Episode 10 — Road Trip TUESDAY — Alwin de Jonge
I picked up today's guest hitchhiking on a lonely, dark road one night in southern Oregon back in October of 1997. Alwin de Jonge was a 21-year-old from Holland who loved Clint Eastwood movies and was looking for an adventure when fate put him and his thumb on the road for four months. This is the first time we spoke since parting ways in San Francisco 28 years ago, when I offered to let him stay at my place in L.A.—even though I wouldn't be there.

Over 35 years later, the abandoned boy is family. This is our story.

Episode 4 — Working Man WEDNESDAY — Larry Zeno
According to my first AI-generated post-Zoom podcast summary: "Bob and Larry discussed technical difficulties, personal experiences, and shared interests during their meeting. They explored topics ranging from health challenges and personal growth to consciousness, alien theories, and creative pursuits. The conversation also touched on their past collaborations, future aspirations, and mutual appreciation for their friendship and support." Sounds about right. LARRY'S APPEARANCE W/MA...
