The Tinstreamer Podcast

Our podcast is like our logo. Simple and colorful with unique characters (check out those fonts). There are no life hacks here. The Tinstreamer Podcast is about folks living life on their own terms. Texas based outdoor adventure writer Brandon Weaver is your host. He interviews creators, artists, and innovators that have traded the nine to five for the FIVE to NINE. There’s no line between work and play for a Tinstreamer. They manifested their flow in life and flourish in the process of chasing down the unconventional dream. That’s why it’s Full Zen Ahead!

    The Great Plains Project - Part Four - The Wrap Up with director Simon Parmley and Jerod Foster

    The Great Plains Project - Part Four - The Wrap Up Show   In this episode, I sit down with Simon Parmley and Jerod Foster as we recap our Great Plains journey. Simon led our production team from a heavily modified Jeep Wrangler while Jerod and I rode motorcycles. We talk about the origins of the project and the forthcoming docu-series about the trip. This conversation is a great side dish for your holiday travels. If you don’t come away inspired by this episode, I’ll refund your money.   Simon Parmley commutes every day on his Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle to his job at Texas Tech Public Media, where he is the director of content. Along with Madison Walker Martin, Simon was our director and show-runner on The Great Plains Project, a production that spanned 15 days with lots of moving parts and personnel. Simon's innovative storytelling on a public media budget gives The Great Plains Project the appearance of a multi-million dollar documentary. I’ve seen the preliminary trailers, and they are epic!   What is The Great Plains Project? Well, I’m glad you asked. Jerod Foster and I rode adventure motorcycles 3,500 miles from Presidio, Texas on the Mexico border to the North Dakota/Canada line. We lived off our Honda Africa Twins and slept in tents for 15 days. We rode gravel, dirt, and the occasional asphalt backroad up the middle of America. We were followed by a crew of Texas Tech students led by directors Simon Parmley, and Madison Walker Martin, filming a docu-series for Texas Tech PBS.     Check out thegreatplainsproject.com for daily dispatches featuring my words and Jerod’s photos. It’s like a coffee table book for your computer.

    The Great Plains Project - Part Three - Crew Members Eddie McBroom and Hannah Hudgens

    Jerod Foster and I rode adventure motorcycles 3,500 miles from Presidio, Texas on the Mexico border to the North Dakota/Canada line. We lived off our Honda Africa Twins and slept in tents for 15 days. We rode gravel, dirt, and the occasional asphalt backroad up the middle of America. We were followed by a crew of Texas Tech students led by directors Simon Parmley, and Madison Walker, filming a docu-series for Texas Tech PBS.   In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Hudgens and Eddie “Pants” McBroom, both were camera operators on The Great Plains Project. They talk about life on the road, blissful tent slumber after a full day, and their childhood antics. Hannah grew up like me, riding motorcycles and three-wheelers. Eddie bought an old yellow dog school bus from his high school in Haskell, Texas and took it to prom. Hmmm, these stories are oddly similar to my youth. I feel like Gen X and Gen Z have a lot more in common than we think.   Eddie and Hannah are just two members of our 10 person student film crew. They are all worthy of a podcast. It was an honor to travel and work with every single one of them: Angelyna Gonzales - Savanna Montgomery - Anna Walker - Shaylin Romero Jimenez - Hud Morrison, Jill Fulton - Adele Clarke - Kenneth Andrews. Gemma Folsom is a graduate student and producer on The Great Plains Project. She and Madison Walker were with us for the entire 18 days we were on the road.   I miss them all and would gladly jump back on the road tomorrow and do this whole thing over again.   Check out thegreatplainsproject.com for daily dispatches featuring my words and Jerod’s photos. It’s like a coffee table book for your computer.

    The Great Plains Project - Part One - In Studio

    The Great Plains Project - Before The Journey    Jerod Foster and I rode adventure motorcycles 3,500 miles from Presidio, Texas on the Mexico border to the North Dakota/Canada line. We lived off our Honda Africa Twins and slept in tents for 15 days. We rode gravel, dirt, and the occasional asphalt backroad up the middle of America. We were followed by a crew of Texas Tech students led by directors Simon Parmley, and Madison Walker, filming a docuseries for Texas Tech PBS.   This episode was recorded two weeks before we departed. Jerod and I talk about his motivation for this project and why we’re doing it on motorcycles. We meet some of the student filmmakers in a Q & A session, and our director Simon Parmley chimes in to ask me about my relationship to the motorcycle. My relationship to the machine is more about my time with my granddad. I get a little choked up.    The days were long and the work continued well into the night. This trip pushed the entire crew to the limit as we documented our exotic expedition across The Great Plains and had thoughtful conversations with folks that call it home. It is not flat. The land is beautiful. The people are amazing. Over the next six weeks, I’ll release Great Plains Project episodes. One was recorded from the road in Council Grove, Kansas halfway through the trip. The rest will be with crew members from the production. This is The Great Plains Project.

    Salida, Colorado: Part Three - Anatomy of A Mountain Town - Sarah Gartzman - Pastry Chef + Restaurateur

    Sarah Gartzman is a pastry chef and Salida restaurateur. Situated just below her knuckles the letters S-A-N-D-W-I-C-H  are tattooed across her fingers. Her passion for her craft demands this bold statement, because Sarah makes the best damn sandwiches on this third rock from the sun. Everything Sarah touches is delicious: confectionary treats, fresh bread, cheese, arugula, caramelized onions, salsa verde, hollandaise sauce, thinly sliced ribeye…oh my!!!! In 2012 Sarah, and her husband Rob opened Sweeties Sandwich & Baked Excellence in downtown Salida. Sweetie’s has been a town favorite ever since. I had my first Don Draper (a loaded pastrami sandwich) from Sweetie’s in 2014, and I hold every sandwich I eat across this country to that Sweeties standard. They all fail.   We sat down on the roof top bar of Sarah and Rob’s flagship eatery. The Biker and The Baker where they serve wine, deserts and brunch. With S Mountain as our back drop, and the Salida breeze as our ambient music, Sarah and I dish on food, mountain town life, wall paper, working hard, chasing dreams you didn’t know you had, and Elvis’s favorite type of greens. I tell her how Bavarian cream chocolate pie paired with microbrewed stout beer changed my life and formed my palette. Sarah shares an amazing dining experience she had in Mexico city. If you love food and mountain town life, this is the show for you.   Do you wanna bake like Sarah at home? Well, you better up your spoon microphone dance routine (check out Sarah’s Instagram) and order a “Hey Sweetie!” baking kit and Get Jiggy With IT? Or shall I say get, “Sweetie With IT!”   This is a fun one folks!   Full Delicious Zen Ahead…
