This week we explore northeastern Oklahoma’s “green country”…the Ozark foothills where Wilson Rawl’s classic work is set. Science folks might try to convince you there’s no such thing as a red fern in the American interior highlands, but we natives know better than that…
Join us tonight as we recount my daughter and I’s adventure introducing her to the real world locations of her latest favorite book!

…on such a winter’s daaaaayyyy….
Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!
This week we recap my holiday adventures and take a quick trip to a Christmas-light-bedazzled theme park with my daughter as well as a 3-day adventure to southeastern Colorado. There will be gold fields, backcountry byways, people hanging 1,000 above the bottom of a gorge by a single rope, and peeing in parking lots in 20 degree weather! Everything you could ever want in a holiday week!

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!
This week we explore the famous Santa Fe trail through Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico. Outlaw hideouts in the Oklahoma panhandle, trading posts on the trail, abandoned mining camps, infamous cemeteries, and my new favorite food (until I find the next one) are all on tap, and the American Wild West will be won…or at least subdued within reasonable parameters. A birthday…not unlike any other day…is a great excuse to get out and explore!

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!
This week we explore some locations associated with what we would know today as “the Wild West”, or perhaps the very early American Frontier during the days of westward expansion. There will be shootouts, there will be soldiers, there will be forts, and there WILL. BE. FRIED. CHICKEN!

Weeeeeellllllll…hi guys! It’s been a minute or two…months.
I’m still alive, spooky season is here…so let’s hang out for an hour and a half and tell some creepy stories! Remember, ghosts are going to stalk you no matter where you are, so you might as well get off your tail and go out and look for some that have never haunted your dreams…just to keep life spicy.

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!
It is my daughter’s birthday month. So this week’s show is going to line out her birthday gift.… a big 3 Day Weekend road trip!
Of all the options she was given to choose from she chose the absolute nerdiest, much to my delight. Check out tonight’s show to hear all about Poverty Point, Louisiana, Vicksburg, Mississippi, and the haunted antebellum McRaven tour home! Join us on this week’s adventure dubbed affectionately as “Nerd Trip 2024”.

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!
It’s been a long six week hiatus, but we’re back! Life has been crazy and I’ve been running like a maniac trying to keep things on track, but excuses aside it’s time for a new episode. This week we’re going to talk about some truly hidden gems…since modern travel writers don’t seem to know what the term “hidden” actually means. We’re going to explore the Ouachita Mountains…the Ozarks far lesser known compatriot to the south.

Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!
This week I embark upon both literal and philosophical adventures as I contemplate the importance of seizing the moments of our lives before they disappear like dust in the wind (see what I did there?). In addition to this philosophical sidetrack, we talk about some of my recent adventures as well as some of our listener’s adventures to boot!

This show is my passion project, born of a traumatic set of circumstances that jarred me from a sedentary life and an apocalyptic worldview. With my jarring wake up call came a clean slate...both in my physical world, but also my mental and emotional world. Wayward Stories is my humble attempt to add value to this world through sharing my story...my journey...with the intent of prompting others to take their lives back into their own hands. My goals are simple:
1- Demonstrate to others who have experienced trauma that good CAN exist on the other side of bad...so don't give up.
2- Offer proof-of-concept that an exciting life full of adventure and self-expansion can be had by the everyday Joe like me...with an everyday job, and everyday budget and an everyday life.
