    Boys, I Don't Know If I'd Do That Anymore: Dick Wakefield

    Dick Wakefield grew up in Fort Smith, Arkansas at a time when kids had paper routes, neighborhoods had characters, and Sunday afternoons belonged to your grandparents. In this heritage episode, Zack sits down with his dad for stories spanning three generations — from a 102-year-old great-grandfather who never raised his voice, to a band called the Brutes, to a moped "situation" in Mexico.

    Chasing Eagles: Todd Martin’s Alaska Adventure

    In this episode of the Moon Ridge Podcast from moonridgecompany.com, Zack Wakefield sits down with longtime friend, business partner, avid traveler, and true hat aficionado Todd Martin. Todd shares stories from his recent trip to Alaska during the Iditarod, where he photographed bald eagles in the frozen bays outside of Homer, Alaska, explored remote Alaskan towns, and experienced one of the most unique events in the world up close. The conversation covers everything from wildlife photography and travel adventures to Africa, Scotland, scotch, and Todd’s hat collection. It’s a laid-back conversation about travel and why the best memories usually come from getting a little off the beaten path.

    Bonus: Weathering It — A Tornado Warning Episode

    Not every episode gets recorded on a schedule — and this one definitely didn't. In this bonus episode, Zack and the family hunker down during a tornado warning and keep the conversation going anyway. It's a little chaotic, a little unplanned, and it's a chat with the kids about their upcoming summer plans and the previous school year. Sometimes the best moments happen when the weather has other ideas.
