If you're looking for THE episode to cover homelessness in the Yuba-Sutter area, this is the one! April, Mark, and Chaya all work in different capacities with the homeless in the area, and each bring a slightly different view to the situation. I really appreciated the conversation and I think you will too. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topic after listening! Enjoy! 

Happy Halloween! I released this one just in time for some spooky stories with the fellas from ONOFF. We also get some great stories from their time on the road. Always a good time with them. Ya, my mic had some technical difficulties (it's gotta be the ghosts!!), but you can hear it all just fine. Enjoy! 

Morty Stein, aka Morty the Mortician, is a mortician, comedian, tumor owner, and an incredible person. We talk about living. We talk about dying. And we talk about the journey between the two. Morty is definitely high up on the list of people I admire, and it was a pleasure to get to sit with him and learn a little more about his life. Enjoy!

Rudy Gonzales is the owner of Rudy's Fantastic Shine, a comedian, a family man, and one hell of a hype man! I've known Rudy for a while, and I really enjoyed talking with him and getting to know him a little more. Enjoy!

Justin France is the owner of Justin's Kitchen - my favorite eatery in the Yuba-Sutter area. I asked him all sorts of questions about the restaurant biz, we talked about his past life as an opera singer, I learned why I can't keep eggshells out of my eggs when I crack them, we drank some pickled beer and talked pickles for a bit, and a whole bunch more! Enjoy!

I was so excited for this one and it did not disappoint. Andre Licon works for the Sutter County Sheriff's as part of the Community Response Team. We talk policing. He answers my dumb questions. And he shares some good stories. It was a really great conversation and this is a great opportunity to get to know your friendly neighborhood Sheriffman.  

Kiara Rose is incredibly interesting. She's an author, public speaker, surgeon assistant, and she's only a junior in college. And she's only 17. We talk about all of that jazz, and we talk about getting bullied, rebuilding after the cascade fire, and a bunch of other stuff. She's impressive and she's going places! 

In this episode we dive in to Courtney Payne's efforts to help people (she organized a wildly successful clothes drive for women), her work life, and her quest to track down her biological father after taking a 23 and Me DNA test and how she is connected to the Black Dahlia Murders. She also runs a Facebook group dedicated to frugality and getting things for free (like a $5,000 trip for her and her friend!). We had a lot of fun in this one! Enjoy!!

Stevie Ten Bears is the drummer for the Irish band ONOFF. We talk about his start in music, touring Europe, and how to perfectly pour a Guinness stout. We hear some fun and interesting stories, learn a little history, and then we veer off to good ol' aliens and conspiracies! I really enjoyed the talk and you will too! 

Super fun episode. Kelly Trudell is unapologetically messy and imperfect (her words, not mine!) and is an absolute joy to talk to. She was the first female fire captain, loves adventure, and is a involved in all sorts of goodness in the community. She also hosts a weekly chat on Facebook with a member of the community. Enjoy!
