The Chilan Show

James Nicholas Martes, Father-in-Law of the Century

Meet Jim, the other half of the dynamic duo that raised my husband. This guy is such a character! But you'll never meet a more tender-hearted man on the planet. Listen along as he shares his story.

Sharon (Eversull) Martes, World's Best Mother-in-Law

My mother-in-law is better than yours... Seriously, she's the best! Join me as she tells the story of growing up in a small town in the Midwest.

Doris (Hobdey) Cox: Life on Camas Prairie

My grandma Doris has always had stories to tell, so I decided it was high time to get her on the show! An Idaho native, she tells about living her whole life on Camas Prairie, what it was like to grow up during the Depression, what it took to raise five kids, and what kids these days should do to be decent humans. I love this woman, and I'm sure you will, too.

Madeline Grace, Essential Employee

My daughter was in town, so I asked if she would let me interview her about being an essential worker while much of the world is under quarantine. Love this girl! Have a listen...

Anna Jolie

2020 has been a doozy...and it's only April! In this minisode, I chat with my daughter Anna about life during the Covid-19 Pandemic. It's my way of recording this historic moment through the eyes of a teenage girl, while trying not to be an annoying, prying mom. Have a listen!
