Native Tongues

From junior detective work through a lovestruck Honduran adventure, we follow a set of unusual threads that all lead to Julie Scharper's career as an Enterprise Reporter, where she was awarded Best in Baltimore for an investigative series about a toxic work culture in the MD Park Service in 2023. It's an entertaining story well worth listening to!   Follow us for more content on instagram @nativet...

Fist fights, AC/DC riffs, the best pizza in NY, and the origin of Teenage Dirtbag. It's all here in our conversation with Brendan B. Brown of the pop/rock band Wheatus. Listen now.   Follow us on instagram @nativetonguespod for more content.

This is one of our favorite parts of this podcast, discovering real talent in unexpected places.  Nicolette is a name to watch out for. She's a breath of fresh air, makes for a fun conversation and loves to talk food as much as we do. Go listen to her music after this episode.

Screenwriter, director, script consultant, novelist...Jamie keeps himself busy. We discuss indie filmmaking and working in the studio system, what a career in this business actually looks like, and gush over our favorite concert venue.   Follow us on instagram @nativetonguespod

Boots on the street and head in the clouds. We step inside the academic mind this week of poet, teacher and Baltimore City police officer, Ed Doyle-Gillespie.   Follow us on instagram @nativetonguespod

Midwest roots with east coast attitude. We chat with author, Matthew Norman about his writing career, his time at Under Armour and our mutual love for Olivia Rodrigo!   Follow us on Instagram @nativetonguespod. Follow Matt @TheNormanNation and www. TheNormanNation.com

We talk this week with musical nomad, Jupie! He walks us through an ideal day in Baltimore, discusses growing up as a roadie, production tricks for recording, and life in Cairo.   Look up all his recommends on our instagram @nativetonguespod Follow him @jupiefullyloaded  

This week we're spending time with the guitarist/vocalist of the pop punk band, Ford The River. We learn that touring and chasing fame is for the young, but you're never too old to rock out.

This week Ken and I continue to expose ourselves (note - don't forget to change that wording before publishing) in our ongoing Q&A. We then sit down with author, Jeff Elkins to discuss writing, philanthropy, traumatic events and leaving the evangelical church. Fortunately, he is able to find humor in all of it.

This week we speak with writer, nomad, professor, humorist and all around open book Marion Winik. She makes for a very fun and constantly surprising conversation.  Follow us on Instagram @nativetonguespod

We head to Massachusetts to speak with horror writer, Paul Tremblay. We learn about witches, Parker Brothers, having a book adapted into an M. Night Shyamalan movie, and some good concert venues!

New co-host. New theme. New year! Episodes coming this week!

Best get on board now. We got people to talk to and can't keep 'em waiting. Oh wow, that theme's a real banger.
