Yakking With Yordy

Ep11: Merry Christmas

Hope you enjoy this short Christmas episode. I share some fun stories from Christmases past, a personal tale of a family member that passed away, and I even included 2 of the songs I released this year. Merry Christmas! Yakking With Yordy will be back sometime in 2018!

Ep10: Ben Peeples of I Am Spartacus

On this episode of Yakking With Yordy, I had a fun conversation with I Am Spartacus lead singer Ben Peeples. We talked about the direction of the music industry, trying to make it as a pop punk band and we even realized that both of our former bands recorded in the same studio with the same producer. I hope you like it! Subscribe and share.

Ep9: Joel Hanson of PFR

Joel Hanson’s songwriting as the lead singer of PFR and beyond is what sparked a desire in me to be a songwriter more than 20 years ago. It was my privilege to have him on the show and learn about some of the history of PFR as well as his latest solo album, Let Me Tell You Everything. You’ll also get to hear about that one really embarrassing time when teenage-me thought PFR could benefit from my songwriting skills.

Ep8: Leanor Ortega Till of Five Iron Frenzy and Urban Skye

This week Five Iron Frenzy saxophonist Leanor Ortega Till joins me on the podcast and we talk about the early days of Five Iron Frenzy right up to present day, as well as her side project The Fast Feeling. I also got to learn about the creative ministry Leanor is involved in called Urban Skye. I’m always interested in hearing from people who are finding different and interesting ways to live out their Christian faith and this interview was certainly no exception to that. Thanks for listening!

Ep7: Board Game Designer Seth Van Orden on Faith, Family and Productivity

This week on the podcast I’ve got board game designer Seth Van Orden on to talk about designing games, balancing work and family time, and some of the misconceptions he deals with as a Mormon. Seth is the co-designer of the popular board game Stockpile which is one of my personal favorites. During the podcast, Seth reveals that Stockpile wasn’t originally a stock trading game! His company Nauvoo Games has also been busy with two new games as well. Subscribe and listen to find out all about it!
