She specializes in Hopi quilts, but has also recounted the lives of other fascinating quilt makers in American history.

There’s so much more! Yes, we have a quiz you’ll never get! And some news you’ll never get! And another guest comes by in a sneaky sort of way! I don’t get him either! And Mikie goes to the airport! What a line-up! What a lot of exclamation points!

It’s similar to the history of slavery here but there are significant differences, especially in how the original African culture and traditions of the slaves’ native land is still represented in Brazil today. She lives in Salvador, State of Bahia, Brazil which is a very cool place, home to Candomblé and lots of Samba-ing.

It’s a good one, featuring an interview with Major Joe Da Silva, US Army. He’s done three tours in Iraq and was also in Afghanistan. Just having completed his Masters, he’s on his way back to West Point to teach (he is a West Point grad, class of 2002). We talk about the challenges of commanding, leadership and the soldiers he’s had the pleasure to serve with.

There’s also another guest coming by, but I lost the thing with his name on it, where did I put that… No matter, I’m sure he’ll show up named or not. Plus there’s a quiz and some news you’ll never find anywhere else! Why exclaim that? Because it’s news you’ll never find anywhere else!

It’s a good one, featuring an interview with Major Joe Da Silva, US Army. He’s done three tours in Iraq and was also in Afghanistan. Just having completed his Masters, he’s on his way back to West Point to teach (he is a West Point grad, class of 2002). We talk about the challenges of commanding, leadership and the soldiers he’s had the pleasure to serve with. There’s also another guest coming by, but I lost the thing with his name on it, where did I put that… No matter, I’m sure he’ll show up named or not. Plus there’s a quiz and some news you’ll never find anywhere else! Why exclaim that? Because it’s news you’ll never find anywhere else! All that and more awaits you behind the little play arrow just below. Wait, do I hear ice clinking in a cocktail glass? I heart you!

Besides being Director of The University of Texas at Austin’s Project on Energy Communication, she has written or co-written three books about science, has given a TED talk and is a science advisor to NPR’s Science Fridays program. I asked her how to boil an egg.

Just kidding. We talk about the future of energy and women in science, many things. Plus, a few more guests come by, but they asked that I don’t reveal their names at this time. And there’s a quiz and some news, all the things you need to know if you know what to need!

A translation of that previous sentence would be appreciated.

This time we speak with George Bradley. He is a master of herpetology, meaning he collects, manages, identifies and pretty much loves everything about reptiles and amphibians. And he gets paid for the love by the University of Arizona Museum of Natural History. Plus, we got to go down to his space to have a talk and look at his many, many critters. There’s also a quiz, nothing about herpetology, just a general one-question quiz. And we have news about things you may think should never be news! How does that work?  We’ll see. And there’s always an unexpected guest or two dropping by. So why not hop on down to the play arrow and shed that old skin for some fresh entertainment!

I know, we were all hoping I’d say that. Well, I did. Join us as we speak with Kara Hartzler, an attorney whose focus is immigration and refugee law. We talk about what’s right and wrong for all sides. And she’s a playwright as well, whose plays have been performed across the country. Click here for more info on that.

We have other features, too: There’s a quiz! How often does one get to do that without even asking! Plus there’s news that only we seem to be able to find, and perhaps an unexpected guest. He or she remains in the shadows for now, I guess you’ll have to listen to see them.

And Mikie gets a phone call! How riveting, a phone call! Okay, that’s not that riveting but it could be a little welding-like!

What the heck am I talking about!

Yes, this episode we speak with Wake Wheeler, a Shamanic practitioner. He practices and teaches the traditions of the Q’ero, indigenous people of Peru. Truly a gentle soul. And I was surprised to find out how important textiles are to their beliefs and traditions.

There’s more things: We’re going to have a quiz (bet you never guessed that), and some news, and Mikie gets stuck under an underpass, who knows what can happen under an underpass… I see another guest drops by, but they’re not yet quite in focus.

She has also written several books, one of which has altered how historians view the affect that changes in the family had on the political and economic history of Western civilization. Plus, she’s a dynamite ping-pong player! Okay, not sure about the ping-pong, but she’s so nice, it would figure, right?

And, we have a quiz, unique to the world of quizzes. And there’s some news you may have missed and a trip on a ferry with a Frenchman (don’t get that every day). Is that it? I was hoping to use the word “and” a few more times. There, I just did! And I don’t know why!

Yikes!

He is an all-world multi-instrumentalist, and can play literally hundreds of percussion instruments, all mallets (like vibes and marimba) and is an amazing timpanist as well. We get him to bang on some stuff just to prove it. Recording? He’s played on at least 125 albums and hundreds of film scores and commercials. Then there’s the master classes around the world, touring with major orchestras and did we mention teaching at the Julliard School?

