11. Part Three: "My View from the Porch Swing"

15. History of Pets w/ Rachel and Tonya

With my mother, Tonya, in town for the weekend, I thought it would be a great time to test out my new recording equipment and get a snapshot of a love we share: animals. Rachel, Mom, and I discuss our animal career aspirations, our pets, and hopes for future pets. Hear more and get involved at https://slyhistory.com

This episode's guest is my Dungeons & Dragons compatriot, Carter Eastis.

12. World Cup Predictions

Back in August, I sat down with past guests Dustin (Episode 5 - Soccer) and Jordan (Episode 2 - Dark Humor) to go over our World Cup brackets. This was 3 months before the tournament began and it shows. With the group stages finished but the tournament still ongoing, we thought this would be the most interesting time to look back and see how wrong our past-selves were. And who knows, maybe one of us at least got the winner. Hear more and get involved at https://slyhistory.com

11. Part Three: "My View from the Porch Swing"

Re-upload November 10, 2022. Fixed the cutoff at the beginning and some of the sound levels. This is the second installment of my most recent conversation with Julia Minium as we continue reading and discussing stories from Trish Mudgett’s unfinished book “My View from the Porch Swing." If you missed the first half of this conversation, I suggest going back and listening to Episode 10 first. Get involved and find more at https://slyhistory.com
