The ShoeBox Show | April 26, 2019 | Projects and Purpose with Tripp White

In this episode, we get a little experimental. I take the show outdoors with my good friend and coworker Tripp White to see how the conversation is stimulated by being out under the sun. In a lovely park up in Ashland's southern hills, we talk about what it's like to nude art model, go back and forth about our various creative projects, and jabber about time management and growth while in college, why we make things, using mushrooms to escape bad mental conditioning, becoming your truer self, and finding work that is relevant to you. It's a pretty all over the place but fun to reflect on kind of episode. Check it out! Fair warning, there is a little bit of wind right at the start, causing a bit of whooshing. The problem does not persist.

The ShoeBox Show | April 2, 2019 | Mormon Missionaries; Aliens, Psychedelics, and AI Jesus

In this very special edition of The ShoeBox Show, Steven Papale and I are privileged enough to have the opportunity to speak with two Mormon Missionaries we have befriended. They were very willing to share their thinking on several subjects, and in this conversation, we discuss possibilities of extraterrestrial life, the likelihood of Jesus Christ returning in the form of artificial intelligence, and my pet theory that religious experiences, like that of Joseph Smith, can be attributed to the use of potent psychedelics. It's a really interesting conversation. Tune in!

The ShoeBox Show | March 30, 2019 | Post-Trip Talk with Louis Bengtson

In this episode, I have the privilege of having my good friend and documentary co-star Louis Bengtson on the show. This was recorded just after our return from the Alvord Desert, where we shot our second movie together. In this episode we discuss a wide array of topics, from the newly finished "The Cornucopia Project" to hijinks from the past. Enjoy!

The ShoeBox Show | March 13, 2019 | The World, Large and Small

In this episode, we are joined by Brandon Kelsy, Steven Papale's long-time friend from back in Humboldt County. Brandon is a cross country runner and EMDA major, joining us for an all over the place conversation about the inherent weirdness of religion, favorite spots for various activities, and, of course, some gossip. Created by Keegan Van Hook, featuring Steven Papale, Sydney Cook, Kenny Karter, and Brandon Kelsy.
