The Carrying On of A Wayward Son

For a while now, I’ve been flirting with the idea of doing a weekly podcast. My first thought was to make it movie-centric — since that’s been the focus of so many other areas of my life lately. As I’ve continued to mull over the idea, though, it’s become more and more clear that this needs to be a project that’s almost completely void of movie-related discussion. I need an outlet in my life where I can flex my other creative muscles.

And so was born The Carrying On of a Wayward Son: The Podcast. In every episode, I will have an hour-long chat with a friend about anything and everything. These could be fond bouts of nostalgia about a shared past or dual brainstorming about a hoped-for future. Some of these podcasts will be with my current set of friends. Others will be with old friends I haven’t talked to in years. Even others might potentially be with people I’ve never even met before.

The first episode’s guest is a good friend of mine named Andrew Hollinger. Andrew and I met in 1995 or so when the two of us were in fifth grade. Starting of as fellow Cub Scouts in the same den, we later became classmates and then even later attended the same university. Andrew also was a partner in my first attempt at a podcast — Inkstain, a more literary venture that saw the two of us record pre-written essays. Andrew is currently a high school teacher in the Rio Grande Valley and a frequent writer. You can read some of his past work on his website at www.andrewhollinger.com.

So, without further adieu, here’s the debut episode of The Carrying On of a Wayward Son:
