Brooke waxes rhapsodic about her love for ceramics, how linotype printing works, and the artistic mediums she flits betwixt. She talks about how her appreciation of finer details helps her overthink less, and leaves us with a valuable quote about art as a way of being, rather than an action. Check out her work at https://brookekimart.com/ Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Brooke stops by with the details on how she shampoos the goat hair of her porcelain dolls, but will anyone buy them????? The three clowns discuss how to balance making art for pleasure and art that sells. Brooke shares her dislikes (bugs, being hot, water, bumpy roads) and everyone talks about their own relationships with the great outdoors. Vast differences abound.  Reach out at wow@wunder.media...

Nicole spills the beans about her childhood affinity for a beanbag, which prompts Wolfgang and Mer to go back in time to similar discoveries. We hear about Nicole’s season of saying yes and how it led to her landing her dream job AND getting a fat rock from her dream girl. The gang discusses engagement timelines, alternatives to the question “what do you do for work?”, and who of us wants more fri...

Nicole climbs into the Wunderpod to tell us about her trickster ways, how dry her mouth got in the back of that Jeep, and how startling it was to see a penis for the first time.  Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Spontaneous, unorganized, and unwilling to change: Chad’s back.  Fresh off a cycling trip through Italy with Mama, he tells of tapping back into the importance of nurturing family relationships, how many croissants he ate each day, and the real dangers of jet lag.

Jude is back to detail what it was like to give birth for the first time in April. She shares what she learned while prepping for an unmedicated labor and how the body conducts an incredible orchestra all on its own. Sure, it was Type 2 fun, but she wasn’t scared of the pain. It probably helped to fall asleep ~*between contractions*~!?! (we didn’t know this was possible!) Plus, we unlock a new phr...

Jude joins Wolf and Mer to detail her transition from climbing dirtbag with a secondhand rattail to homesteading mama. She shares how growing up on her Nana’s remote island farm inspired her to lead a similar lifestyle, including raising sheep, spinning their wool into yarn, and dyeing it herself. They all agree that everyone’s a little bit of a horse gorl, and briefly consider Wolf’s funeral arra...

This week, it’s just the ol cowboys on a light ramble. Wolf and Mer catch each other up on what they’ve been creating lately. The episode’s ending is smooth as molasses, so that’s something to look forward to. Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Guys…he’s really gonna do it. Devon tells us about the plot of land in ID that he purchased with his family (who is also Mer’s family). We talk about his plans to steward the land, let hogs do his landscaping, and try out no-till gardening. Along the way, we hear about the fruit salad tree and water witches, and unfortunately get hit with a pop quiz on grains.  Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyri...

Devon pops by the cabin to give the wunder wheel a few spins. He schools us on MREs and antique garden tractors before a debate breaks out over the merits of thicc liquids.  Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Kai shares more about his gender evolution: being a trans man in the macho world of fire, getting swole, and how men suddenly can’t wait to ask him about his truck. The crew also discusses the broader range of gender affirming care for cis and trans people alike. Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Wolf and Mer are joined by Kai who, after accidentally becoming a firefighter, has been leading fire crews and developing fire policy ever since. We had an incredible conversation with this funny, insightful, spicy human who taught us about burning for ecological benefit and the history of our local ponderosa pine forest. Fire is medicine for the earth! Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright Wund...

We continue the conversation with Moriah and learn about why she is the only happy millennial she knows.  We venture into unforeseen territory: not checking the news, cult info from Dr Bronners, controlling babies, crab, and going to the desert for both solitude and being lonely. Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Moriah joins Wolf and Mer for a zany discourse on deprogramming, nudity as a public service, being brainwashed by Big Nature, the differences between aliens and reptilians, and what a burden it is to not be able to smell each other while FaceTiming. Meredith is particularly forgetful mid-sentence. Meanwhile, Wolf starts to realize how often he says no to things he ends up liking. Come back next we...

Mer talks about their queer awakening – in other words, their journey from prude to crude. Along with co-hosts Wolf and Madi, the gang discusses pronoun exploration, sex vs gender, fucking pockets, gender reveal parties, the fear of exploring your sexuality and wondering why we’re here at all. Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Switch up! Wolf and Madi put Mer in the hot seat this time. Mer shares about the insular Christian community they grew up in and their high stakes exit. The gang talks about becoming Yourself, being petrified and doing it anyway…and Wolf’s deep-seated elitism around renting e-scooters. Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Jack shares the story of his recent engagement to Emilee (ep 15) and the vulnerability of “being down on one knee and making your case in an endearing way.” It’s tender...it’s gooood. The three clowns discuss what it was like to be back in words class, and then debate the merits of five paragraph essays. Our guest reads two original hike-oos.  Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Jack joins Wolf and Mer for a journey back in time. They write letters to their younger selves (squishy!!) and Jack shares his first memory, raising everyone’s eyebrows. The gang reminisces about Legos and getting bullied as kids. The conversation turns to how excuses can become fact, and what it’s like to be stuck in a jail of your own creation.  Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedi...

Hannah’s back for part two! We reminisce about Parent Trap, wonder about people who manage to be casually hot, and review the rules of stainless steel pans. Big H shares her gay awakening story and the three hotties explore the omnipresent question: Am I doing gay right? They discuss the spectrum of queerness, straight passing queer relationships, the definition of androgyny (hot), and gender euph...

Hannah joins Wolf and Mer to share their week of delights. They chat about being a Jane of many trades, starting projects without having everything in place, spring breezes, ocean slime, cat teeth, resisting retail therapy, and squeaky olives. The pals debate their various roles if shipwrecked on a desert island. Catch part two next week! Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Madi joins Wolf and Mer to tell an epic tale about the spiritual harassment that led her to a week-long meditation retreat. She shares how to stay on the ride without knowing where it goes and then drops a few of her poems about an Irish pub, a lemon, and her ex. Don’t miss the little easter egg at the end.  Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia

Hey, listeners!  In an effort to make these conversations more digestible, we are going to be releasing them in two parts.  The banquet is overflowing. Look out for part two next week! Madi joins Wolf and Mer to try out Wolf's new autotune setup. They also talk about making meaning, going through the Christian motions, cold plunges, the lovers-friends pipeline, and weed delusion. The producti...

Emilee joins Wolf and Mer for an indoor rock hunt and then assigns the crew a cold plunge for next time. Brrr! Emilee shares advice for hammer-based self-defense. She unpacks the often challenging reality of her job as an elopement photographer in contrast to its glitzy external appearance. An insurance guy stops by but the show must go on. They discuss the cultural obsession around romantic love,...

Linnea joins Wolf and Mer to discuss glass, the Belgian Beaver Bandit, splooting, friendship as art, body doubling, the invisibility of being on the spectrum, masking, and seamless socks. Reach out at wow@wunder.media Copyright WunderMedia
