Well, What Do You Know?

Jim Huber - Part 2

Welcome back to “Well, What Do You Know?” I’m your host, Eric Padget. Today is Part 2 of my conversation with Jim Huber — and if you enjoyed the first episode, you’re really going to love this one. Jim is one of the most interesting people I’ve had the chance to sit down with. In this episode, we talk about his trip to England, visiting Stonehenge, life on his farm, raising sheep, making maple syrup, keeping bees, writing poetry, and creating all kinds of unique homemade products. But beyond all of that, this conversation is really about curiosity, lifelong learning, family, and appreciating the people and experiences that shape us. Jim also shares some incredible stories about his parents, the teachers who influenced him, and the advice he would give young people today. So settle in and enjoy Part 2 of my conversation with Jim Huber.

Welcome to Well, What Do You Know? I’m your host, and today we begin Part 1 of a fascinating conversation with Jim Huber. Jim grew up on a farm near Albia, Iowa, but his journey has taken him into archaeology, geology, environmental research, and even forensic science. Along the way, he’s worked on archaeological sites across the country, studied ancient environments through pollen analysis, and even assisted in a real criminal investigation. This episode is full of incredible stories, unexpected twists, and a lifetime of experiences. Here’s Part 1 of my conversation with Jim Huber.

David Bultena

Welcome back to Well, What Do You Know?. On this episode, I sit down with David Bultena for a conversation that covers nearly nine decades of life experiences and stories.
