Imposter? I Never Knew Her.

Imposter? I Never Knew Her.

Robin & John sit down at the mic after a brief summer hiatus to talk about expanding their shared weekly creative practice into writing. Robin has had a handful of experiences publishing written work; John is more or less brand new to the party. Both experience imposter syndrome. But keep writing anyway!  Robin's FreeWrite device: https://getfreewrite.com/products/freewrite-traveler

#021 - Hunting in Hawaii

John and Robin recap their birthday trip to Hawaii, John's hunting in Hawaii . . . and their fight in Hawaii.

#020 - Get in Loser, We're Hunting Turkey

John and Robin recap John's first day of spring turkey, where John harvested a Jake within the first ten minutes of the season! Robin is fascinated and delighted by the idea of antlered does and bearded hens, and or any representation of tomboys in the wild.  John got his Jake within ten minutes of the first day of hunting, so he spent the rest of the day preparing a Steve Rinella-style camp meal of turkey organ burgers on a flat stone over the campfire. (Organs harvested: liver, heart, gizzard, and testicles.) Then, John and Robin, who have the same birthday (April 19; 1976 for John, 1985 for Robin) discuss their upcoming birthday trip to Hawaii where John will spend a few days hunting on Maui while Robin hangs at the beach, and then Lanai, where Robin will spend that same time hunting for the best massage at one of the island's Four Seasons resorts.

#019 - Stages of Learning

#018 - Nuanced AF

Robin and John are back at the mic for their first and hopefully not only episode of 2025. Robin discusses her recent discovery that the knots she ties in macrame and crochet are WAY too tight, almost like she's tying to strangle the ropes she's working with. She wonders if she might need to loosen up, in art and in life. John suggests that it might be part of her mastery journey, learning to tie these knots and practice her craft with nuance. John then discusses the bone-on-bone arthritis he discovered in his right knee a year ago, how he has been rehabbing it, and how it affects his hunting and training. Robin suggests that, because of his arthritis, he now is compelled to approach the hunt with a fair amount of nuance. John likes how that really tied the podcast together.
