Jim Huber - Part 1

Jim Huber - Part 1

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. David grew up in small-town South Dakota before moving to Anaheim, California, just as Disneyland was being built. He shares firsthand memories of watching Walt Disney’s dream come to life, along with stories from his time as a Berkeley water polo player, police officer, prosecutor, writer, and husband. This episode is full of humor, history, and perspective — including a few unforgettable law enforcement stories that had me laughing out loud. I’m really excited to share this one with you. Here’s my conversation with David Bultena.

Justin Flaws

Today’s episode is a really special one. I’m joined by Justin Flaws—head coach of the 3A State Champion Carlisle Wildcats. But this conversation goes way beyond basketball. We start at the beginning—growing up in Carlisle, the influence of family, and some unexpected twists along the way… including a journey through music that helped shape who he is today. Then in the second half, we dive into that championship season—what made this team special, the moments that defined the run, and what it takes to build something truly great. It’s a longer episode—but it’s one I think you’re really going to enjoy. So sit back, relax, and enjoy my conversation with Justin Flaws. Listen to episodes and suggest a guest on our website!

Jack Albers & Beth Laws - Part 2

Welcome back to Well, What Do You Know? If you listened to the last episode, you heard Part 1 of my conversation with siblings Jack Albers and Beth Laws, where we talked about their childhood growing up in a large farm family in Iowa—including the remarkable story of their mother having three sets of twins. Today we’re continuing that conversation in Part 2. In this episode, Jack and Beth share even more stories from their lives—what it was like as they got older, how their family experiences shaped them, and some of the moments that stand out most when they look back on those years. As you might expect with a family this size, there are plenty of memorable—and sometimes hilarious—stories along the way. If you haven’t listened to Part 1, you might want to go back and start there. But if you’re ready to keep the story going, let’s jump right in. This is Part 2 of my conversation with Jack Albers and Beth Laws.
