Confessions

Confessions is the self-authored, self-produced podiocast that holds nothing back. An amazing compilation that chronicles life at the darkest level through the eyes of a man living on the wrong side of the street throughout his entire life. Bear witness as ageless skeletons and demons are finally released and unspoken secrets are revealed while karmic justice is served up in this tell-all saga.

Fragments: The Mormon Who Taught Me How To Slay A Dragon...

Dungeons & Dragons.... Yes I was one of those people... It was the late 1970's and Fantasy Role-Playing had not yet reared it's head into the mainstream. I was still in High School at the time I was introduced to this new way to escape reality. What's interesting is the fact that I was convinced to give it a try by a group of Mormons...

Yes, the Church sucked me into this world of elves, dwarves, orcs, paladins & phraints. Mages and Clerics, Warriors and Assassins..Good vs. Evil...Fantastic! Join me as I take you back to that fatefull day where it all began for me...

Fiction - Guerrilla Casting: 2010

The year is 2010.. the not too distant future. Conglomerates like Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon have declared martial law on the use of bandwidth. Corporations have unified under the flag of the Google Empire to restrict and control all media..The FCC enforces this new world order using invasive Black-Ops technology to relentlessly scan the airwaves searching for bands of guerrilla podcasters and other new media terrorists. Rebel factions are forced to do hit and run style broadcasts in order to evade the goon squads dispatched across the country to round up these low-tech groups...

GJ #09: Every Dog Has It's Day
Original Air Date: March 5, 2006


Find out why the DOT pulled me in at the Cottonwood scales on I-5 in California! Find out how a stupid mistake almost cost me big... This podcast was recorded over the last few days as I made my way from Stockton, CA to Portland, OR where I delivered a load of grocery items at Safeway.

I also delve into the sick, sad world of animal abuse. Pet Abuse more specifically, where I rant a bit on those who take on the responsibility of pet ownership without giving any forethought to the time, expense and care that goes into providing a healthy and prosperous environment for these creatures. In addition I talk about the wack jobs that steal pets for the purpose of selling them to research labs where they have little chance of ever seeing the light of day again...

GJ #08: No Strings Attached... Are We ready For High Speed Wireless?
Original Air Date: March 2, 2006


Recorded in Sacramento, CA this podcast includes my first try at including music from the Podsafe Music Network. The whole music thing is new for me but I love being able to include it in my podcasts. Some bitching about the way the different terminals don't really give a shit about drivers out of other terminals and in particular the night shift which is hard to deal with always.

For some strange reason I actually plugged the wireless providers in this episode... I apologize for my momentary insanity...

GJ #06: It's All About Me...
Original Air Date: January 29, 2006


Recorded in Billings, MT parked at a Flying J Truck Stop. Mostly disjointed rambling about problems posting video to iTunes. I answer a couple of emails from listeners and then talk a bit about places I'd like to settle down and buy a house. I was surprised to find Rapid City, SD to be appealing as I had always thought of the Dakotas as pure wasteland...

GJ #03: Keep On Rollin'

Recorded in Cullman, AL this episode includes my first sad attempt to include music in my intro.. I discuss my travels & a bit of talk about hours of service and how it affected me. Discussion of software that I was using to record my shows & various other rambling.

GJ #02: Google Earth
Original Air Date: October 5, 2005


Recorded in Witchita Falls, TX where I do a recap of our recent travels before discussing a web based GPS positioning widget I was tinkering with. Mind you, this was before widgets and GPS positioning were popular on the web. After that I review Google Earth.

Again, this episode is truncated near the end... I apologize.

GJ #01: The Gear Jammer
Original Air Date: September 30, 2005


This where it all began... Very short "test cast" that I did to get the ball rolling. This podcast ends abruptly and I was unable to locate the draft file that contains the entire recording. I don't think more than 20 or 30 seconds is missing however.

TL37 - The Gear Jammer
Turning back the pages today, I reminisce about my driving days and in particular, The Gear Jammer...I had a blast doing that show. Although I only did 12 episodes, this is where my podcasting journey all began. I miss trucking and will play some clips from past Gear Jammer Episodes. In addition, I am going to include a previously unreleased interview I did during the GrindKing days. I had an opportunity to interview a woman who I dubbed CrackHead Kim.

Kim was a prostitute and Crack addict struggling to recover.. This interview takes place at a Motel 6 in Sacramento, CA just after my accident that resulted in my quitting my job and direclty prior to my arrival at The Vortex....

TL11 - How The Fuck Should I Know?
I went through the archives and found an old Gear Jammer Podcast that I wanted to revive. I have integrated a portion of it into this Trailer Life Podcast. The Gear Jammer episode was recorded in January of 2006 while I was driving for Swift Transportation. I was ranting about customer service in America and related an experience I had while trying to purchase a gallon of gas at a TA Travel Center in Ontario, California one night..
