onefjef

This episode is a cult-classic Christmas radio show I recorded while in film school in 2006. It’s performed in character and marks the first appearance of Feffrey, then called Nigel. Weird, unhinged, and very much a departure from my usual episodes.

This week’s episode is a conversation I recorded with Chris Ryan for his podcast, Tangentially Speaking. He let me share the full audio here. We sat outside his place in Crestone, Colorado and talked about desire, death, politics, art, Korea, hitchhiking, cancel culture, the weirdness of the moment we’re living in, and why connection feels so hard and so necessarySubscribe to Tangentally Speaking here: https://chrisryan.substack.com/podcast and buy his book Sex at Dawn at fine bookstores everywhere.Please show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to the Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/onefjefInstagram: @onefjefpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/onefjefpodX: @onefjefTikTok: @onefjefpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onefjefEmail: onefjefpod@gmail.comYou can also call the podcast and leave a voicemail at 1-669-241-5882 and I will probably play it on the air.Thank you for listening, please do it again, but while having sex.Onefjef is produced, edited & hosted by Jef Taylor.

I turned 52 in Mexico City and recorded the whole strange week: biking through Condesa, wandering the Tianguis de Comonfort, drinking giant micheladas, eating the world’s least subtle tongue taco, and chasing the legendary camote man’s whistle across Parque México. Patricia joins me, of course, and tries to make me a braver eater. Airports, mariachi chaos, numerology, and one very pink gringo — it’s all in here.Please show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to the Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/onefjefInstagram: @onefjefpodSubstack: https://substack.com/@onefjefFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/onefjefpodX: @onefjefTikTok: @onefjefpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onefjefEmail: onefjefpod@gmail.comYou can also call the podcast and leave a voicemail at 1-669-241-5882 and I will probably play it on the air.Thank you for listening, please do it again, but while eating tongue tacos.Onefjef is produced, edited & hosted by Jef Taylor.

I sit down with with my 14-year-old cousin Mia — a high-school freshman, wrestler, and alto sax player — to talk about what it’s like to grow up in 2025.

I talk to Gary Clarke, who is currently in Huaraz, Peru—cold mountains, thin air, and 7,500 kilometers left before he reaches Tierra del Fuego. We talk about bad Spanish classes, hot air balloons, oil rig sunrises, why most people don’t chase the life they want, and why the best way to see the world is on the seat of a bicycle.

I sit down (virtually) with my old friend — actor, musician, writer, and unapologetic decaf drinker — Nicholas Webber. Nicholas and I have made a lot of things together over the years, and this time the thing we made is a conversation about fatherhood, faith, AI, and why technology might be the new religion. We get into logic and mystery, and the strange comfort of the small rituals that hold a life together.Follow Nicholas on Instagram @wuckaldListen to NICKCASEY's newest album – Life in My Head – on Spotify or Apple Music, watch the the video we made for Bandages, and learn more about the band at nickcaseymusic.com.Please show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to the Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/onefjefInstagram: @onefjefpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/onefjefpodX: @onefjefTikTok: @onefjefpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onefjefEmail: onefjefpod@gmail.comYou can also call the podcast and leave a voicemail at 1-669-241-5882 and I will probably play it on the air.Thank you for listening, please do it again, but while drinking decaf.Onefjef is produced, edited & hosted by Jef Taylor.

A solo episode from a quick trip to Colorado: Garden of the Gods, a hot tub under the stars, a guy at a bar who says he was kidnapped by the cartel, and an unsuccessful hunt for Crestone’s outdoor funeral pyre.

In this semi-milestone episode, I enter the onefjef multiverse and sit down with… Jef Taylor. We talk about the odd intimacy of sharing an identity, the pretension & justification behind dropping the superfluous f, and what happens when you realize another version of you is out there working at a zoo, documenting Hot Wheels jousting, and looking for little pockets of joy wherever he can find them.

This week I talk with writer and former Capitol Hill staffer — and my old co-worker — Evelyn Quartz about the strange afterlife of political work: how two people who once believed in “hope and change” ended up disillusioned with the system they helped run. We trade stories about burnout, ideology, and how a job that’s supposed to “change the world” can quietly drain your sense of meaning. Evelyn traces her path from congressional communications director to Substack essayist, and we get into money in politics, media grift, the post-2024 hangover, Tucker Carlson’s odd influence, and what it means to live an honest life after leaving Washington.Follow Evelyn's Substack here: https://quartzevelyn.substack.com/Please show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to the Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/onefjefInstagram: @onefjefpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/onefjefpodX: @onefjefTikTok: @onefjefpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onefjefEmail: onefjefpod@gmail.comYou can also call the podcast and leave a voicemail at 1-669-241-5882 and I will probably play it on the air.Thank you for listening, please do it again, but with more heterodoxy.Onefjef is produced, edited & hosted by Jef Taylor.

In this bonus episode of onefjef, I welcome back my dear friend Chris Casey—the very first listener to email the show, thereby winning the infamous email contest. Chris shares a heartfelt “acceptance speech,” a story about proving his mother wrong, and a perspective on seizing one's destiny (with AirPods and a $6 coffee in hand). We play his original voice memo, talk about prizes, party-crashing in Columbus, film festivals, self-driving cars, and why social media makes everything worse.Also: a new contest is announced—just email a photo to onefjefpod@gmail.com and you, too, might win a prize.

In my first post-road trip interview, I talk to Anastasia Katsina, who grew up in post-Soviet Lithuania, immigrated to Columbus, Ohio as a teen, and eventually found her path as a yoga teacher and somatic therapist. We talk about resilience, Lithuania's spiritual traditions, living in Switzerland and Norway, and how the pandemic unexpectedly brought her back to Columbus. And also how it's hard to see the label when you're sitting inside your own jar.Learn more about Anastasia's practice and sign up for one of her classes at: www.sijasomatics.com and follow her on Instagram @anastasija_katcyna.Please show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to the Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/onefjefInstagram: @onefjefpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/onefjefpodX: @onefjefTikTok: @onefjefpodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onefjefEmail: onefjefpod@gmail.comYou can also call the podcast and leave a voicemail at 1-669-241-5882 and I will probably play it on the air.Thank you for listening, please do it again, but in Columbus, Ohio.Onefjef is produced, edited & hosted by Jef Taylor.

I took a break from my road trip last week so I’m releasing an interview with my friend, filmmaker Alex Mallis, whose feature film The Travel Companion premiered at Tribeca earlier this year.
