Description
Welcome to Walking Alongside: Perspectives. Take a walk with me as we explore perspectives that I find interesting, moving, ridiculous, hilarious, infuriating, frustrating or down right bizarre! This iteration of the podcast features a combination of short (read 10-15 minutes'ish or less) solo-pods sharing what I have seen, heard, experienced or am navigating and fun and insightful conversations with cool people. Hopefully it will be relatable, possibly humourous, thought provoking or at the very least, entertaining. Looking forward to sharing these perspectives and hope you enjoy.

Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Right off the top I have to alert you to the fact that at around minute 8:37 or so, there is an error. I reference Brian Wilson being inspired by Revolver when I should have said it was Rubber Soul…apologies in advance. And as I was in the process of fixing it, there was a whole back-up inadvertent deleting situation that precluded that from happening 😩 Well - we had to do it. I alluded to it in the last episode and well, we went and did it. He...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Ever had one of those moments where you just couldn't believe your eyes or ears? Well, that's what this episode is about. The things that leave you asking - what in the world? (Or something perhaps a bit more colourful) While it's not exactly an episode brimming with rainbows and unicorns, it will hopefully give you pause, maybe make you crack a smile, possibly piss you off a bit but also, ideally make you think about the things that matter and...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! *Please not that there is an error - I mention the wedding band as being Polish, when they are in fact Ukrainian. Apologies for that oversight! Links to all groups mentioned at the bottom of the blurb - so please go check them out and support!* In this midsummer episode we go all things wedding. From my own, to the one that I deem to be the best wedding ever. And everything in between. How do we feel about weddings? What's so great or not great about...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Ahhh the joy of airports...wait...am I being serious. Well, I guess it's a matter of perspective. There are some really obnoxious things about airports, but lately, I've come to terms with them in a completely different way. So here's a look (or a listen - hahaha) to how I have come to view and appreciate airports, airplanes and all that space in between, most recently. No links, nothing to view or click...just my take on how getting places is really...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! So we made it through to recognizing that both the women and the men had their moment in Barbie - and that's part of the problem. The source of the rage that we are talking about is deeply rooted in how virtually the entirety of society is built and trying to fix it or "take it down" is going to be no easy task. So in Pt 2, Trina and I look at some different ways that we can continue to approach it which will hopefully open more doors to conver...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! I don't know about you, but sometimes it seems like there are just a million things to be angry about. Some of it is justified, but some of it is also just this bizarre slippery slope of things that feel a lot like that guy who just keeps pushing the rock up the mountain only to have it roll down the other side. So what if we took a different approach? What if we did something different that would net us an outcome where everyone could win?&nbs...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Not what you might normally think would make for fascinating discussion, although there are people who actually study garbage...but this is not an archeological jaunt through the refuse of centuries or even millenia past - no - it's a look at the times we are in. Times that are rife with examples of all the myriad types of garbage that we contend with on an all too regular basis. And how perhaps a simple, and yet very complicated solution could help ...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! This is a first - the only real indication of what we were going to talk about was the fact that friend and returning guest, Jeremy Peressini, said that we needed to use the Yeats poem, the Second Coming as the jumping off point. So that's what we did and the rest, as they say, just came out of that. It's all over the map - the geopolitical map that is, and for those of you who have listened to previous episodes...well...the cards are revealed in thi...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! I was going to use all kinds of cool and heroic music for this...but somehow I got lost in the message and David and Tina's songs completely escaped the sieve that is my mind these days. But it's okay. I also almost talked myself out of this episode because I thought maybe it's too controversial, too political. But if not now then when? Now is the time for everyone to take a long, hard look around and decide if this is the world that we want to live ...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Okay - so heads up folks, this is a long one. Feel free to skip to 1:26:567 if you want to get into the heart of this absolutely delightful romp all over the map with my guest Calvin Simonson, guitar hero/sound "engineer"/music aficionado and all around great guy. While knowing one another for all of 5 minutes prior to this show, we manage to hit all the major themes of personal growth, dropping out of school, musical influences, ghost stories, X-fil...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! So from Prince to Olivia Newton-John's iconic song, which only upon listening to it in preparation for this episode did the double entendre (which is not at all subtle) hit me smack in the face. But it's a suitable anthem for a look once again at joy this time in the context of movement, in the variety of ways that can be defined. It looks at "exercise" and challenge and doing hard things and showing up and how that all comes together to create oppor...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! It took some doing to come up with a follow-up topic to my conversation with my pen pal, but then it struck me as there were all these signs pointing me in a particular direction. What do we control - or perhaps more importantly and significantly, what do we think we can control? Where in our lives can we affect change that will improve how we feel, interact or even function in a world that seems at best cataclysmic and at work pre-apocalyptic...Exag...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! So this somehow ended up becoming a bit of a follow-up episode to my last conversation (with myself) only this time, I get to talk about stuff with my Pen Pal, Todd, who joins me from Portland. We talk joy, podcasts (making and listening and stats and such) and how important it is to make life decisions based on your path, not someone else's, and how finding that path takes effort and commitment. In order for there not to be too many spoilers, I'll l...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! I did an episode a while ago on things I don't understand, and this is kind of a continuation on that, with an emphasis on learning and growing and being opening to change and all the things that I think make us better people. I'm not talking about just deep and meaningful things, thought some certainly are more important to me than others, and there are some downright silly things, that are kind of forehead slapping moments. When was the last time...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Happy New Year!!! How is it already 2025? Hope it's going well so far, and here's a question for you...Have you ever thought about your name? Or pondered why movie star's names are what they are? Well, so have we! Daphne and I discourse on the sometimes thorny topic of names and why it matters, especially these days as people express themselves in different ways than before, and who the "folks in the biz" are who changed their names. Hopefully it rem...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! Don't let the title scare you! If you have ever wondered why you are behaving the way you are, or why you just can't seem to make yourself do...well...anything, it might be because your body is trying to tell you something. Have you been dealing with a lot for seemingly ever? That's a clue. Did you recently get in a car crash or fall and hit your head and you've been feeling off and can't quite get it together? That's a clue. Join me in a fascinating...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! When you think about the arts, it's likely that your thoughts go to museums - the Louvre (of course) or our own AGA or maybe things like the symphony or possibly and hopefully local theatre like the Citadel or even Broadway. But do you think about who the people are who make the art or the music or write or act in the plays? Why not? Is it because it's this abstract concept because we're too busy thinking about practical things like sensible educatio...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! When you think about your mental health (and I hope you do) do you consider that most of the time we might actually be taking it for granted? That we assume we're going to wake up every morning and be okay or fine or good to go, or whatever phrase pops automatically out of our mouths. But what happens when slowly, insidiously there is a gradual shift that isn't super obvious but one day smacks you in the head and you realize, wait a minute why do I f...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy (well, maybe my WORST enemy) what my friend Jeremy has had to endure, deal with and overcome over the last almost 2 years. In this episode we talk about what happens when life takes a dramatic and unexpected left turn, what a person can do to prepare themselves for the those improbable situations and what the lessons are that will help to move us forward or in a completely different direction. There is a crazy 'crime...
Have thoughts or ideas? Please share here! This is the third and final installment of our series on all things music and we cover so many things. Lyrics, musicality, motifs, feelings and life experiences and all the things that music is and influences. We talk about a wide range of artists and what they mean to us or how they have affected us, and as usual there are some interesting takes. Whether or not you agree or disagree, we hope that you will come to appreciate whatever it is that you l...
