In this episode, I have the chance to do a one on one interview with Rebecca Bogan, Daughter In Law of David Bogan, A short Story Author from Texas who's book The Onion Fetcher and Other Stories, is a collection of short stories about humorous fishing follies and stories.

David Bogan the author was not able to do the interview because of work commitments, had Rebecca do the interview with me, and I can guarantee, you will not be disappointed with her and her wit.

IN this episode, I talk about the therapeutic aspects of being in the outdoors. We are in need of an escape from all of the political/secular hatred in our society. The pandemic has little kids attempting suicide, others are following through with suicide, drug and alcohol abuse is rampant, and mental well being is at an all time low. We need to be sharing our love for the outdoors with others, whether it be in recovery from addiction, mental disability, or combatting societal pressures, lets all get out and enjoy the outdoors!

In this episode, I talk about the importance of getting your friends into the outdoors, why it's important to get your friends involved and considerations to take when you are getting your friends out and about.

In this episode, I talk about the implications of high angling pressure, large crowds in the outdoors and what we as experienced outdoors people can do to negate the negativity of poor ethics and divisive actions of the few that give us a bad name.

My first interview episode with my daughter Kayla on her perspective on the outdoors and her outdoor experiences, some perceptions of peers and one of her favorite experiences.
