Barrigapod

Seth Martinius is an extraordinarily smart human, and it was a real pleasure getting the opportunity to get to know him over this 3+ hour conversation. We dive deep into the details surrounding the incident that put him in his wheelchair as well as life after the injury. Seth was really an open book and was kind enough to give us some perspective on what it might be like living with a handicap. We also traverse subjects such as engineering (he recently got a job at Aerospace) and Science in general, including the fascinating topic of Black Holes. Plus much, much more! I hope you enjoy!  Reach out to Seth via instagram @sethmartinius

Raymond move over, Everybody TRULY loves Matt Hall. He is a rare gem to say the least. Matt is a true brother of mine, a health and fitness guru, personal trainer, Muay Thai trainer, father and husband and "time traveling coffee junkie from the deepest trenches of the multiverse". This is our first time really speaking in over a year so we had a lot of catching up to do, and we discuss Matt's recent expedition into the United States Air Force, specifically the trials and tribulations of boot camp and tech school, starting a family and much more, including our predictions for the upcoming UFC 226!

The Podcast is back! On this episode of the Barrigapod, Grant and I hopped in a car and spontaneously took a ride down to San Diego to catch an Orgone (funk band) show, and along the way we decided to record a conversation!  This one is a BANGER! We focus primarily on Grant's parents, their personalities and careers, and compare Grant's fathers career to his own, the similarities in the work but differences in the time and space, and the evolution of the entertainment industry. But of course this is the Barrigapod, so we get tangential. We travel through topics such as Instagram and Social Media "Celebs", what this new medium/career means and the barter system it creates for it's frontrunners.  Plus, is Steve Jobs' "Apple" the modern forbidden fruit? Is it the biggest troll of all time? Are Mushrooms Enlightened Aliens? And Much more... *Stay tuned at the end of this one for a narration of Andy Weir's short story, "The Egg".
