Familiar Strangers: The Class of 2006 Podcast

Chris Wilkins

In this episode, we all get to go on an adventure alongside Chris Wilkins. From living in several different big cities and smaller communities in rural America to his travels back home, Chris is a guy on the move with an inspiring dedication to his family. 
As always, thanks to Steve Miller and James Evanson for our music and logo! The check is in the mail, fellas (there is no check). :(

Steve Miller

The episode starts out with a very special guest appearance and we just keep riding the momentum. This week, the ever-musical Steve Miller joins the pod to share about his journey over the past 20 years. Central connections abound in this entertaining hour!
As always, thanks to the forementioned Mr. Miller for the music and James Evanson for our logo art! 

Sarah Wendel (Ross)

This week, we're getting into the nitty gritty of teaching English with the one and only Sarah Wendel. Her passion for the profession shines through in this entertaining chat that also covers her favorite high school activities! 
 
We had a few audio issues with this one that took a toll on the quality during our banter at the beginning. The good news is it really evens out once we get a few minutes into the interview portion. 
 
As always, thank you to Steve Miller and James Evanson for providing our music and logo!   

Patrick Landry

For a guy doing his first podcast interview, Patrick had the whole thing figured out! We had a blast catching up with Las Cruces' most eligible bachelor.  It was a joy catching up with Patrick and we’re looking forward to our next chat— and we think you will be as well! 
As always, a special thanks to Steve Miller and James Evanson for the music and logo! 

Rose Gumz (Stepanek)

Rose Gumz joins the podcast to discuss life in the Twin Cities. From her perspective on launching startups to her experience as a D1 NCAA athlete, the time we spent with Rose flew by. We think that’s because Rose is as she always has been: world-class! 
As always, special thanks to Steve Miller for the music and James Evanson for the logo! 

Colin Cote

After a rather intensive search, the dynamic detective team at Leslie & Leslie Associates managed to track down the elusive Colin Cote. From his experience in Africa to his work on the art scene in Butte, you'll enjoy the ensuing conversation! 
As always, special thanks to Steve Miller for the music and James Evanson for the logo! 

Eric Rude

We're spending the better part of the hour catching up with Eric. He was kind enough to hang with us through a few technical difficulties. The audio on this one is a little less than ideal. We're working on it... it's a bit of trial and error. But Eric was great as always. Funny, thoughtful... everything you likely remember. 
As always, special thanks to Steve Miller for the music and James Evanson for the logo! 

Shannon Haraden (Moore)

In our first episode, we talk a little bit about why we're doing this podcast before getting into the interview with the one and only Shannon Haraden (you might remember her as Shannon Moore). Shannon walks us through an entertaining career and dare we say picturesque life in Wyoming!
Special thanks to fellow '06 alumni Steve Miller and James Evanson. Steve contributed our intro and outro music and James designed our logo!
