Radio Mano, Papa Tchango.

I think one of the reasons I love that are Radio Mano, Papa Tchango,

is that despite having lived in Spain for 20 plus years, I never quite worked out the rolling of the Rs.

I can roll things, but I roll them at the back of my tongue, not at the front of my tongue.

It's one of those things that you either learn when you're young or it'll never happen because the muscles that you need to do it need to be activated at a young age or they atrophy.

I don't know that's a metaphor for lots of things, I'm sure.

Listen, I recorded a lot of podcasts before I left Portland because I thought I'm going to be on the road,

I'm going to be super busy, I'm going to be traveling around, dealing with all the stuff you deal with when you're traveling.

I'm not going to have a chance to record new podcasts for a while until I get situated in Spain and start meeting people and yet, yet, yet, yet.

So I sort of banked a bunch of them and then I got to LA, we got to LA here in LA, we've been here a month, and while I'm in LA, I always have an embarrassment of riches in terms of interesting people to chat with.

I've been recording more than usual here in LA and because a lot of these are sort of topical or time sensitive or it's just it's just fun to record something and get it out, you know, immediately.

I've these people that I recorded podcasts with back in Portland are sitting there and it's two months later and their episode hasn't come out and I fear they might, you know, they're starting to get paranoid and wondering, does Chris really love me?

Was I boring? Was there some reason? Did I say something wrong? Well, no, none of you said anything wrong.

So if you're listening to this rest assured, it's purely a question of scheduling weirdness. And so what I'm going to do is start releasing at a faster clip.

So I'll release to a week or whatever I can get to because I still have to sit down and do the intros and, you know, do all the editing and whatever.

So I'm going to start releasing like, yeah, I think to a week for a while until I sort of, you know, get the the backlog worked out because I don't want anyone to think that you are not fascinating and wonderful and, you know, honestly, there have been very few of these interviews that I recorded where either during or after the interview, I thought, oh, I don't know about that one.

Really, very, very few. Generally, I don't invite someone to be on the podcast until I'm 99% sure that it's going to be well worth their time.

So anyhow, this episode is one of the people that I recorded before leaving Portland, Heather. Heather will tell you her life story in this, which is really quite inspirational.

I have to say a lot of the correspondence I get from people who listen to this are people who feel that they're stuck in one way or another. They're trapped in some shitty little town there.

Or a shitty little country or shitty big country.

And there aren't a lot of people around who get them, they either they're a sense of humor or their interest or their intelligence or their curiosity or their desire to see the world or whatever it is isn't shared by the people in the community around them.

And so they find a community in podcasts and maybe in Joe Rogan's community and this community in Duncan and Danielle Ebolelli, they find people like them out there in the world through these podcasts.
