• True Hidden Gems - Ouachita Mountains
    Jul 19 2024

    Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!

    It’s been a long six week hiatus, but we’re back! Life has been crazy and I’ve been running like a maniac trying to keep things on track, but excuses aside it’s time for a new episode. This week we’re going to talk about some truly hidden gems…since modern travel writers don’t seem to know what the term “hidden” actually means. We’re going to explore the Ouachita Mountains…the Ozarks far lesser known compatriot to the south.

  • Seize the Moments
    Jun 4 2024

    Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!

    This week I embark upon both literal and philosophical adventures as I contemplate the importance of seizing the moments of our lives before they disappear like dust in the wind (see what I did there?). In addition to this philosophical sidetrack, we talk about some of my recent adventures as well as some of our listener’s adventures to boot!

  • Total Eclipse of the Ark(ansas)
    Apr 10 2024

    Welcome Back to Wayward Stories!

    This week…well, we all know what happened this week.

    It was the much anticipated 2024 total solar eclipse, and it scurried its way right over my head in this great state of Arkansas. This week’s episode details my adventure to find a wilderness setting in which to experience and capture it.

    This experience truly moved me, and I think it’s evident in tonight’s show…this is possibly the most real I’ve ever been on the mic.

    My entire day truly was a classic Wayward Son adventure from beginning to end, complete with a whole group of new friends.

  • Arkansas Backcountry Byways
    Mar 29 2024

    Welcome back to Wayward Stories!

    A little sidetrack adventure a few weeks ago inspired an idea within me…more of a question really, at first. Why doesn’t Arkansas, with all of our glorious forestry roads and backcountry trails, have designated backcountry byways?

    A short fact-check indeed confirmed we have none so designated, so your ever-benevolent host (mòi) decided to designate a few of my favorites for your consideration. Tune in tonight to hear about some of the Arkansas backroads that I’ve enjoyed exploring, and get your notepad ready! You’ll want to take a few notes!

  • Same Wayward, Different Wilderness
    Feb 20 2024

    This week we take our yearly philosophical sidetrack and explore the direction of the podcast, the outdoor sub-culture at large, and purpose in production, as it were.

    No new wilderness adventures this week, save perhaps the wilderness of the soul…
