Sofia and I regularly find something interesting to do a Deep Dive on. It regularly takes us on numerous more dives before it's all over and this episode is no different. We originally were going to talk about Hank Williams's crazy and tragic life. Along the way, we talked about Neanderthals, genetics, food, horses, dogs, cats, wolves, some family history, cars and film. Enjoy!

In this episode, I talk with paramedic, Katie Godfrey, NREMT-P about her journey to becoming a paramedic. In the process our conversation hits on multiple subjects including the perception of women in tough jobs, choosing a profession that fits her life and family goals, setting down roots, and of course, a passion for community and her profession. Note to the squeamish, we do touch very briefly on subjects that can be uncomfortable, but this episode is inspiring and provides a lot of food for thought!

Richard Foss is the Executive Director of Collage, in the quaint Harbor port town of San Pedro, California. He is also a culinary historian and board member of the Culinary Historians of Southern California; and the author of both fiction and non-fiction works, including two books on food history: "Rum, A Global History" and "Food in the Air and Space: The Surprising History of Food and Drink in the Skies".
In this episode, we talk about the eclectic, inclusive and joyous atmosphere of Collage, the difficulties of bringing attention to San Pedro's thriving and vibrant arts community, and the lifesaving qualities of music. Richard also provides a bit of insight into his writing process, as well as some understanding of food culture and history.
Please consider donating your unused instruments to collage's Instrument Program which puts instruments into the hands of high schoolers who's music careers would otherwise, end without them; as well as those who have moved on from violence, abuse, and other challenges.

Don Atwood is a sailor, photographer, adventurer and one of the smartest people that I know. He's also a lot of fun and longtime friend. In this episode, we talk about the epic sailing adventure that he embarked on in March of this year. Since leaving from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on March 19th, he and his sailing partner, Julie Dunne made landfall on Aprill 11 in Hiva Oa (French Polynesia). His last post is nearly two weeks ago, so I think that they are somewhere off grid, traveling through the South Pacific.
Listen to Don's preparation for this brazen adventure... everything from planning to provisions to getting his boat, First Light in seaworthy shape; to his expectations on the sea and once he makes landfall... and how this adventure has gone from a three month journey to the possibility of a 5 year world trek!

Week 2 diet update and then we continue my talk with my cousin, Gina Brissenden, a former Astronomy Educator turned extraordinary gardener. In this episode we talk about the healing qualities of gardening and how her garden saved her from a painful and debilitating autoimmune disorder, as well as processing a medical leave from work and eventual retirement. The many lessons of gardening: from learning acceptance, to learning who one is. And then… there’s the whole discussion about our love for donuts!

This is part II of my talk with Stephen Jay Morris, cofounder of the band, Benedict Arnold & the Traitors, political commentator, music aficionado. He is a product of what is arguably one of the most tumultuous times in America. He’s also a proud, self-proclaimed Boomer with his own podcast that’s called, “The Late Boomer”. And, through all of these experiences, he’s found that life is beautiful despite its challenges.
In part one, we covered the key events of the 50’s, 60’s & 70’s that influenced his music, writings and creative expressions. His commentary puts you at the heart of that era, as experienced in Los Angeles. In this episode, we dive into his musical journey through three bands and get a taste of the depth of his musical understanding… which you can find more of on his FaceBook page, Adventures In Garage Land. You will also hear how he met his wife, Pamela and more.

Stephen Jay Morris is one of the most enigmatic and creative friends. This first of a two-part episode is about music, art, poetry and growing up in 1960's Hollywood--a not so classical-glitzy experience for a kid who would grow up under its influence to embrace politics and co-found a punk rock band that once opened for Black Flag. With deep musical knowledge and appreciation across genres, he later went on to critique music and introduce listeners to the magic of "new" old music discoveries.

The over-arching story of this episode is how fan behavior molds the concert experience. There is a trigger warning because we talk about drugs and drug-induced fan behavior. However, we also talk about some amazing fans that left great lasting memories for us. We run a wide scope of memories from metal to country to artists like Neil Diamond and Lou Reed. So please join us on our memories of some of the wildest concerts that we've attended.
Be sure to continue to send me your questions and suggestions, especially your favorite artists! I love discovering new music and I really want to hear about your concert experiences!

This week my (practically) lifetime friend, Mike and I got back together again to talk about the only thing that matters in the world: rock ‘n roll! And the craziest concerts that we’ve attended. We also talk about hearing loss, both of us having exposed our ears to loud noise and suffered the consequences.
It struck me during this talk, how many venues no longer exist from our early concert days. My personal choices in who I will listen to has also changed dramatically. What I mean to say is that my music listening has broadened and become more inclusive of and open to the seemingly infinite variety of music that there is in the world.
Music… is the universal language that connects us all. Here, we share the one referred to as rock.

