PODcakes

Ian Fridell

This podcast takes a long form deep dive into our guests as we learn about their experiences, views and everything that we find interesting. PODcakes is a play on words that comes from my YouTube channel, Motorcycles and Pancakes. Originally, this was a podcast to talk all things motorcycles related. But, very quickly after I started this, I knew I wanted to expand to more than motorcycles. Show Guide Inside the Helmet are shows about all things moto related and those who ride. Outside the Helmet is a guest unrelated to the moto world. The Current View is based on current world events.

    Episode 19 | LIVING after my 19 year old son committed SUICIDE with Angie Ball

    I sit down with Angie to discuss the devastating news no parent ever wants to hear: her son has taken his own life. We delve into Angie's background, her journey of starting a family, and the heartbreaking loss she endured. This episode is profoundly emotional and powerful, and we hope this will help offer solace and hope to anyone who might be experiencing a similar tragedy, and show that there is a path forward after the suicide of a loved one.

    Episode 18 | Inside the Helmet with Lauren Trantham

    PODcakes | Episode 18 | Lauren Trantham with Ride my Road This podcast is undoubtedly the most significant one I've produced so far, and it might be one of the most impactful ones I've ever listened to. Lauren's dedication through her nonprofit, Ride My Road, and her involvement with the Epik Project to combat sex and human trafficking is truly motivational. I was unaware of the true nature and appearance of trafficking until now. The content of this episode was so profound that it left me unsettled for days after recording. This comes after discovering her background, her global journeys, and her harrowing experience of being abducted at gunpoint. This episode is definitely not one to miss.

    Episode 17 | The CRASH Debrief

    PODcakes | Episode 17 | The Crash Debrief On Thursday, May 30, 2024, at approximately 09:23, on Oregon State Highway 78 near Mile Post 26, Papa Cakes and I were involved in a motorcycle crash that was by far the most violent experience of my life totaling both of our bikes. Overwhelmed by the tremendous support and numerous messages, I've found it challenging to keep up with all the responses. So, Critter, Papa Cakes, Shawn, and I gathered to share our perspectives on the accident and the aftermath that followed. We learned a great deal about the subsequent events, and I realized that my condition was more serious than I had initially thought. Critter and Shawn have been remarkable, offering assistance and care throughout the event and in the subsequent weeks. What I anticipated was a brief 30-45 minute PODcakes episode extended into 2 hours and 20 minutes. The details, stories, and facts that emerged were too significant to cut short. I am immensely grateful that we are all here today to discuss this unfortunate event. WARNING: This episode talks about a motorcycle accident in detail. This episode also contains foul language that may be unsuitable for a younger audience. Viewer discretion is advised. __________________________________________________ Donate to Caelin here: https://gofund.me/4a42e1ba Follow  @Crittermoto  on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.
