Stranger Connections Lisa David Olson

Check out the first guest to ever rebuff my invitation to stay weird (at the very end). I was caught off guard as is Nathan Timmel's specialty. 

Listen in with us, as we discuss Timmel's very cool YouTube comedy special, called Unapologetic. It's funny, it's fast-paced, and it's free! 

Nathan Timmel is a digital creator, author, total influencer, and very fun comic. With a wife and kids, he is one of the good guys who knows where the humor lies. 

We talk about his special and the quirky behind-the-scenes details, why it matters how you tell a joke, can you really read an audience, and why we keep seeking acceptance. 

His podcast is called Idiots on Parade and it's a wild ride with his co-host Jake Vevera (and sometimes extra guests) to jab fun at current events.

Retired homicide detective Mike Hammond was with the Chicago Police Department for 22 years. He has SEEN some things . . .  and I get nosy and ask everything I wanted to know more about. 

CAUTION:  Some content may be harder to hear as crimes are discussed, so listen with caution. 

We talk about polygraphs (lie detectors), the main case Hammond can not let go of, mental health, murders in Chicago, interview styles, gaslighting, lies, common sense, and how to get into the mind of a criminal, to help keep others safe. 

Check out Mike Hammond's podcast; Detective Story (with Mike Hammond) which has a focus on victims and their families, as well as talking about actual cases and investigations.

"Try to remember that they just hate themselves, and they're takin' it out on you." This beautiful lyric is from Amanda Grace's latest album (her 8th!). The album is Give Me Away and this song is 'Love Yourself'.

Amanda Grace is a Minnesota native who travels, performs, and collaborates to create unique shows and brilliant albums.  

In this episode, you'll find out why Amanda has plans to hold a show at a cemetery, what her musical tastes were growing up, and how she is in a long-term happy marriage with super cool kids. (Tough to write break-up songs with all she has going for her). 

Amanda sings part of a song for us (spoiler - it's beautiful!) and I even inspire a new song for the next album. I'm gifted like that.