How do I follow that? By coming before it, that’s how! Yes, this episode features much more, for an incredibly low price, and if you call now… wait, where was I? Oh yes, we have a quiz and some news and there’s something going on next door, I think I’m going over there to find out what it is.

We also want to thank Lujendra Ojha for popping up in our interview, he’s the person who first witnessed the picture of the erosion patterns on Mars that were all the buzz a few months ago. And if you listen closely, you’ll hear another member of this team, Christy Caudill, saying hi from behind her giant computer screens.

Unique to this research is that Ms. Debenport has to agree to keep her knowledge of their language a secret (even the pueblo’s name is a pseudonym). Very interesting. There’s also a quiz: test your hearing-to-brain connection and win your very own teaspoon of self-esteem! And, we have some news, and some other guests come by, but I forget their names; okay, it’s a secret for now, alright? Oh, it’s going to be such a blast and don’t forget, The Mikie Show keeps colors from fading, even in hot water!

Join us as we speak with fabulous violinist Abe Appleman. Besides a love of chamber music, his main gig is playing with the first fiddles in the Orchestra of The Metropolitan Opera in New York City. And he’s done that for the last thirty years. We talk about the joy of a musician’s life. And he agreed to play a little for us, and, even though it’s over a funky phone connection, it was worth it. Also, our old friend, um, do you really want me to tell? Nah, it’s better to be surprised. There’s a little news, of course, and how about this for a feature: a sound quiz! There’s so much more, I can’t bring myself to type it. Why is that? Remember, The Mikie Show absorbs quickly and is completely gluten free!

He is a great newsman and a conscientious objector to irrational reporting. Well, he’s recently retired but that makes things all so much easier. We talk about running a newspaper (which he did) and reporting the news (he did that, too). There’s also a visit from, aw shucks, I just can’t ruin it for ya, you’ll just have to listen to find out.

Episode thirty-two is just below there, right behind that little arrow. It’s hiding there. If you don’t believe me, go ahead, click that little arrow and see what happens. What did I tell you, ha! Now you can sit back and join us as we delve into the world of ghostwriting. Yes, ghostwriter Priscilla Barton joins us to discuss her craft. She’s currently working on a non-fiction mystery, so we’ve taken up that theme and played a bit mysteriously ourselves. Yes, there are clues to the sound quiz hidden in the show (meaning I say something pertinent to the quiz answer or may even say the actual answer in some passing way). So you might want to keep your ears open start to finish, not that you would ever miss a golden word anyway. Also, we have another guest come by, there’s news about the future and Mikie lets you in on a private moment! This is the kind of thing we wait for our whole lives! Was that too strong? Okay, we wait for these moments at least a day or two! Thanks for tuning in!

Plus, she implements those ideas in Hoonah, Alaska an island community of just over 800 mostly native people. This place is only reachable by boat or plane. And our friend, well, should I tell? No, he said, why ruin the surprise, but we do have an unannounced guest and find a little red box and there’s a quiz and some news and a sound play and I’m going for the record for the most instances of the word “and” in a sentence!

We find out about that and other interesting things during our conversation with research mathematician Fionntan Roukema. He is currently living in Italy so we can all fantasize about that as well.

We have a chat with arborist Bill Eck. He grew up in the forest, like a little elf or something! Seriously, he’s a great guy and he really knows his trees. Find out the do’s and don’t’s of caring for your trees. (Don’t worry, hugging them is fine). The sound play in this episode is one of my fav’s—“The Stand.” Hmm, what else? Well, Señor Glow returns, Mikie tries to learn a new language, I think there’s news, and, wait, yes, the whole darn show is just a blast!

We speak with Patty Katchur, owner of Yikes Toys, the most fun toy store I’ve ever been to. Seems she was looking for change in her life and blamo, toy store. We get the run of a toy store for an hour! (Well, actually, only fourteen minutes). Plus, our friend Tom the Scot drops by, there’s some news and Mikie looks through his junk drawer.

Join us for a fascinating discussion with anthropologist Dr. Ellen Basso. She has spent many years living with, studying and writing about the Kalapalo people of central Brazil. Deep in the Amazon. Coolness. Our main focus is their language and how it helps us understand their culture. Especially interesting is their story telling tradition. I’ve posted an excerpt from one of Ellen’s recordings here. There’s also a visit from Claude, poor thing. It seems he’s lost his, well, you’ll see. There’s news, a quiz and so much more, I had to take a nap afterward!

Our discussion covers the basis for ethical business practices and the foundations upon which ethical behavior is based. Sounds a bit dry perhaps but not really, I learned a lot and it’s certainly germane to today’s headlines.
