Chris Museler, NY Times journalist & sailor extraordinaire, has been a longtime friend of the podcast since the early days, and he’s back yet again for another catch-up.

This is the first of several podcasts I recorded in front of a live audience at the Toronto Boat Show in January, so you’ll hear some questions pop in from the handful of people we had in attendance.

They caught up this morning on Skype and had a PHENOMENAL chat about Chris' experience onboard Hugo Boss in the recent New York - Barcelona IMOCA 60 race. It's the first time in history an outside journalist has been allowed onboard a shorthanded (double- or single-handed) to report objectively on what the crews go through in such a lengthy endurance test. Hugo Boss' normal skipper Alex Thomson is of course famous for his mast walk and keel walk escapades in his Hugo Boss clothing. Thomson couldn't make...2014-06-181h 09

Merrill is a sailor, furniture builder, wine collector, beer brewing enthusiastic and really just a super active, thoughtful and inspiring guy! The talk meandered from sailing - and Merrill's reconstruction of the old Shannon - to lawn mowing, wine, coffee and more in between. Best of all, Merrill is an optimist, and his enthusiasm is infectious. Enjoy!2013-05-0843 min

Nate gave me the update on Tiger's little rules drama from Friday when we made landfall on Saudade, and I managed to catch the playoff tonight at the White Horse Tavern in St. Georges. Thrilling!

two inspired guys w/ andy & ryan#23: Matt Rutherford Returns to the Podcast!When we first talked to Matt back in October - our second-ever episode! - his Ocean Research Project was just an idea. He was still riding high off of his Solo the America's expedition, but he wanted to shift gears and focus on something outside of himself. Since then, the ORP has achieved full 501c(3) status, and has a boat! He brought the 42' steel Colvin up from Florida in December. Andy went to see it in Annapolis in late January, and this was their talk.2013-02-2644 min

Okay, this isn't so old - Andy recorded it in Chicago during last month's Strictly Sail show at Navy Pier. Paul Exner is a professional sailor who teaches sail training on his own boat (which he spent 10 years building from a bare hull), and on other people's boats based out of Tortola in the BVI. His company is called Modern Geographic because he used to be a map maker, of all things!

two inspired guys w/ andy & ryan#20: Pawel MotawaAndy talked to Pawel at the ARC rally in St. Lucia. Initially, Andy was intriguied by a story lead that said Pawel had been to Antarctica like 7 times on different sailing expeditions. Pawel did indeed do that, and talks about it here, but more interesting was his production company he has in Poland, where he grew up, and he's really into music. Pawel and Andy ended up talking about media production, business, music and the movie 'It Might Get Loud,' which made for some fascinating conversation. Thanks Pawel!2013-02-0543 min

I met Patrik in St. Lucia at the ARC this year - he was on staff with us for two weeks. He's a sailor as well, having done the ARC previously. We talked about the Norwegians not carrying guns, about the mass shooting in 2011 and about Norwegian versus American culture. And a new song from Mr. Dream!2013-01-291h 04

Ryan talked to him in person last week (Andy was absent), and got some interesting insight on what it's like to be truly passionate about your career. This episode was initially intended to be a combo episode with last week's guest Rob Speer (who co-wrote North Hills' latest production), but they both talked far longer than we expected, so we kept all the content!

He's a photographer - I'd say professional, he's say enthusiast - but his work speaks for itself. And his passion for it is extraordinary. Kenn grew up with a camera in his hands, and he's pursued the art ever since. But since his retirement from real life, Kenn's finally been able to put the time into it that he always wanted to. Kenn discusses the art of photography, what it means to make an 'image', his creative process, camera equipment, etc etc. Enjoy!2012-11-2059 min
two inspired guys w/ andy & ryan#8: Andy & RyanWhat a blast! Ryan and Andy sat in Ryan's girlfriend Kristen's guest room and talked for an hour! Well, it was more than that - we reminisced about our trip to Istanbul last spring, and told some stories about Andy's English 'mate' Clint (a very good MMA fighter and super cool dude) - and it made for a great listen! Since Ryan and I don't often see each other in person, we'll be doing more of these, as it's a great way to catch up and talk about the stuff that inspires us! Thanks for listening!2012-11-131h 00

So check out the article, and listen to the 'behind the scenes'! A full-length i...2012-11-0927 min

Back in his day, pitchers went the distance - there was no such thing as 'middle relief' - and took the winters off to get real jobs, because baseball just wasn't that profitable. Schwall was also a star football and basketball player in college, and has some cool stories about playing against Wilt Chamberlain. And we talked golf! Beyond sports, Don had some excellent insights into following your passion and what...2012-11-061h 01

He's our best friend and would have been a third co-host if he wasn't so busy covering Penn State football for Blue White Illustrated and Yahoo! Sports. We talked to him - live via iPhone from LAX - about the Sandusky trial and his trip to LA with his girlfriend Christina, where they stayed in Charlie Chaplin's old house and explored Hollywood. This is basically the first of a an on-going series of 'guestless' episodes we'll be doing with Nate as a co-host. Enjoy!2012-10-301h 02

His story follows the classic pattern of hard work and sacrifice that leads to success, and it's particularly interesting considering the current political climate between iran and the USA. Hami is currently doing his residency to become a neurologist, following in the footsteps of his father who was also a physician. He had some interesting insights into the culture and politics of his home country, and we had an emotional talk near...2012-10-231h 05

It should appear now as the most recent episode. ANYWAY, Anna is one of Mia Karlsson's (Andy's wife) 'swim girls', whom she grew up with in Uppsala Sweden. Since high school and her swim days, 'Vinnars' has led a decidedly non-traditional life, particularly from the American standpoint of highschool, college, career.

two inspired guys w/ andy & ryanBONUS EPISODE! Anna Vinnars Behind the ScenesEpisode #3 was with Anna Vinnars. Ryan and I pulled off an international three-way Skype conversation - Anna was in Malmö, on the Swedish west coast, I was in Stockholm (or just outside, in Dunderbo), and Ryan was in West Virginia. So that was neat. I mentioned in the intro that I loved her voice, so we I called her up a few days later and we recorded the intro and outro bits. This is the full-length, behind-the-scenes recording of that Skype conversation. It was a blast! Anna is awesome!2012-10-0912 min
two inspired guys w/ andy & ryanBONUS EPISODE! Matt Rutherford post-Solo the America'sGreetings again! The third episode in one week! Matt and Andy sat down about a week after his return to Annapolis (in April 2012) from his record-setting Solo the Americas expedition. The naysayers had completely gone away, and Matt quickly became a local hero and an international celebrity in the sailing world. This was recorded in Pusser's Waterfront Bar in Annapolis, so it's a bit noisy in the background, but Matt deserved his burger and brewski that Andy bought for him. Excuse the distractions - it's a worthwhile listen. Enjoy!2012-10-0359 min

Prior to Matt's recored-breaking Solo the Americas expedition, Matt and Andy sat down in a little marina on Burnside Street in Annapolis where Matt kept his 32-foot Pearson, the boat he'd twice crossed the Atlantic on. At the time, Matt was virtually unknown, and when he told people about his idea, many of them ignored him, claiming it was a death-wish. But after listening to this talk with him, it's hard to doubt the man, even before he set out.2012-10-031h 39
