  • Skiing is Dead

    A little talk show format for you today. There's an elephant in the room: Skiing is dead. 

    It used to be great. It's time to take up another hobby. Do you love skiing? We discuss it here in a heated argument between three Colorado natives and friends who grew up on the slopes.

  • This is Water by David Foster Wallace

    The late David Foster Wallace was a legendary, MacArthur-Fellow-winning genius that I really look up to.    His books and short stories are so well-written and his writing will change the way you think about storytelling.     Take a deep dive into his work!

    This episode of replays the commencement speech he did at Kenyon College and talks about freedom, discipline, awareness, American adult life, liberal arts education, and where we, as humans, look for truth.   I wanted to have a place where the audio will be forever, and it will be on this podcast!

    Check out Infinite Jest, The View from Mrs. Thompson's, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, Consider The Lobster, Big Red Son, and all of his good stuff.    All rights and credits for this speech belong to the David Foster Wallace Estate, there is no advertising revenue and this episode is designed for the public benefit.

  • Modern Songwriting and a Music Career | WTH
    Welcome to What The Heck, an occasional chat I have with professional musician and songwriter Zach Heckendorf, a Colorado native and well-known dude here in Denver.
    We discuss the songwriting process (Zach takes us through a few songs on guitar), the state of modern acoustic music in America, the drive it takes to be an independent musician, what Zach has learned from the last 10 years of his career, how he got started as a teen, and what he plans to do with his life.   
    Who is Zach?
    By age 18, Denver native Zach Heckendorf had signed his first record deal, released his first album, played Colorado’s legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre and shared stages with Rodrigo y Gabriela, John Butler Trio, Brett Dennen, The Lumineers, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Guster, and One Republic.   He toured the country extensively for several years and has built a grassroots following this past decade playing in clubs and music venues across the United States.    Over 50,000 people tune in monthly on Spotify and Apple Music to listen to his tunes, and his songs have amassed millions of streams online through those platforms.   He is an example of the driving hustle and resolve it takes to 
    Zach's new album, Hawk Talk, will be released this month!   He is also headlining the Bluebird Theater in Denver on Jan 9!
