#316: Jerod Foster -- The Bike as a Storytelling Vehicle, His Fantastic Adventure Media Program

This week we are sitting down and chatting with adventurer, filmmaker, and professor Jerod Foster. (Come to think of it...those three descriptors make this dude sound like the Texas version of Indiana Jones!) In this episode we chat all things filmmaking, storytelling, bikepacking and creativity. Jerod created a course at Texas Tech called Adventure Media where he takes students bike packing all of Spring Break with the purpose of coming out of the desert with a film that they all collaborated on. The class is an amazing concept and I am very excited to share this episode with you! Really enjoyed hearing about Jerod's perspective and experiences as an adventurer and storyteller. (SIDE NOTE: On top of Jerod being a great interview, I am very proud of the Outro at the end of this one. I really wanted to dive in and talk about what art means to me, why I think it's an important pursuit, and how I've connected to it over the years. When art touches your soul, it stays with you forever and I truly feel like we need more people enthusiastically pursuing their own uniqueness and sharing themselves with the world!) (SIDE NOTE #2: Huge thanks to Thomas Mullins for recommending Jerod as a guest after hearing him on the excellent "Bikes or Death" Podcast!)
