Audio Stew

Pain reveals the soul. My guest today is my cousin, Cory Dishman, and he’s gone through a lot of pain the past few years. We talked about his unique perspective on life ever since going through these hardships and how he’s learned to appreciate the small things in life, the joy of a dream fulfilled, and the hope of a God who cares. Enjoy! Audio Stew is a podcast where I talk with friends, family,...

God calls his creation good, so we ought to go outside and enjoy its goodness! In this episode, I talk with Jonathan Wentz about a few of his adventures as a wildlife biologist. He loves to be outside and experience the joys of nature. I hope you’ll enjoy this episode and be inspired to enjoy the great outdoors as well! Audio Stew is a podcast where I talk with friends, family, and acquaintances a...

We discuss the differences between the pandemic situation in Japan and America in addition to our personal experiences.

I love every person and conversation I’ve had on this show, but I’ve been so excited for months to record this episode! Connor Gosnell came on the show to talk about his experience with Royal Family Kids Camp, an organization dedicated to serving children in the foster care system with a truly amazing week of summer camp. I’m a firm believer in the impact of this camp, so please do what you can to...

Hope you bought tickets to the gun show baby! Too cheesy? Probably. Anywho, my guest John Mulholland and I talk about his passion for gun collecting. This episode features history, Youtube strategies, a whole lotta gun terminology I don’t know, and more! It was super fun to talk with him about a hobby he’s invested in. I hope you enjoy!

You know all those late nights conversations you have with friends that somehow just hit different? It can be so refreshing and encouraging to drop your guard and be wacky and honest with others.

Love is in the air! To celebrate the Valentine’s Day spirit, I had a conversation with a couple about their journey from meeting each other to marriage. Today’s guests are Shanna and Lane Laucomer, my sister and brother-in-law. Everyone experiences unique relationships, but Shanna and Lane had a very uncommon dating relationship. Tune in to hear how they navigated that era of their lives and about...

Some bonds last in spite of the miles separating each other. JJ Springer was my youth pastor back in high school, but we've kept in contact over the past couple years as I've moved into a new stage of life. He's one of my favorite people to talk to, so I decided to have him on the show to discuss his time spent in youth ministry. Our conversation wandered down a few bunny trails, but it was pretty...

It’s finally here! Season One has arrived. To kick off the new year and new season, I had a conversation with my dad about his time in the military. He served for a few years in the army around 40 years ago. My dad has a knack for remembering events from his past, so this conversation has so many details and is super lively. He took a bit to get rolling, but once he did, he barely stopped! I hope...

Sometimes in life you just need time to reflect on the past; I just didn't think I could do it aloud for almost two and a half hours. 2020 has been a rough year for a lot of people (myself included), so I thought it'd be apt to sit down for a while to talk through the highs and lows. There's a lot to sift through, and life is undoubtedly difficult at times. But life is also very beautiful, and God...

It's the final regular episode of Season 0! Today's episode features a conversation I had with my philosophy professor at UNK.

Today's episode is a group discussion featuring 3 awesome women involved with International Justice Mission on the University of Nebraska-Kearney campus. IJM is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending human trafficking through raising awareness and assisting those in need. This is a super great cause, and it'll be well worth your time to better educate yourself. Enjoy! Audio Stew is a podcast...

After months of trying to record together, the "one and realistically not the only because surely someone else in the world shares his name (but maybe the only!)" Spencer Parish has graced Audio Stew with his presence. Spencer is my pastor at Calvary Kearney, a relatively small church located in downtown Kearney, NE. He's an awesome dude, and we gathered to discuss how Calvary Kearney was planted...

In today's episode, you'll hear from a few of my high school friends (Brad Hilderbrand, Josh Strong, and Toby Zaruba). We got together mostly just to goof around for a while since we hadn't met up as a group in some time. But hopefully amidst the craziness and Space Jam chatter, you appreciate the thoughts on friendship and the importance of forming close bonds early in life. Enjoy! Audio Stew is...

In today's episode, you'll hear from Ryan Durham about his life on the road. Ryan's been a truck driver for over 20 years and has a wealth of interesting stories to tell. We discuss questions like, "How does being on the road affect relationships?" and "Are truck drivers misconceptualized by the rest of society?" and "Is misconceptualized even a word?" (probably? lol). This was a really neat conve...

Hopefully that'll make this episode more accessible for some people. Enjo...

Hey everyone! This is a little bit of a different styled podcast than the normal Audio Stew episodes. It's unedited (bear with us lol) and is potentially the pilot for a new podcast that would come next year, which would be a show where my sister and I discuss the lyrics from various music albums. Anywho, this episode's about "The Ways and Means" EP/Album by Sarah Sparks, an independent folk/indie...

Today's episode features a conversation I had with my best friend! He's a very determined person, trying to live life to the fullest and fulfill his purpose as a follower of Christ. Part of this goal involves learning self-discipline. Whether it's in little things such as establishing healthy routine or extremes testing the limits of his body, he's learned how to control his body and mind to be a...
