Roam Schooled is a show where I conduct in-depth, in-person investigations into topics chosen by a child (one of my 6-year-old twin daughters). We go out in our 1991 Winnebago and talk to people, in person. One question typically leads us to another question and away we go... It's a show about the pleasure of finding things out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Don't be shocked or surprised, Roam Schoolers. The email came in yesterday: "On Friday evening, administrators were informed of threats made against the school on social media by a high school student. Police were immediately notified, and the student was questioned by police. Due to privacy laws and the fact that this is now a police matter, we ca…

We remember the lies we tell. Sometimes they stick with us for a lifetime. For guest Cheryl Strayed, lies were among the baggage that blocked her happiness until a long backpacking trip afforded her the strength to bring them in to roost somewhere healthy. “Why do we lie” was the initial question. More reasons that you might have thought. Hosted on…

We asked hundreds of people about how they encounter the animals they may (or may not) eat. So many conversations, all over the map. We chose these two: A farmer and a meat thinker.

In this episode we take back “giving” - a term awash with holiday smarm. We dive deep into the nuance and complications of gifts and explore the nature of generosity with some listener stories and a case study: the “altruistic kidney donor”.

In a second episode about guns and the Second Amendment, we take unexpected turns, launching forward from the basic premise that the genie is out of the bottle. We go deep with two brothers who lost brothers, we go shooting, and we dive into the second amendment with eyes wide open to historical context and legal interpretation. It's not a show abo…

Roam Schooled approaches the seemingly impossible, polarizing issue of guns, the Second Amendment, and gun control by reframing the questions, turning them upside down, looking deep, and looking wide for common ground. This episode contains some profanity, and also very well may change the way you view the issues being discussed. Hosted on Acast. S…

Hosted on …

The girls turn seven in this episode. Seems like we spend a lot of time both contemplating the moment of our birth and pondering how we will die. Birthdays and End of Days are a running theme as we talk with an asteroid-hunter, an epidemiologist, and hear interesting stories about birth and near-death from those who have pondered it considerably mo…

In our debut episode, we went in search of answers to seemingly simple questions: Why do people have tombstones? What is memorialization?
