  • R.J. Stewart - Crazy Hawk: A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller. This is episode 696 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

    R.J. Stewart, the author of the post-apocalyptic thriller, Crazy Hawk, is best known for developing, writing and producing Xena: Warrior Princess (starring Lucy Lawless), once the highest-rated television show in syndication.

    He started out as a teamster for nine years and a fledgling stage actor, until he got his first break, writing for the NBC romance detective drama starring Pierce Brosnan, Remington Steele. It would parlay into a 22-year Hollywood career that includes writing credits for movies The Rundown, starring Duane “The Rock” Johnson, Major League 2, starring Charlie Sheen, and television’s Cleopatra 2525. He also worked on projects with Kevin Costner, Rebecca De Mornay and James Garner.

    Stewart was born in Brooklyn, New York, but has lived most of his life in the American West. His youth as the son of an Air Force sergeant was spent across six states and Greece, Italy, and Germany. His American family roots trace back nearly two centuries.

    He has spent thousands of hours riding a trail horse and likes to collect historical documents specializing in 18th century history.

    Stewart graduated from Florida International University.

    He lives on a San Diego County horse ranch with his wife of 51 years, Kat O’Connor. Various horses and dogs have been kind enough to share their ranch with R.J. and Kat, including Danny, a beautiful palomino who inspired the creation of the buckskin character in Crazy Hawk, his first novel.

  • Will Illingworth & Josh Swartz - HiTech Podcast - talk with Steve about Old Tech We Have Found and Compare It to New Tech. This is episode 689 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

    Will and Josh from the HiTech podcast are back and today we are focused on some old tech that we have found. We spent a couple of months visiting garage sales, estate sales, and stores like Good Will. The purpose was to see what cool old tech we could find and share on the show.

    We bring to the table a telescope, scanner, a unique phone, a couple Walkman, a Palm Pilot III, and a movie camera, editing station, and a home movie projector. We share our technology from the past and compare it to technology from today. It is amazing how much old tech has been replaced by one device - Do you know what that device is?

    We had a blast talking about old technology.

    Thanks, Will and Josh for the great discussion!

    That was fun!

  • Father's Day is here! Great time to spend time with your kids and family. Lots of great fun. I'm looking forward to spending time with my sons and wife this Father's Day. We have some fun planned. In the past we have played games, gone fishing, hiked, watched movies, bowled, and so much more. Father's Day is awesome! My podcast friend Jeff Ikler - who creates and hosts his show Getting Unstuck - Cultivating Curiosity - had a real cool show this week For Father's Day - Maybe the Best Gift Ever - 314

    His focus on his father made me think about my father. So, I decided to do a drift down memory lane. You should take time to listen to Jeff's show. Hope that when you listen to our two shows that you start having fun with your memories.

    Thanks for listening.

    All the best.

    Happy Father's Day!
