15: I’d Like to Thank the Little People
The holidays are mostly done! Have you enjoyed them? I often wonder what it’s like for people who have no religious connection to any of the holidays being forced to encounter them. Also, why is it all of the big movie bosses seem to have little people as their labor force? Santa, Willy Wonka, Keebler Cookies? Where is the logic? I’m not making resolutions this year but I do have a couple of goals. One in particular which I think is very restricting. Maybe you’ll make it a goal too. Thanks for listening everyone!
14: Lubricating the Pole
This is the last show before Christmas. Is it our Christmas episode?? Nah, I don’t think there is a proper Christmas episode this year. Nonetheless, I discuss Santa Claus and becoming an unbeliever. Also, you probably don’t know everything you really need to know about the North Pole. So, in honor of the big fat man, here are some facts for you. Geez, I really shouldn’t talk about myself that way, should I? Merry Holidays everyone!
13: In Your Face, Kringle!
Happy Christmas and Hanukkah week, everyone! Today I demonstrate the difference in “knowing something” and “learning something.” I learned a lesson in a Christmas carol that I’m not really fond of but it taught me something pretty valuable. Hope you’re feeling well this season. Hope you’re doing well. As always reach out and say “Hi” if you feel the need! Enjoy!

12: Because I Could Not Stop For Death with Guest Maria Fernandez
In this episode I bring in a special guest to discuss death. We try not to be too morbid about the whole thing, but Maria just went through the death of her mom and has some valuable experience and advice to share. Plus, she’s my wife and it was fun having her in the studio. Hopefully, no one else has to die before she comes back.

11: Trashing Old Stuff
Today I had a small panic attack about boxes of old stuff. We all have to confront our old stuff at some point and figure out if we’re going to trash it or keep it stored somewhere. I think it’s time for me to confront some bad habits I’ve developed. Can it be that real people are more valuable than protecting my own ego? Holy crap, how can that be true? I send out my first album reviews in this episode. Christmas albums by Amanda Shires and Billy Idol come under the examination spotlight. Hope your holidays are going well, my friends. Keep in touch!

10: The Earl of Sandwiches
Full disclosure: I recorded this entire episode in 20 year old pants. I think back, fondly, on my dad’s Little Debbie cravings and wonder if there is something in the DNA. My own cravings have recently been pulling me toward sandwiches. I whip out some 3 and 3 for your morning entertainment. Please subscribe to the podcast if you haven’t already.

9: Say My Name
Do you ever discover something about yourself and you just dont know why it’s there? But you know it is there and maybe you should hold it up to the light and examine it. There are so many of those things about me like that I constantly discover. Also, maybe take some time to figure out what is happening with holiday traditions we mindlessly observe. Never hurts to know.
8: Anniversary Booty
Yesterday was my anniversary. I innocently went and bought a card for my wife and then… aw man, now I feel like a creep. What’s wrong with me? I don’t deserve my wife. I need some counseling I’m pretty sure. Why couldn’t I just get a card and get out?
7: It’s Beginning To Look A Lot
Thanksgiving is history and I ate way too much. Instead of thinking about my gluttony, best move my focus forward to Christmas where I can participate in greed. I’ve pulled out my box of Christmas movies and I’m ready to start the marathon. Do you have favorite holiday movies you have to watch every year? I present my own lists here, not just my favorites but also the ones I despise. I wonder which list your favorites are on. Stay in touch friends. I’d love to hear from you.
6: Interview with Dann Gunn
Dann Gunn co-created the theme music to Apocaleptic. He’s been a musician most of his life in bands such as “The Square,” “Velocipede” and as a solo artist. You can listen to most of his music on his BandCamp site or at danngunn.com. We both were dedicated young Christians in our early life and had similar artistic influences and listened to many of the same Christian bands. In the interview we discuss keeping faith, losing faith, living life as an artist and staying inspired as a creator. The interview makes the show run a bit long but it’s a podcast and we can do whatever we want. I hope you enjoy it.
