Episodes

  1. Leveling Up

    I've worked hard to remember and learn from my past, and I've also had to grow beyond it. The same is true, I've found, in how history shapes and affects current events; we have to remember the past while not being shackled by it. All of these have collided together for me recently - in a painful...

  2. Everyone Has A Story Worth Telling

    Whether in a written story, the annals of history, or in life, the smallest of developments can produce immense consequences. How we respond to them often then tells the story of who we each are. In this episode, I talk with Julia Cannell, the Executive Director of Airway Sciences for Kids, a...

  3. Thunderstruck

    The bullet holes we build from come in all shapes and sizes, from all sorts of sources. In this episode, my great friend Cyra Sadowl stops in to discuss her own life rebuild from the wound of her late husband - and my close friend - Matt's sudden death. Cyra was also my chief creative consultant...

  5. Open to Page One - A Reading From Krelle's Inferno

    Hey there, all you cool cats and kittens! Grab a snack, a beverage of your choice, get comfy, and settle in to listen to the first chapter of my novel. It's like an old-time radio show, but without the campy studio-manufactured background noises and cheesy accents. Instead, it's me in my campy,...

  6. Based on Real Events. . .If They Went to Hell

    Finally! With JDK's personal backstory established, it's time to kick of the podcast season's second half with the history behind his novel, Krelle's Inferno. Rooted in JDK's professional research and knowledge of the Second World War and early Cold War, the book instead explores an alternate...

  7. We Are[n't] Our Wounds

    Join JDK for an intimate and fun conversation with Steven Crozier - musician, writer, and Incredible Human Being - about the roots of creativity and expression, not as products of inherent "genius," but from (and through) the wounds we all have. Steven and JDK will talk about how their creative...

  8. My Brooklyn Bridge

    (Mature Content Warning - Lots of Adult Language and Topics. Keep the kiddies away). Join JDK for a wide-ranging conversation with his "smokejumper", Jay Parker, founder of the No More Secrets recovery program. Brooklyn-born Jay tells his own epic rebuilding story, then he and JDK compare notes…

  9. Voice Lessons

    A conversation with emotional intelligence and addiction expert Dr. Hilarie Cash, LMHC, Ph.D. Learn how she helped JDK find the inner strength - his "Voice" - to move beyond his past and begin the growth that led to his writing of Krelle's Inferno. https://www.wordsbyjdk.com/

  10. Fireball Ain't Just a Drink

    On previous episodes I've spent a lot of time speaking about Geren Krelle's story from my book, Krelle's Inferno. In this episode, I talk about mine. More specifically, I give you background on the emotional challenges I faced growing up and into adulthood that brought me to a crisis point where…

  11. An Accidental Autobiography

    It's a truism that author's write what they know, and Geren Krelle - the main character in my novel – is well known to me after all, I created him. It wasn't until after the writing process was complete, though, that I came to realize WHY I knew him so well. In many ways (most, if I'm being...

  12. [re]Building a Life in Real Time

    In this first episode, I talk about what it means – and what it's like – to be a "man in the middle." In the middle of rebuilding and redirecting my life after blowing up my old one spectacularly about a decade ago. Emotional growth has been the driving force behind the rebuild and it turns out,...

  13. Prologue - Building From the Bullet Hole

    Like Krelle's Inferno, I wanted to share a prologue for Building from the Bullet Hole (it's the author in me!). This episode is a quick overview of the WHY and WHAT (to expect) during the first season. I'm thrilled that you're willing to come on this new journey as I lay the foundation of how...
