We did it, 52 episodes in one year! Through setbacks and challenges, we reached this milestone, and I want to thank every guest, listener, and sponsor who made it possible. With 2025 on the horizon, the future of The Life of Phys Podcast looks bigger than ever.

To mark this moment, I’m joined by Dean Hinnant, a photographer and storyteller who roams the highways and cities of the United States, revealing the character of America through his lens.

Dean’s work blends sharp realism with a poetic eye, capturing the grit, grace, and fleeting beauty of everyday existence. Guided by a spirit of freedom, love of living, and the mysticism of Americana, his photos and words are an ode to the human condition — unvarnished, alive, and achingly true.

In this episode, Dean shares:

• How he captures the spirit of Americana through photography

• The balance of realism and poetry in his visual storytelling

• Stories from roaming the roads and cities of the U.S.

• Why his work serves as an ode to the human condition

  
  

This episode is both a celebration of a milestone year and a powerful conversation about art, resilience, and the stories that connect us.
