The Hall of Heroes Super Hero Museum in Elkhart, IN is a one of a kind museum that is dedicated to preserving and presenting comics and super hero memorabilia from the 1930's to present day. Allen Stewart doesn't a bunch of great stuff but knows his stuff as well. This was fascinating and nostalgic for me. I hope you enjoy the interview and give the museum a visit.

Sam Ludwig is Director of Juvenile Detention for Elkhart County and has introduced Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI). Listen to this episode to learn more about Sam's passion for helping our community.

I've always followed Josh Mandell closely on social media because he's "in the know". He taught me about Reddit and we talked about adventure. Great time and great interview.

Chris Rahe, Patrick Fowler, & Jason Stapls join me in the studio 2 days after te election. The tone was a bit somber but we still had a great conversation and had some laughs.

I had the pleasure of having Katie Neece come to the studio to talk about her art. I made the observation that I thought her art was a kind of Sci-Fi/Gothic style and Katie agreed. Katie is not only making great art but is also teaching art to local students. She also won the Judges Award for her piece "Continuum" which is on display at the Notre Dame Center For Arts & Culture through December 19th. Katie also brought two great paintings to hang in my studio for a little while

Ed Marshall started taking pictures of vintage trucks in 2014. Now he is a featured artist in an art gallery in Buchanan, MI. Find out how he got there and how he is now pursuing his writing passion.

This was originally episode 24. I did a "Special Double Upload" with Starheart as the first interview and Paul Erdman as the second. Because Paul Erdman was the last up, it got a lot more downloads than Starheart. It's been bugging me and I want to make sure Jake & Jess get the exposure they deserve. So, here you go!

Chris Rahe & Jim Kliss join me for a fun-filled look at current events, trends, & Dungeons & Dragons.

Hear how Marshall King got into writing about local restaurants and find out where you can find the best slice of pie in Michiana. Marshall is a great writer and has a great story.

Hear how Linsay Kelly & Rus Standford met and how Rus was steadfast in his efforts to get them to make music together. Hear the beautiful music that Linsay & Rus make together. Hear this interview. It's good.

Sometimes a guest really opens up to me in an interview. Jenni Miller did that perfectly. We talked about art, managing bands, our great community, and her changing from an angry punk rock kid to an adult who lets herself be open to people caring about her.

Cathy Dietz has been giving us the great Seitz & Sounds concerts at Seitz Park in South Bend for four years. She is also a big advocate for the arts in South Bend. Find out about the South Bend Museum of Art and the Artist Mixer coming up on 10/7.

In this episode I talk about why & how I started the podcast, my guests to this point, and some ideas that are brewing for more cool content.

Steve Sult and a group of fellow graduates of John Adams High School are in the habit of helping the community. They do this through an annual variety show called Everybody Has a Story. This is an inspiring episode about a group of people who decided to make a difference instead of taking it easy.

It was hard to put into words how much I loved the "Wild Edges" EP from Shiny Shiny Black. I've put out my best effort in this special review podcast. The EP comes out on the 23rd of this month. You can order it and get some cool stuff at the Pledge Music link below: Wild Edges
