Talks on the John

Christa's a long-time friend of mine who recently got back from living in Australia for the past 3 years. This episode is full of silent pauses, talks of wombats, and the occasional family interruption, so I recommend grabbing a snack and setting this particularly-long episode to speed and a half as Christa lets me talk to myself for nearly an hour and a half.

James and Heath are some buddies of mine from Little Rock that actually run their own podcast called "The Man the Dude and the Guest," it's a great weekly listen if you're looking for something to fill the time between my podcast releases. These boys are hilarious and this podcast was a breeze to record, never have to think twice about a topic with them, and it's definitely one of my top 10 favorite episodes, so give it a listen, you might learn a thing or two.

Jayson is one of my good buddies that I met at Tech last year just before he graduated. He was the student body president, runner-up for the spring 2019 intramural Spikeball tournament, and has now graduated with a bachelor's in emergency management. He's been living in Oregon for the last 4 months but managed to swing by and record an hour with me while he was in town for the holidays. -- There was a minor issue with Jayson's mic from minutes 41-50 so his audio is a bit quieter, but I left it in for anyone who wants to hear those 9 minutes.

Douglas was my youth pastor in high school and is still the youth pastor at the Bible Church of Little Rock. Douglas played a major role in me becoming the person who sits before you and records this podcast today. Had a few minor technical difficulties this go around so it'll occasionally sound like my microphone is in a bucket, but it's probably worth enduring.

Grant and I grew up together, and these days we share interests in photography, film, and stories of my brother Stephen. There's probably more about cameras in here than you want to know, but I also accidentally surprised myself with some profound stuff toward the end, so maybe it'll be worth your time.
