John was born in Goldsboro, North Carolina, where he dreamed of being a professional baseball player (as well as an astronomer, geologist, chef, paleontologist, archaeologist, and meteorologist). When baseball (and everything else) didn’t pan out, John decided he would take his passion for writing and making people laugh (or angry, depending on their outlook on life) as his primary focus.

Because you need a niche to be relevant in any creative outlet, John decided to spend his time letting people know that things aren’t as bad as they seem, which is ironic considering his generally skeptical and cynical demeanor. 

So that's why this podcast is here. Enjoy!
