    Dismissed and Dejected

    Hello everyone, it's been a while since I have recorded. It's nice to be back. Last semester took it out of me, and I didn't have the energy to make any recordings. So, here is one of the things I had to deal with while I was away. Thank you all for tuning in, and I will see you in the next episode.

    12 Years from 10

    Hello everyone. Welcome back (after a long break) to Need a Zipper. In this episode, my friend Connor and I get a bit nostalgic about some of the TV shows we used to watch when we were younger. Come join us, as we discuss what was fun and how things have changed. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you all in the next episode. P.S. Like many of you, I am in college. I hope that you have a good semester, this fall. Good luck and God speed.

    Everything's Packed,... Right?

    Hello Everyone. Thanks for tuning in to another episode. This one has been in the making for a few weeks, so it took some time to publish this episode. I hope that you all enjoy hearing me talk about moving my sister out of her apartment, it was fun to look back and I'm glad that I was able to help her out. Thanks for tuning in and I'll see you all next time.

    Beers, Burgers, and Brakes

    Hello everyone. Welcome back and thanks for tuning in to NAZ once again. This episode is about, you guessed it... car trouble, again. But, this time I have friends to help me along the way. Another thing that's cool about this episode, is this is my first episode trying out Riverside editing and recording software. (Please let me know how it compares to the rest of my episodes. )

    The Final Nail

    D-AZ-ed Driving

    Hello everyone. Welcome back to another episode, and thank you for tuning in and listening. This episode is about my very long trek, from CO to AZ. It was a bit of a hassle, but it was fun to do. I hope that everyone is doing well. P.S. Sorry if the episode sounds a bit rushed, the recording software that I normally use is gone. Growing pains, as they say.

    Tire-less maintenance

    Hello everyone thank you for tuning in to NAZ. I don't know how the last few months have been for all of you, but it has been busy for me. Between starting a new semester, junking a dead car, and then buying a new car, I have been kept busy. I hope all of you tuning in to this episode have a good week.

    I Want Your SOCKS!

    Hello Everyone, it's been a while. I got busy with schoolwork, then changed jobs, and my car broke down. So, here we are. (I'll go into details about the car in the next episode.) In this episode, I share the New Year's Eve gathering and festivities I had with friends. Be advised, there are socks involved.

    Shoot, I left it at home.

    Hello everybody. Welcome back to NAZ. Today I wanted to share how my life has been going. We have all had that item that we left at home and can live without. This time, I couldn't go through my day without it. I forgot my tablet. The tablet that I take all of my class notes on. It took me quite a bit to go back and retrieve it. Thank you all for tuning in again. It has been a while since I have been in school, and the life of an engineer is hard. Which is why this episode was a bit delayed in production and recording. I will do my best to get these out on time.
