I asked my parents, my aunt, my nephew and his friends a bunch of questions. They were separated into a “grown-ups” group and a kids group when I recorded them, because I wanted to see how the different age groups were alike or similar in their answers. Then I put their answers back to back on the podcast.

I really enjoyed my chat with Jan, and I think this is as much myself as I’ve been so far (she brought out the super chatty, laughy in me for sure). But she’s more than just a funny lady; she’s really fascinating and enthusiastic about her life and her choice of careers. And that’s a great thing to hear. So take a listen as Jan talks to me about blogging, motherhood, living in Canada and the amazing world of the kindergarten classroom.
“If it can make someone else laugh, it helps me see the humor in the situation…
that’s probably been one of the best things about Twitter and blogging
is just that it helps me see the funny quicker.”
0:00 ~ to tweet, perhaps to blog…
11:15 ~ raising (& writing about) 4 boys under 8
18:15 ~ being a Kindergarten teacher!
26:20 ~ Kids learn that in Kindergarten?

I asked Clay to come talk to us about his writing process. Clay talks about the unique challenges of writing book number 2, fully experiencing the adventure of field research (while still taking notes), and how he turns it all into a book worth reading.
Scroll down a little further to see a couple of short videos from our talk last year!
“There are just stories upon stories that are hidden in these trips and these tales,
and it’s going to be very fun when I finally get to tell them all.”
0:00 ~ writing book #2: “Definitely no room to relax.”
8:50 ~ the unique challenges of doing field research
16:45 ~ turning the bits and pieces into a book
26:45 ~ creative momentum (and it’s never finished, just submitted)
29:20 ~ “When you write non-fiction, you’re the character”
33:30 ~ a few teasers (couldn’t you just smack him?)
Here are two Clay Bonuses: I’ve previously posted the audio from my Undead interviews with Clay. Here is the last piece, where Clay breaks down the chapters from that book.
And here is a little fun bit we did, where I gave Clay a Pop Culture Quiz.
Health Coach Vicki Manuel is back! Today we talk about making the switch to healthier eating habits. Vicki covers the importance of reading labels and moving away from man-made ingredients, and explains how some “diet” foods may actually be working against you. She also tells us where you can start if you’re ready to make changes in your own food choices.
“Find your…own personal way of eating the foods that are beneficial for your body
to be the most amazing machine that it is.”
0:00 ~ none of us are broken
8:00 ~ read the whole label (ingredients!)
12:40 ~ What are GMOs?
17:50 ~ misconceptions about branded “diet” foods
23:45 ~ finding the correct information (do your research)
32:50 ~ Where should someone start?
