EP: 4 - A special tailgate session in the Chihuahuan Desert

In episode 4, we are live to tape (SD Card) in the Chihuahuan Desert at Rio Bravo Ranch just outside of Presidio, Texas. This is a Tinstreamer DesertCast – tailgate session. I sit down with Lindsay Kennedy a professor of practice at Texas Tech University in the school of Agriculture Education and Communications. Former guests Jerod Foster and Justin Rex are on the scene too. We spent the previous day scouting (by bike) our water sources for Texas Tech’s Adventure Media bikepacking class that will be held over spring break. We rose with the sun, had coffee, and the wind was dead still. My morning voice was deeper than normal with hints of gravel, so it seemed like the opportune time for a DesertCast.   This is a short episode and just an introduction to Dr. Lindsay Kennedy. She is a seasoned, intrepid adventurer and an expert on sorghum. Lindsay needs a full hour-long episode dedicated to her. Stay tuned for that at later date. In this show, we catch up with Justin Rex and the mistakes I made in my monologue to his podcast, and we uncover a celebrity friend that Justin failed to mention on the show. The ever-popular Jerod Foster narrates our desert surroundings and gives his thoughts on the upcoming 2024 Adventure Media class.   TV and movie references in this podcast are as follows: Urban Cowboy, Northern Exposure, Dazed and Confused, Three Amigos, and Trading Spaces. I get choked up pontificating about the movie Hope Floats and feel inclined to bring up the TV show Air Wolf. This episode has it all. You can expect more tailgate sessions like this in the future. And as always, I appreciate you listening.   Full Zen Ahead!
