In the second installment of our latest with Yanni Constantin, we go down more than a few rabbit holes, often leaving one hole and instantly heading into another. From pillows and mattresses to AI and robots, we discuss myriad current events as well as diving into our opinions on the future of work, what it takes to make it, and why you should never give up. Give it a listen, it's a good one.
When Yanni Constantin headed out from Romania for Greece, there wasn't much of a plan. There also wasn't much of a guide to get he and his friends across various borders along the way. Yet, as we heard during his first appearance, they did make it. In this episode, Yanni goes deeper into the journey and the whole crew takes a similarly circuitous route through his travels, the cost of brisket, heavy metal festivals, and m...

Give it a listen, it's a good one.
Tim Kizer isn't much for planning, but that hasn't stopped him from living a good life. From Pine Bluff, Arkansas to Kentucky to Fayetteville, things have tended to work out for him, so long as we're not talking duck clubs.

Matt Stephens was in and out of prison, but it wasn't until he served 14 consecutive years that he got the message society was trying to tell him and got his act together.

In this episode, Matt and Brentt Tumey discuss their descent into depravity and their journe...

On May 3, 2022, Cookin' Up a Story launched. Initially, it was just Aaron and Joe, though the guests soon started arriving. Two of those guests, Redwords, who was interviewed in July of that year, and Martinez, who came on to help interview Gary P. Nunn in August, would become full time hosts of the show. Rich came along a few years later, also first as a guest.
Today, we've given the listeners hundreds of hours of entert...
Wine is often associated with high culture whereas beer with low. Inmates in prisons only make one of the two, though, because the art of making beer is much more intense than that of wine. In part two of our discussion with Florian, we get into the nuts and bolts of brewing as well as discussing more of what made him love living in America. Give it a listen. It's a good one.

Give it a listen, it's a good one.
