© 2023 The Cross Section Podcast
Description
As a cyclist and filmmaker and photographer, this is a new creative outlet for me and one that I am very excited about. I think one of the takeaways of 2020 is just how much I miss the people in my life and fostering those relationships so this seemed like a natural progression. I was kind of down in the dumps in the early winter and I missed everyone. I had been flirting with a podcast for quite some time and I decided to just go for it. I do not make any claims that I know what I’m doing. If you're into photography, bikes, and art, I sit down with people I find to be pretty interesting and unique. The show sort of cross-polinates amongst those topics and the podcast is the result. These are the conversations I would have on any given day. This is a show where my goal is to hang out with athletes, artists, musicians, friends and just follow the conversation wherever it leads and I thought, maybe, you might be interested in what we explore. Have a listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes will typically drop each Sunday. For Season 1, which will include only 10-15 episodes, I hope you like it.

The end of season 1 is near ... editing and recording the final episode with one of my great friends . It's taking some time to get it all done - we did it once and are recording a 2.0 version as well. It's been amazing. But it's time to pause for awhile. There may be a sneaker episode in there from time to time so stay tuned.It's been a labor of love and I will cherish every recording! Thanks for listening in so far!
It's the penultimate episode of season 1 and a session that I had in mind from the very beginning. This week’s episode is unique in that I have not one, but two guests - Emily Kachorek and Chris Namba of Squid Bikes. They joined me from Sacramento where their unique HQ is located; a place where art and cycling become one. I first met Emily and Chris and their third wheel Pete years ago when they hosted the 2nd live screening of my short film State of Cyclocross. We projected the f...
Well, friends, this one is insanely good! It's an episode full of laughs, stories, and serious discussion and we just couldn’t hang up so to speak. We started the wrap up at one point and the went on for nearly another hour. In other words, this is a long one, folks … but my guess is you won’t even notice.I got to sit with one of the most genuine and honest and joyful people I know. Her mantra is "Be kind. Do good. Have as much fun as possible." A graphic designer in addition to being an elit...
This episode of “The Cross Section” is one of my favorite types of episodes because I got to finally meet and talk with someone who I feel like I know due to social media but we haven’t ever been face to face or had the chance to be due to the pandemic. And we hit it off as I figured we would. We talked black dogs, skiing, broken noses and, of course, cyclocross. She is a professional ‘cross racer based in London, Ontario, Canada and she is someone who I admire the shit out of because of...
Today I get to share my conversation with a dude who I have admired for years. In fact our pre-pandemic pub chats are a bit of an inspiration for this show. We would get together often and talk about creation and film and photography and design and whatever else we each had going on. And inspiration is the word. Chris just goes for it. Fuck the rules. He eschews convention and traditional pathways. Just. Make. It. Happen. His DIY spirit really is all about making your own luck rather th...
Well, folks, this one is a long one - by far the longest to date - but it is also one of my favorite conversations . Trust me, this one is worth your time. For this episode of “The Cross Section” we have a little story time with someone whom I love talking to and someone whom I admire a great deal: 3 time U.S. Cyclocross National champion and two-time Pan-American champion, Stephen Hyde. If you weren’t a fan of this man before, spend a couple of hours with him and you will walk aw...
On Episode 9 of “The Cross Section Podcast” I got to hang out with one of my favorite people - Ruby West. She is a Canadian professional cyclocross racer and I first got to know Ruby in 2019 when I was able to cover her and her team that season. I picked her up at the airport on my way Bellingham for team camp and we hit it off immediately. I am very blessed to be able to say she is a good friend of mine. She is clever, smart, insightful and super fun to be around. And she can rider her bike....
On Episode 8 of “The Cross Section Podcast” I got to hang out with one a very influential filmmaker in the cycling world - Sam Smith. He was the creative mind behind a seminal 4 season series with Jeremy Powers - "Behind The Barriers" - as well as two long form documentaries about cyclocross - "Transition" and "Transitions 2" - which pretty much captured the zeitgeist of 'cross during the era of the U.S.G.P. and what many consider to be the high-water mark of American Cyclocross. His work has...
On Episode 7 of “The Cross Section Podcast” I got to hang out with one of the most balanced and competitive humans I know. Her name pretty much captures her spirit - Sunny - and she really is someone you want in your orbit. She joined me from Colorado where she lives and trains and works as a scientist. We talked about her backstory, bikes and many other topics including the origin of her Instagram handle: @run4funner . A gifted and hard-working athlete she once came within a whis...
This is part 2 of my talk with Dan Steinle. The first talk is a good primer for this episode when we dive into his style of imagery and the kinds of photography he does: street, photojournalism, editorial and sport. If you haven’t listened to that one, he is a freelance photojournalist who has been pretty immersed in the year of the protest covering both sides and being fair, in my opinion, to the whole story. To learn more, stop, go listen to Part 1 and come back to this one. This talk ...
Episode 5 of “The Cross Section Podcast” is pretty unique in the sense that this is Part One of a conversation with one of my good friends - the freelance photojournalist, Daniel Steinle who has been deeply involved with covering the protests in Portland and other places around the country from the earliest days in May and he is still at it. Part 2, tentatively titled, “January 6th” will air a few days from now and it’s a pretty amazing tale! To get a glimpse of his work go to his websi...
On Episode 4 of “The Cross Section Podcast” I got to hang out on a wintery evening with one of the raddest humans I know. She is pretty much the embodiment of what I like to explore on the podcast - bikes, music, and art - so there is little wonder that we hit it off immediately and became good friends over the years. She is something of a rolling stone and we discussed her journeys around the country and around the world since leaving Mississippi after high school. She joined me from A...
The podcast is titled in a way that allows me to and reminds me to explore many avenues that I find interesting - bikes and cyclocross, but also art and music and photography. Hence, "The Cross Section". In the spirit of the goal to explore a wide-range of topics, for Episode 3 I reached out to someone who checks a lot of the boxes that pique my interest. He is an artist I have known only in the sense of IG posts, comments, DM’s and emails but I have never actually had the chance to mee...
On Episode 2 of “The Cross Section” I got to sit down with someone very special and one of my good friends. She is person who I feel a special kinship with because my own photography career has, in some ways, paralleled her rise through the ranks of cyclocross. 4 years ago I heard of a local group of women riders based out of Sellwood Cycles who were making an all-in go at professional cyclocross. I had recently broken down as a racer and began to pick up my camera. I wandered the two blocks ...
When I thought about who I wanted to sit down with for the first episode, really, it was a no-brainer about who I wanted that person to be. Due to his bike racing and bike-building, I have known OF this person for as long as I’ve ridden and raced a bike in the PNW and in the past two years I have gotten to know him very well and a great friendship has blossomed. He is the co-owner of and steel bike fabricator at Breadwinner Cycles here in Portland. I have been blessed enough to work with...
