Did you know that Portland has the third largest puppet population in the country? Well, I found out that and much, much more from my next guest. From entertaining friends with his marionettes when he was a kid to entertaining all ages as an adult.
Steve over 10 now owns an incredible puppet museum in this Elwood neighborhood housing over 2,600 puppets. But the journey he took to get there was pretty fantastical.

I go about town in a giant chicken suit. I try finding work this way and I socialize this way. What in the world could possibly drive me to do this? That might be the fairest question of the day. And to be honest, in answering that question, I could discuss details on any level, from my own personal story to the complicated state of the world. With a unique upbringing and a colorful career in costume performance behind me, I relocated to Portland to study sociology at PSU. As anyone would naturally expect, the intersection of my entertainment...2023-05-1255 minFinding My Own WeirdDont try this at home-Kevon Ward

Of all of Portland’s colorful characters, none are as easily recognized as The Unipiper, with his fire-breathing bagpipes, colorful costumes, and unicycle, reports of Unipiper sightings stretch back over a decade. The origin of The Unipiper is shrouded in mystery, but reportedly stems from an incident with local-resident Brian Kidd involving a bite from a radioactive unicycle incurred while playing the bagpipes, granting him the power to make people smile. Ever since, he has roamed the streets of Portland, protecting its citizens from all that is normal and standing up to those that would seek to silence the we...2023-04-1856 minFinding My Own WeirdBeach, Please-Una the Mermaid
