  • The Evolution of Parenting

    It’s Monday and all things are possible. On my morning commute, I was listening to the most recent episode of the Reboot.io podcast in which Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler recounts her early family history and how it made her become interested in conflict, leading her to write her most recent book. As I listened to her story,…

  • Speaking of unspoken games

    The thing I love about HPB and Podcasts is the randomness of them. Sometimes they give you just what you need to read or hear respectively and this morning was one of those times. While I am just 15-20 minutes into it, the most recent episode of The Portal features Agnes Callard, who dropped the…

  • What I’m listening to now

    Here’s my current list of podcast subscriptions, with the ones I listen to most often in bold and newest subscriptions in italics.

  • One Small Step: the lost art of conversation

    A few months back I was lapsing on my commitment to stay off of social media and scrolling through my Facebook feed (<side note> if Apple really want to give people control over their lives again, they should add a feature to screen time that limits the number of scrolls you can have per day…

    Podcast: Appalachian Trail Section Hike part 2

    Kendall and I sat down last night to record the second and final conversation about our section hike of the Appalachian Trail through Shenandoah National Park (part 1 here).  After the hike, the whole family took a week off (in Charleston, SC – highly recommended!)  and it’s been straight back to work for me since…

    Podcast: Appalachian Trail Section Hike part 1

    After years of thinking about it, months of planning and too few practice hikes, Kendall and I completed a section hike on the Appalachian Trail a week ago (or as I like to think about it a through hike of the Shenadoah National Park ;-). We both learned alot about hiking, about ourselves and about…

  • Syntopical podcast listening: why it's so hard to have a real conversation these days

    Despite the cooler fall weather, I’ve still had to mow quite a bit which means podcast listening time.  It’s not all bad though since of late I mostly work from home, which has cut down on my commute related podcast listening time, so about the only time I get to catch up on the 30 or…
