Based on a True Story

My first full episode is an introduction to the podcast. I figure it might help to know a little bit about where this show is coming from.

Our story begins.

In which we learn the rules.
And the truth.

Things get real. This chapter has probably the greatest ending in the history of podcasts. Be sure you've heard parts 1 and 2 for the full experience.

In addition to my theme song by Parlor Voice (feat. Johnson Cochran), this episode features music from (among others) Ministry of Interior Spaces, check out the whole album at ministryofinteriorspaces.bandcamp.com.

The most anticipated episode in the history of the show.

What I said happens happens.

Fans of episode 4 will not be disappointed.

And I sure hope you're all listening through the credits; you don't want to miss any of the fun.

Part 6!

Will there be a Part 7?

I suppose you'll know by the end of the episode, won't you?

The triumphant return of BOATS!

The sad return to Obsidian Trails.

We're not out of Oregon yet.

Featuring music from James Li's Ministry of Interior Spaces

Also, I hope you're all seeing our new logo thing by Kendra Kamp.

A very tricky episode to put together. I hope we all feel like it worked out.

If you're not feeling it, feel free to bail in the middle.

NOTE: It is essential that you’ve heard parts 1 through 7 before giving this a try.

Thanks, everyone.

Our story isn't nearly done.

Let's get back to the adventure of a lifetime. We return to the wilderness of Oregon as I attempt to graduate from the Impact program to Advanced. Featuring authentic journal entries and letters from Mom and Dad.

Our story continues as I acclimate to the advanced section of the program. I receive a letter from my grandfather and get to eat an oreo.

As my program nears its end, I reflect on the tension between my experience and my parents' good intentions.

I head out on my solo, several days of silence and solitude in the wilderness. It was often pretty boring.

The moment you’ve been waiting for: I receive my earth name.  And I start to feel pretty ready to head home.

And DEFINITELY listen to the very end for a spine-tingling preview of episodes to come.

My last days in Oregon. I am joined in the wilderness (and on the podcast) by my parents.

An interview with my mother, Alice Williamson.

An interview with my dad, Bruce Williamson.
