EPISODE ENCORE episode: Matt Sheehy

Writer and frontman for Lost lander Matt Sheehy and creator of the genius BACKFENCE Unhinged music tells a story of being a teenager longing for the promises of a big city while feeling a little stuck in the vastness of Alaska.

He hops on an opportunity to get his first big taste of city life all the way in Australia! Find out how his new adventure goes and how employing a tear-squirtingly funny Australian accent misfires and unexpectedly changes the way Matt feels about himself and his homeland.

BACKFENCE Unhinged is a unique and delightful twist on the storytelling podcast where hosts Andrew and Frayn invite a storyteller on to share an unhinged true story. Then comes the second unhinged part – they dig in and ask questions to get into the behind-the-scenes dirt — finding intersections with some of their own personal anecdotes.

This episode was edited and produced by Julia Oppenheimer. With music created by musician and frontman for Lost Lander, Matt Sheehy. Frayn Masters is executive producer. Frayn Masters & Andrew Dickson are co-hosts and co-creators. The show was recorded at XRAY.fm — find them online or 91.1 or 107.1. You can find more info about Andrew, Frayn and BACKFENCE Storytelling shows and workshops at backfencestorytelling.com on IG @backfencestorytelling.

Episode 36: Terri Knight

Are you ready for a Central Oregon story about stealing from a drug cartel?

Yeah, you are.

Terri Knight takes us along on her attempt to outrun some complicated family roots and step into her Alex P. Keaton era, straight-laced, upwardly mobile, doing everything “right.”

It does not go as planned.

Terri Knight appeared in the award-winning HUMP festival film short, Birthday Boss, Moth StorySLAMs, and the Seven Deadly Sins storytelling show Pants on Fire, where she is a two-time winner. She is an Oregon native and has lived in Portland for 20 years.

Ever wonder how a super charming hilarious person becomes the 5th strongest person in the world? Gabi Dixson stepped on a stadium stage and held up two giant Grecian Pillars – called the Hercules Hold – attached to chains setting a new world record (you gotta watch that link. It’s insane!)! She also takes us through some wild surgeries on her road to recovery to come back stronger.

Gabi Dixson is a 3 time 5th Strongest Woman in the World, multi grip World Record Holder, nonprofit founder, strength coach, and model. She loves to inspire people of all colors, shapes, and sizes to try new things, be strong, & go for what they want in life.
