After a short hiatus, The Hobby Hangar is officially back for Season 2! In this kickoff episode, Tristan and Connor catch everyone up on what they've been up to during the break, why the podcast took some time off, and what's ahead for the new season.

It's a laid-back episode filled with laughs, updates, and a look at what's to come.

Education, passion, and real conversations all in one episode.

Go give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Finally uploading this week's episode. We had some technical difficulties, but we are back up and running. I will have part 2 available as early access on here tomorrow (hopefully) for you Patreon subscribers. Thank you for the patience, it is much appreciated!

In this deeply personal episode of The Hobby Hangar, Tristan and Connor are joined by guest host Gin as they sit down with Chris for an honest conversation about childhood trauma, navigating life through grief, and finding meaning in the aftermath of loss. Chris opens up about how reptiles became more than just a hobby—they became a source of healing, stability, and purpose during some of the hardest moments of their life.

Together, the crew explores how passion can become a lifeline, the importance of talking openly about mental health, and how caring for animals can help rebuild a sense of direction and connection. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t linear—and sometimes purpose finds us in unexpected places.
