I’ve been asked countless times to do a podcast.

(Okay…maybe fifty or so. But that’s a lot, right?)

Thing is, I kinda hate my voice. Which is surprising, considering my tendency to babble. Turns out that most of you disagree. Vehemently. But I still hummed and hawwed over it. And then, one crisp winter’s day on the Greek Isle of Rhodes,  a pal sent me an outrageous sale listing for a most excellent USB mic:yeti

It arrived from the UK four days later. I started messing around that very night. And the results…didn’t suck.

So, I started writing. And recording. And (finally) learning my way around Garageband.

I brainstormed the show title with trusted friends, aiming for something instantly provocative that could convey the travel/romance/psychedelic/spiritual vibe I was going for AND my tendency towards extremes. (I’m a double-Gemini, after all)

Then I hacked together some theme music, got my old pal James Curcio to help whip up the gonzo cover art, and set the whole thing up on Libsyn. Easy peasy.

I’m aiming for weekly eps but, if I’m being realistic, you should expect bi-weekly freshness. The goal is a balanced diet of raw personal stories (set to tunes by my main maestro, Tobias Tinker), no-holds-barred audience Q&As, and engaging full-length interviews with creative cohorts and fellow digital nomads.

You can enjoy the show (and subscribe, please!) on the usual podcast suspects including iTunes, Youtube, Google Play, Stitcher, and Facebook.
