Roam Schooled

Roam Schooled

Jim Brunberg

Roam Schooled is a show where I conduct in-depth, in-person investigations into topics chosen by a child (one of my 6-year-old twin daughters). We go out in our 1991 Winnebago and talk to people, in person. One question typically leads us to another question and away we go... It's a show about the pleasure of finding things out.

Episode 12 Reaired: The Genie is Out of the Bottle

Don't be shocked or surprised, Roam Schoolers.

The email came in yesterday: "On Friday evening, administrators were informed of threats made against the school on social media by a high school student. Police were immediately notified, and the student was questioned by police.
Due to privacy laws and the fact that this is now a police matter, we cannot provide more specifics on this case. We can assure you that this incident is a clear violation of the district’s safety policies and the student will not be on campus pending the outcome of the investigation."

We respectfully re-offer episode12 from one year ago today. In search of some small steps, some common ground in the insanity.

Episode 25: The Life of a Lie

We remember the lies we tell. Sometimes they stick with us for a lifetime. For guest Cheryl Strayed, lies were among the baggage that blocked her happiness until a long backpacking trip afforded her the strength to bring them in to roost somewhere healthy. “Why do we lie” was the initial question. More reasons that you might have thought.

Episode 24: To Serve Man?

We asked hundreds of people about how they encounter the animals they may (or may not) eat. So many conversations, all over the map. We chose these two: A farmer and a meat thinker. Meet Kyrie Eppley and Camas Davis. And be prepared for an "outside" discussion on some of the issue, both ancient and future, around one of our main sources of food: our animals.

Episode 22: We Made Santa The Jerk

In this episode we unpack some of the parcels Santa might not want us to consider, including a conversation with the creator of “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” AND a rapper in Northern Canada who actually got run over by Rudolph. Not your run of the mill holiday special.

Episode 21: The Terrible Gift

In this episode we take back “giving” - a term awash with holiday smarm. We dive deep into the nuance and complications of gifts and explore the nature of generosity with some listener stories and a case study: the “altruistic kidney donor”. You’ll never give a gift the same way again.

Episode 18: Turn of a Friendly Clown - Fear and Memory

In this episode we start with the basic question of WHAT scares us, what exactly fear IS, and what our bodies do when we’re experiencing fear. Several surprising revelations later, we are staring into the core of what memory is, and how we control our own thoughts, memories, and fears.
