. Interesting guest and peek into our justice system! Also...Rattlesnake Ranch/frustration update, Mrs. Steve health update, and all the wit and charm you've come to wish was here!
