Welcome back, intrepid listeners, to another installment of “Roll On”—the show where we break free from the typical podcast format to get a little loose and casual. It’s been a minute—but as they say—less is more.
In this episode, we’ll catch up, share some captivating news and culture items that have caught our attention, and answer your thought-provoking questions. So, strap in as we set sail on this free-wheeling journey through the labyrinth of contemporary culture, all with our signature blend of curiosity and candor.
As always, my co-host is Mr. Adam Skolnick, an activist, veteran journalist, author of One Breath, and co-author of David Goggins’ Can’t Hurt Me and Never Finished. A longtime independent reporter, Adam has covered travel, sports, human rights, and the environment for The New York Times, Outside, Playboy, ESPN, BBC, and Men’s Health.
“Our ability to change has a lot to do with the stories that we tell about who we are and what we’re capable of.”
