Part 1: Filmmaker and Documentarian - Madison Walker (Producer Madi)

Madison Walker Martin is a filmmaker and a seasoned adventurer. She spent three years as a producer for the Texas Parks and Wildlife PBS Show where she showcased the grand landscapes and folks adventuring in the great state parks of Texas. She is a natural born leader and gifted storyteller. Earlier this year, Madi left the PBS show to focus on freelancing. Her vision and creative ethos will produce magic in the world of film and documentaries. I can’t wait to see what she shares with viewing audiences. She is a good friend, and I our beloved Producer Madi on The Tinstreamer Podcast.   Madi and I chatted for over two hours, so you get a two-part episode. In this first show, we take a deep dive into Rick Springfield’s song Jessie’s Girl. (I celebrate all of Rick’s catalog.) That conversation leads me to recount my history racing shifter karts on the Texas State Circuit. Madi tells us about a very special segment she did for the Texas Parks and Wildlife PBS show on the Texas Gulf Coast. We tease our next big project coming this fall with Jerod Foster, Simon Parmley, Michael Ortiz, Justin Rex, and a Texas Tech University student film crew.   I share my thoughts on Quentin Tarantino being  overrated, and Madi tells how her dad used Pulp Fiction to impart a very important life lesson. We close out this first part with a quick rundown of Tanner Fowler’s love of Disney Music on the 2019 Adventure Media trip to Big Bend Ranch State Park. We love you and that quarter Tanner.
