It's Valentine's week — and what better time to talk about a broken heart? Specifically, MINE.

After months of trying to figure out why my heart rate was slowing down, I finally learned the real cause wasn't medication… it was a heart rhythm issue that required a pacemaker.

Yes, I now officially have advanced bionics.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Discovering bradycardia and heart rhythm problems

• Meeting the third cardiologist who finally listened

• The decision to get a pacemaker

• Facing my fear of anesthesia

• What it feels like to come out the other side

SPOILER ALERT: I didn't die. Which means I'll be back next week.

Hi my friends — yes, I'm still alive.

I've been working my way through some new medical nonsense, but I finally got this episode finished, and I'm hoping that means I can keep things moving again. In this one, I talk a little about what I've been dealing with lately, my renewed appreciation for both new and old writing, and the strange experience of dodging icicles and frozen trees like it's some sort of low-budget action movie.

I hope you're doing well out there. Let's try to meet up again next week.

Now that those bothersome holidays are over it's time to get down to the real work of creating podcasts again. And this episode hopefully will give you a new goal for the rest of 2026. Maybe even for the remainder of your life. And who know how long or short that'll be. Let's concentrate on right now, okay? Happy New Year, folks.

Speeding closer to Christmas and here I am watching Pandas have sex. Is that wrong? Then why are they showing it on my TV?? We're a couple weeks from Christmas and I'm just not feeling it this year. I'm already planning for next year. I want to talk to you a bit about artist consciousness vs sports consciousness and how those affect out society. Don't worry, it won't hurt. See you next week.

Hi friends! Hope all is well on this Thanksgiving week. Often the key to being thankful is just learning to navigate through change and come out unscathed. We're all not that lucky. Hope you are one who is. Now go eat lots of food and I'll see you next week.

Hiya Outfluencers! Welcome to episode 130 of the show. It's a nice round number and a pretty cool accomplishment. But unfortunately, all I got for you to celebrate is this new episode. It's circular celebration. Let's never speak of it again. There are a couple of words that are magic in making interesting things happen. I thought I'd share those words with you this week. I hope it doesn't get me into trouble. See you next week.

Welcome back to the podcast my friends! It's the holidays and we are heading into our third season here at the Outta Toon Podcast. It's a good time to stop and examine if we are actually living an interesting life. How about you? Is your life interesting? Can it be even more interesting. On this episode I give us all a few tips for taking it to the next level. New shows are on Tuesday now. See you next week!

Greetings my friends! Welcome back to the show. It's a little different return than you might expect. I want to celebrate Halloween week with my new spooky short story, "The Bridge." Hope you like it. Let me know what you think. See you next week!
