This week’s guest: Lindsay Eagar – a critically acclaimed author of three novels. She considers herself a natural-born “Slytherin” with ambition and ethics as values. When she’s not writing you’ll find her with her family and most likely baking. And most importantly - keeping the crumbs out of the butter.

This week’s guest: Seth Dunshee – Utah native, musician, and member of the band, Foreign Figures. Part 1 of a 4-Part Ticked series, we’re interviewing each member of the band as they are releasing new music. The band, by nature, is a collaborative effort – each member plays significant roles beyond their specific instrument. They’ve likened themselves unto the group dynamics of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, all children of the 90s, all bringing their unique perspectives and leadership.

This week’s guest: Lib Montoya – regularly a host of Ticked, Lib takes over the guest mic to discuss his ticks and tick offs. Originally from Arizona, he’s starting to call Utah home where he currently works as the Art Director for a marketing agency in Salt Lake, but he’s not so much a fan of titles. Or bumper stickers. Or messy yards. He’s a cancer survivor – currently three years in remission, a loyal friend, and creative AF.

This week’s guest: Madison Heap – While studying Broadcast Journalism in college, “Mads” needed a passionate project for her resume to fill in the gap from a summer internship. That passion project has turned into a full-time news outlet that recaps the day’s most important news in a minute while not being confusing, depressing, or biased. Minute with Mads makes the news more simple to understand and a lot easier to stomach.

This week’s guest: Ashley Hatch – Professional soccer player in the NWSL (currently on the Washington Spirit squad), fellow Arizonian, and Rookie of the Year recipient. One thing you’ll love about Ashley right off the bat is that she grew up learning and progressing through soccer, she wasn’t born with a ball at her feet. She pushed her ability at every stage, and even off the field had to email recruiters and invite them to her tournaments. Ben and Lib saw her play in Utah for the US Women’s National Team, saw the inspiration she was for all aspiring soccer fans at that game, and knew she had to be on Ticked.

This week’s guest: Braydon Ball - photographer for Maverik, Adventure’s First Stop. Braydon loves experiencing life. Whether that’s being somewhere in the outdoors, watching a broadway play or photographing someone in their element - it’s all about being in the right place at the right time. You’ll finding him out and about on his adventures, trying to capture authentic moments.

This week’s guest – Lib and Ben. It’s a stoppage time, where the hosts kick back, relax, and pick a theme that has us ticking. This week: Junk food, which could include gas station food, unhealthy food, road trip food, and everything in-between. We talk ticks and tick offs around chips, pastries, beverages, candy, and candy bars (those two are different). We may argue a little over candy posters and Halloween traditions, and you’re all sweet tarts!

This week’s guest: Tyler Howells - founder and president of Cozy Earth, a premium luxury bed linens brand. Basically, he helps people have the best sleep ever and works directly with bamboo harvesters in China. This was all made possible by knowing Mandarin (just imagine a 6” 3” white guy speaking Mandarin) and loving the culture. Tyler focuses on not getting too high, or getting too low. Life is about how you handle the universe. He wants to help others fulfill their potential as he fulfills his own and enjoying the journey, because you will never “reach” your destination.

This week’s guest: Ben Croshaw, an instructional designer, film fanatic, and RSL season ticket holder. Ben, or “Crosh,” hosts a podcast, sings, attempts to play the piano, and will defend the luxury loungers at Cinemark ’til the day he dies. Ben lives by his theme: classic | creative | professional | simple – it guides his work, his design inspiration and output, and even his ticks and tick offs. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, and if you’re not sticking your neck out every once in a while, you’re not doing your job.

This week’s guest – Brady and Megan Parks from The National Parks band. Brady is the frontman, and Megan backs him up on a mean violin. Originally forming in 2013, the band has been through a couple talent changes, but after hearing Brady and Megan’s love story, it sounds like those two are committed. We cover skiing, allergies, spirit food, man colds, air hand-dryers, and band names. They’ve toured all throughout the US, but “At The Heart,” Rexburg, ID will always be one of their most special “Places.”
