On this episode of the podcast, Lori VanLo conducts and co-produces a fantastic, superb, and extremely fun interview with me in person. This is Lori's second time on the podcast and we recorded this one at Walker Johnson Park in the Urbandale area.

 

This episode is really unique as almost all of the questions Lori asked me and topics we talked about are things that have never ever been brought up on the podcast before. Here are the questions that Lori asked me, some were really fun or silly, other questions were more serious:

Does a straw have one or two holes?

If an animal could talk, which one would be the rudest?

Is cereal a soup?

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Would you prefer to travel into the past or into the future?

Who would win in a fight, a horse-sized duck or a duck-sized horse?

Should cats or dogs rule the world?

Would you rather have a pet dragon or a pet unicorn?

Should adults be required to take an afternoon a nap time?

Should we have a 4 day workweek universally?

Should we have a mandatory retirement age?

Should we have a UBI/Universal Basic Income?

Should we have free education?

For some of the questions, I asked Lori what her answers would be and she shared her thoughts on a few of the topics we brought up. After all the topics Lori brought up and asked me questions on, I performed a bunch of my voice impersonations for her and we wrapped the show up with my sharing some thoughts about both our reaching the 200th total episode of the whole podcast series over a 6-1/2 year period and how the show has come a long long way over the last few years.

Then Julie asks me to describe myself with just three single word adjectives.

 

Next Julie and I have a discussion on a whole bunch of things related to the podcast.

 

Julie then asked what question I would love for someone to ask me that has never been asked on the show before and I answer by first talking about how I have had an interest in shortwave radio and a little about the National Institute of Standards and Technology Time and WWV/WWVH radio (available on several different shortwave band frequencies), and then I describe my ideal dream job of starting up/being on a radio station the way it was done during the 1970's.

 

Before I launch into my impersonation medley with Julie, she asks me what what your favorite age is that you've had over my first 49 years and if I could go back to one age earlier in life what would it be and why?

 

We wrap up the show with me performing a whole bunch of my voice impersonations for Julie.
