This week on the Random Waypoints Podcast, we begin with a special report from the front lines of the devastating Spokane, Washington wildfires.

Joining us is Chef Chad White, acclaimed chef, U.S. Navy veteran, Top Chef Season 13 alumnus, and founder of Trail Feast, who gives us a live update from Spokane where he's helping feed first responders, volunteers, and families impacted by the fires. Chad shares what he's seeing firsthand, what relief efforts look like on the ground, and how people can help.

Also joining us is special guest Sir William Goes, one of the overlanding community's most recognizable content creators. Together, we discuss the wildfire response, the outdoor community stepping up during times of crisis, and the importance of supporting those affected.

After our special report, we tackle another full lineup of topics including why the best thing that ever happened to overlanding may have been the industry's slowdown, why overlanders with dogs dominate YouTube, Brad Pitt's upcoming Heart of the Beast, Michael B. Jordan's The Thomas Crown Affair, whether a $50 million T. rex could make Jurassic Park possible, changing restaurant etiquette, and how AI is transforming skilled trades.
