On Carlson Drive, a dusty little dirt road of memories from the wit and whimsy of storyteller Wendy Bonifield, is a podcast that invites you to settle in, pull up a chair, and get to know Wendy and her family as she takes us on a journey of stories.
Featuring accounts of life, love, and family as well as conversations with the characters who bring them to life, On Carlson Drive takes a look at the tales we tell and the people we get to know through the stories they share.

Easy As Peasey
D.I.Y., home makeover, fixer upper...whatever you call it, we're right there with you. Sometimes you either like to do the work or you need to do the work yourself. And we've had our share of projects around the house. In this episode, Wendy talks about the many do-it-yourself house work that we either chose to do or was forced on us.
Wendy is joined by her husband Randy as they relive some of the funny moments along their home renovation journey.

You Never Know Who’s Listening
Just in time, OUR CHRISTMAS EPISODE drops! This one is about telling stories and a reminder that who is listening really matters. And in response, Wendy crafts a special Christmas story for the little ears that we know are tuning in (and picking up a lot more than we realize).
The conversation that follows is one where we set up a microphone to see what we might be able to catch with Wendy and her grandson, Micah. Then Wendy and Erin (Micah's mom) discuss what little ears hear (and repeat) and how one particular child is so particular about a nativity set.

What Grace Overheard
It's not like she meant to be eavesdropping – or did she? – but what she heard was her mother talking about her. Sometimes living in the same house can be challenging.
The conversation that follows is between Wendy and Grace. They discuss the way people can see the world from different perspectives, even when you share a whole lot in common.

Losing Ann
An unexpected relationship begins after a difficult diagnosis and a friendship emerges. And while there is so often joy in the journey, sometimes that journey also involves walking alongside others in the midst of their suffering. Ann's story is one of deep loss, yet it is one filled with hope, joy, and gratitude.
The conversation that follows is between Wendy and Ann's husband, Ron. They discuss the challenges of Alzheimer's, watching your loved one deal with its unrelenting grip, and the gift of having shared life with someone like Ann.

Last Days
A phone call. A surgery. A terminal diagnosis. Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn that alters everything we once knew. And on the other side of goodbye, there is tremendous sorrow, grief, and gratitude.
The conversation that follows is between Wendy and her friend, Lori. They discuss the gift of a good father, what it means to reflect on a life well lived, and how their own grief brings about a deep sense of gratitude.