This is the second part of my talk with my dear friend, Tamara Madison, poet, educator, artist, free-spirit. We talk about the writing process and a lot of other things. Most special is her reading of her poem, "Sequoia Sermpervirens".
This was a short segment, so I paid tribute to my amazing neighbor and friend, Ella Jean Morgan (Bollinger), who continues to be an incredible inspiration to me and my knee recovery, over eight years after her passing.

In this part-2 of my episode with Chris Sullivan, photographer, writer, philosopher, citizen scientist, naturalist... Chris and I talk about everything from writing and journaling to photography. Raising Monarchs and how their seemingly imminent demise is a bigger message to humans about the impacts we are placing on the environment which put our own survival, as a species in danger. And, a message from God that arrives on the side of a box of Triscuits.

Chris Sullivan is a deep thinker, writer, photographer, humanitarian, a truth-seeker, a steward to the planet, and an absolute treasure. He’s a former business analyst with degrees in philosophy, history, and Education. And, he became a brand-new grandfather this year.
In this first of a two-part talk, we talk about the process of gaining awareness of our reactions to various stimuli, especially those that take us out of our comfort zone. It is about dealing with life’s challenges, integrating experiences, and finding meaning, strength and perseverance from hardships. In many ways, this talk is just about LIFE. It’s endless progression of troughs and peak, and the realization that nothing is final.
Life is an immersive ride that’s meant to be experienced fully in all of its variations. It is hard, but it somehow, manages to be wonderful at the same time or redeem itself, shortly thereafter. It’s a teacher and sometimes, even an angel… never more apparent than when its students talk about, share and explore our situations and find the common and relatable threads among it all. We are not alone in our experiences.

We talk about Dinosaurs (by the way, the dinosaur I couldn't remember is a Triceratops) and Giant Ground Sloths; Dire Wolves and Saber Tooth Tigers. For a minute, we travel to Washington DC. But, the overarching arc of this episode is about seeking and cultivating that "lost, yet completely accessible" child-like joy and curiosity within us all.

From escaping the segregated south to becoming platoon leader at Boot Camp and continuing to follow his passion as a Corpsman in the Coast Guard, where he was a helicopter SARs medic and “Doc” on the ice cutter, Glacier which travelled to Antarctica three times while stopping at some of the world’s most amazing ports. There were sports, too: football on the ice at zero degrees, softball in New Zealnd, and a thrilling basketball game in Fiji that you have to hear to believe! Walter ranked out in the Coast Guard, retiring after 28 years of service, but his adventures and insatiable zest for life continue.
Please be aware that it carries a warning for historical recounting of a tragedy in Vietnam, in which Walter opens up about a friend’s death. It is hard to listen to and may be triggering to some, so please be aware of this subject matter.

Soup Pha is a recording artist, entertainment TV host, Trusted Ambassador to the Royal Family of Cambodia, a humanitarian and historian of South East Asia. His father is a survivor of the brutal Khmer Rouge invasion of Cambodia, which Soup details in this episode. Warning: this episode is hard to listen to in its honesty and devastation of the Cambodian Genocide that occurred under Pol Pots dictatorship between 1975 and 1979. The material covered may be sensitive to some.
We also cover Soup's recording career, his experience as a 1st Generation American and a child of Cambodian and Thai refugees who is reconnecting with his roots. This is a heartfelt, touching and honest account that includes one of Soup's recordings at the end called, "Snam Kham".

Catch up on the latest that's going on with me and stay for a few stories! Fighting Olympus, the film by Julian V. Hampton, and which I helped produce, script supervise, and even had a small acting part in; won Best Feature Film on June 10, 2022 at the National Black Film Festival! I provide a fairly in depth background of Greek Mythology and gods. You know, if Hades had given Persephone a cheeseburger, instead of pomegranate seeds; he'd have had his way.
While we're talking about wins, hear about how I doubled my money on a lotto ticket; and how that led me on a circuitous course to Fibonacci sequencing and critical thinking fallacies. Is there a mathematician in the house?!

BOOKS WE TALKED ABOUT:
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemptio; by Laura Hillenbrand| Amazon
This episode is dedicated to the memory of my friend, Todd Gaydowski who passed away on April 12th. This was a tough episode to create and I hope that it brings some comfort to those who knew Todd and to those who are grieving the loss of a loved one; as well as to those who might be looking to bring more meaning into their lives (via Todd's legacy of temperance and kindness).
This episode is divided into two parts. The first part covers some thought on the grieving process. In the second part, I share the aspects of Todd that I knew and held dear. He was beloved by many diverse communities and the legacy that is most clear across them all of those sectors, was his capacity for kindness.

Another "Lists with Sofia" with a film-heavy bent. We explore forming the best Zombie-fighting team and come to a realization that women will win the apocalypse. We talk favorite films, acceptable music volumes, fictional places and times we'd like to visit, books we love, textbooks we'd write, and bats... not the kind that turn into vampires. Foul language warning.
