The Adam Gebauer Episode
I loved getting to interview one of my friends on the podcast. Adam has been a huge supporter and podcast recommender for years, so I was really excited to have him on.Not only is Adam in my friend group, but he’s also a total badass when it comes to the outdoors. He’s the one who connected me with the Lands Council, and I’m forever grateful for that. His knowledge of ecology, wildlife, wildfires, public lands, and conservation is unmatched.We talk about ecology, wildlife, wildfires, beavers, public lands, and roast a few shared dislikes along the way. It was such a fun conversation, and I learned a ton.Adam is the Public Lands Director at the Lands Council and he should really have his own podcast! Give the episode a listen.Thanks to our mixer and editor Estimate!

Roast House Episode
Where do I even begin...Roast House Crew is my favorite. If my job allowed it, I’d be there every day, sipping coffee, breathing in the roaster, and taking tours with Teddy. But for real, Aaron, Allison, and Evan have carried on the legacy of a legend, Deb.We were all first introduced at Radio Bar. Aaron and Evan gave me my first shot of Malört, and honestly, it was terrible, but it led to something better. We started talking, and somehow that conversation turned into a deep dive on Deb, the force behind Roast House and First Ave Coffee, and one of the most impactful people to learn about and talk about.What stuck with me most, and what still comes up in my life daily since recording this episode, is the values and mission behind Roast House. That was the thread that connected all of us in that moment, and it’s the thing I carry forward. To live like Deb. To never waver on those values.Give it a listen, and go check Roast House out, and make sure to get a tour from Teddy!

Mandy Episode
You might know Mandy as the 2018 National Teacher of the Year — the educator who made headlines for bringing 45 letters from her immigrant and refugee students to President Trump at the White House. There was controversy around that moment, including claims she didn’t shake his hand, but her focus was always on amplifying her students’ voices and standing in her truth. (Ps she did shake his hand)Mandy and I originally met while training for the Washington Education Association, and both becoming culturally responsive classroom management trainers. Since then, she’s continued to be a light in spaces where so much is often hidden.In this episode we talk about:- Education, belonging, and relationships- Toxic positivity vs. genuine joy- Why some people resist hearing about real happiness- Leaving a good relationship- Falling in love-Coming out-And what it means to live honestly, even when it’s uncomfortableIt was an amazing, honest, vulnerable conversation and I’m so grateful for the time with Mandy.Go give it a listen.

Connorsversations Episode
Riley Connors is a writer, comedian, filmmaker, and late night talk show host. This human does is truly a multifaceted artist.My first introduction to Riley was seeing the “hi” promo videos for his new late night show Connorsversations, and I was instantly intrigued. When he found my podcast and reached out to be on Casual Disasters, I was hyped. Our very first meet up became our interview, and it was hilarious from the start. Fast friendship energy.We talked about everything so buckle up. Hold on,. Don't get lost. We had both submitted films to the Spokane Comedy Film Festival, but Riley actually won it a few years back. It was awesome hearing about his experience and how that win shaped his creative journey.I’m still thinking about him taking shots of hot sauce, touching raw meat, and somehow not puking on camera. He’s a total badass.Don’t miss his next show at The Chameleon on December 19th. Tickets dropping soon.Tune in to the episode and meet your new favorite comedic genius.
