What's News With You?

Hey everyone!! Hope the holidays have been going great for you.  Mine have been...eventful.  Here's a taste of how my Thanksgiving went.  Spoiler alert: it was obscenely graphic.  If you don't like bad trip stories, please refrain from listening to this episode especially if you're my parents.   Thank you and love you all so much! If the holidays are especially hard for you this time of year, I'm very sorry and hope you find strength and love to get through it.  

No intro because the episode is so long.   Please enjoy this slightly edited, very long episode where James refuses to be interviewed.   It's kinda hilarious.   Love you all. Thanks for listening!

Hey friends, This week I had Petie Ronstadt from the band Ronstadt Generations join me and we discussed learning various instruments at an extremely young age, having a famous aunt (Linda Ronstadt), losing his father, welcoming a newborn daughter, having known his wife since the age of 2, and performing his song "Bowl of Dust".  It's beautiful, heartfelt, raw, and honest; and I could gush forever about this guy: he's that good!   Please check out his band's website to find out showtimes and hear their music!  It's Post Modern American West or Tucson Roots in Americana. Trust me, you'll love it.  Thanks for listening,  Jordan

Hey friends, What a blast this episode was just in time for St. Patrick's Day.  I sat down with Chad and we discussed various buzzword topics such as skiing (0:00:48), growing up in Colorado (0:06:54), Parenting skills (0:10:45), International Women's Day (0:17:45), Atheism (0:47:40), and St. Patrick's Day (1:23:42).  It's not everyday you get to speak with someone as openminded as my friend Chad.   Visit his website and find out more about him! www.chadnierenhausen.com   Thanks for listening, Jordan

Hey friends, Join me and Erin as we rip Donald Trump a new one.  It's true. We're not fans of the 45th president and we can't understand why anyone else would be after we list all of the terrible things he's done in office so far.   Erin is also an epidemiologist so she's deals with public health which seems to be headlining the news a lot these days...I wonder why.  Her job is very important now more than ever and she might be the one to save us when all other scientists are killed or bought off.  I'm just kidding...for now.   We also get to meet her dog, Gizmo, who is blind because she doesn't have any eyes.  It's weird at first, but she's an adorable pupper.   Be sure to e-mail me any news you have at JordanAsksWNWY@gmail.com and follow me on Twitter @JordanAsksWNWY.  Your news may end up on my podcast.   Don't forget to subscribe to the channel on iTunes so you never miss an episode!  Love, Jordan

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!! I cover most of 2016 highlights, but obviously I miss some points aka Gene Wilder.    Sorry about that....it was rough.   But on the plus side it's finally over!!  Enjoy getting drunk and making your final bad decisions in 2016.  See you next year! Thanks for listening,  Jordan 

Hey friends, Thanks for being so patient!  Sorry about this random delay.  2016 just can't let me forget what a shitty year it's been.  My car and my laptop had to die at the same time...more about on the New Year's Eve episode.   Anyway, I sat down with my childhood friend/crush/lover/friend again Jordan.  I figured he'd be a great counter-argument to my episode with Kate, but I. WAS. DEAD. WRONG.   It's a Christmas miracle!   Get to know my Mormon friend and how he deals with Mormon culture, moving to L.A., and living in this post-apocalyptic world that Trump is about to take over.  And I'll admit it, he made me goose-laugh...

Hey friends, Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving!  Whether you did or didn't, here is a special episode with my friend Janine!   We talk about food A LOT.  Beginning, middle, and end.  You're welcome! We also discuss her performance in Arizona Theatre Company's Fiddler on the Roof and how relevant it is now more than ever post-election.   Have you ever been bullied?  Was it for being half-Japanese?  Janine has and she has a few stories to share.   Janine also gives a few Italian lessons which will save you from embarrassment if you ever go someday.   All this and more!!  Thanks for listening! FUN FACT: Janine is also an accomplished opera singer in multiple languages. 

Hey friends, Oh boy, I don't know about you, but this last week seems to have lasted a lifetime.  Shit got real when my expectations were completely dismantled and grabbed in the nether region.  You guessed it: I'm talking about 'Murica.  Fool me once, as they say... Thankfully I had Kate come to the rescue and validate my emotions with her (dare I say it?) feminist agenda.  This episode is long, may be hard to swallow, and you just might enjoy it.  It's your choice to hear it, of course.   Please e-mail me at JordanAsksWNWY@gmail.com with questions, comments, concerns, compliments, complaints, etc.  Also please please follow me on Twitter @JordanAsksWNWY.  I'd love to hear from you!   Thanks for listening,  Jordan

Hey friends, This week's episode is near and dear to my heart because I got to sit down with my best friend Megan J and discuss what's near and dear to her heart.  Mainly, we talk about her new boyfriend, meeting the parents, Stranger Things, the most stable childhood you could imagine with two parents who doted on each other, volleyball, and Megan's mom losing her battle with cancer.  Fuck cancer, amirite? I can't get enough of this woman and you won't either.

Hey friends, Time to sit back and sink into the lovely, dulcet tones of my conversation with Lili. If you haven't heard already, she's the reason I started this whole podcast thing.  It's a jazzy mix this week of family, religion, and music: the holy trinity.  Please excuse my incessant laughter.  Literally can't help it when I'm with her.  Good luck trying not to fall in love with her.  It's impossible! Questions?  Comments?  Compliments!  Send them my way to JordanAsksWNWY@gmail.com Follow me on Twitter!!  @JordanAsksWNWY  

Hi friends, In this episode I interview the birthday boy, Beau, who just so happens to be getting married AND just adopted a kitten.  We also talk about the inevitability of death, of course!  Now that fall is in full swing what better way to celebrate than with a PSL?  Beau is an expert on the subject. To cap it off, we talk about friendship.  Being besties and all comes with a lot of territory and jealousy and topic-jumping.  It's what we do best.
