Episode 5: Kindred Spirits - Don't Walk Alone

2022/04/23

I am a lucky man. In this episode I connect with a friend from high school who is a clinical psychologist and an all around amazing woman. We only knew each other for one year in high school, way back in 1976, but reconnected through Facebook and she was gracious enough to grant me this interview. It is full of insight and humanity, and love. Thanks friend! Enjoy Cracklins!

Episode 4: Rape

2022/04/05

Hi listeners. Episode 4 describes a child sexual assault. It's rough. Heed this warning if you think it might be too much for you. And be sure, I am fine now, really. The episode is not all made up of only the description of the rape. There are indeed many lighter moments as well. Un abrazo fuerte.

Episode 3: Big Bill, Black Panthers, Bye

2022/03/22

My father was a civil rights activist in Seattle in the 1960s. A lot of people didn't like it. I am proud of what he did and can only imagine what might have happened had he had more time. Listen to the trailer and Episodes 1 and 2 first! Episodes 0 and 0.1 are well worth listening to as well!

Episode 2: The Neighborhood

2022/03/10

In Episode 2 we hear from my comrades of the time - my sisters and friends - all women, which was typical of my social circle. Life in the 60's in Des Moines, Washington, USA, and the forming of a future crackhead. Listen to the trailer and Episode 1 first! Episodes 0 and 0.1 are well worth listening to as well!

Episode 1: The Neighbors

2022/02/22

The first formal episode of Crack Tales, the very beginning in suburban Seattle when seatbelts just weren't so important but doctors were already hot. If you haven't already, check out the trailer for a bit more info. Episodes 0 and 0.1 are also well worth listening to. Thanks! Enjoy!
