    Episode 12 Reaired: The Genie is Out of the Bottle
    Feb 28 2018

    Don't be shocked or surprised, Roam Schoolers.


    The email came in yesterday: "On Friday evening, administrators were informed of threats made against the school on social media by a high school student. Police were immediately notified, and the student was questioned by police.

    Due to privacy laws and the fact that this is now a police matter, we cannot provide more specifics on this case. We can assure you that this incident is a clear violation of the district’s safety policies and the student will not be on campus pending the outcome of the investigation."


    We respectfully re-offer episode12 from one year ago today. In search of some small steps, some common ground in the insanity.

    Episode 25: The Life of a Lie
    Feb 13 2018
    We remember the lies we tell. Sometimes they stick with us for a lifetime. For guest Cheryl Strayed, lies were among the baggage that blocked her happiness until a long backpacking trip afforded her the strength to bring them in to roost somewhere healthy. “Why do we lie” was the initial question. More reasons that you might have thought.

  • Episode 24: To Serve Man?

    Episode 24: To Serve Man?
    Jan 29 2018
    We asked hundreds of people about how they encounter the animals they may (or may not) eat. So many conversations, all over the map. We chose these two: A farmer and a meat thinker. Meet Kyrie Eppley and Camas Davis. And be prepared for an "outside" discussion on some of the issue, both ancient and future, around one of our main sources of food: our animals.

    Episode 22: We Made Santa The Jerk
    Dec 18 2017
    In this episode we unpack some of the parcels Santa might not want us to consider, including a conversation with the creator of “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” AND a rapper in Northern Canada who actually got run over by Rudolph. Not your run of the mill holiday special.

  • Episode 21: The Terrible Gift

    Episode 21: The Terrible Gift
    Dec 6 2017
    In this episode we take back “giving” - a term awash with holiday smarm. We dive deep into the nuance and complications of gifts and explore the nature of generosity with some listener stories and a case study: the “altruistic kidney donor”. You’ll never give a gift the same way again.

    Episode 19: The Press VS The Prez PART 1
    Aug 10 2017
    We go deep into the relationship between the Prez and the Fourth Estate, spending time with two world-renowned journalists who share one common experience: being publicly scorned by a sitting president. We go behind the scenes with The New York Times' The Daily Host Michael Barbaro, and hear the story of Frank Snepp, who gave up everything in pursuit of getting the truth out there in 1975.
