Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!

Who’s in the mood for a little day trip into the soul? Tonight’s show finds us taking a little bit of a philosophical journey into the value of roadtrips as little mini-therapy sessions for the good of the soul. Fear not intrepid wayfarers…we will indeed explore a little day trip to tiny town of Calico Rock here in Arkansas.

We definitely stray into “wondering” territory tonight alongside our “wandering”…but that’s what this show has been about all along, right?

I hope you’ll join me tonight to hear all about it!

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!

WHAT’S UP WITCHES?!?!?

It’s spooky season once again, baby! My favorite time of year!

For our 2025 installment, we’re going to take some legend tripping adventures through the Arkansas hills and hollers. From creepy cryptids to inexplicable spooky lights, and from haunted hotels to the last vestiges of hill country folk magic, tonight’s show promises to excite your interests in the legends and lore of my home state. You’ll hear about one famous frontiersman’s alleged encounter with a beast of the night in an ozark holler, a headless brakeman wandering about in search of his gourd, and even some unexplained spooklights that your humble host has observed with my own eyes!

I hope you’ll join me tonight to hear all about it!

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!

This week we are once again going to explore America’s Mother Road, Route 66. This iteration takes us from from Texola to Tucumcari. This little adventure qualifies as Baby Bear’s Birthday Bash - 2025 edition.   

This stretch of 66 plays host to multiple iconic sites that inspired scenes in the Pixar movies “Cars”, as well as icons such as the Cadillac Ranch, the Big Texan Steak Ranch, the world famous Blue Swallow Motel, and much, much more. Join us tonight as I line out the many highlights of this very special section of original Route 66!

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!

This week we’re going to explore America’s Mother Road, Route 66, from Tulsa to Texola, the little town that sends Oklahoma’s portion of 66 on into Texas.

Oklahoma hosts not only its own state museum for 66, but also the National Route 66 museum, as well as numerous Route 66 icons. From ruins to neon and from greasy spoons to vintage service stations, Oklahoma’s 430-some-odd miles of the Mother Road has a little bit of everything!

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!

Tonight we explore an often overlooked section of America’s iconic Route 66 - Southeast Kansas. Kansas hosts only 13.2 miles of Route 66, but that 13.2 miles is all original and hosts one of the most widely recognized service stations and characters in all of Route Sixty Six-dom.

This week we explore northeastern Oklahoma’s “green country”…the Ozark foothills where Wilson Rawl’s classic work is set. Science folks might try to convince you there’s no such thing as a red fern in the American interior highlands, but we natives know better than that…

Join us tonight as we recount my daughter and I’s adventure introducing her to the real world locations of her latest favorite book!

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!

This week we recap my holiday adventures and take a quick trip to a Christmas-light-bedazzled theme park with my daughter as well as a 3-day adventure to southeastern Colorado. There will be gold fields, backcountry byways, people hanging 1,000 above the bottom of a gorge by a single rope, and peeing in parking lots in 20 degree weather! Everything you could ever want in a holiday week!

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!

This week we explore the famous Santa Fe trail through Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico. Outlaw hideouts in the Oklahoma panhandle, trading posts on the trail, abandoned mining camps, infamous cemeteries, and my new favorite food (until I find the next one) are all on tap, and the American Wild West will be won…or at least subdued within reasonable parameters. A birthday…not unlike any other day…is a great excuse to get out and explore!
