Stay ConnectedRoam Schooled is a show where I conduct in-depth, in-person investigations into topics chosen by a child (one of my 6-year-old twin daughters). We go out in our 1991 Winnebago and talk to people, in person. One question typically leads us to another question and away we go… It’s a show about the pleasure of finding things out.

Episode 14 is one for our pets (it's the first of three episodes about animals). The deeper you go, the more interesting it gets when you talk to people who deal with the intricacies of pet issues on a day-to-day basis. Here spend time with a scientist who trains cats, a woman who helped eradicate dog and cat overpopulation, and an animal communicator. We try to get into the minds of the animals and in doing so take an unexpected plunge into our own psychology.

In a second episode about guns and the Second Amendment, we take unexpected turns, launching forward from the basic premise that the genie is out of the bottle. We go deep with two brothers who lost brothers, we go shooting, and we dive into the second amendment with eyes wide open to historical context and legal interpretation. It's not a show about statistics, but about using our higher brain functions to find solutions, middle ground, and a new way to look at the world of guns.

Roam Schooled approaches the seemingly impossible, polarizing issue of guns, the Second Amendment, and gun control by reframing the questions, turning them upside down, looking deep, and looking wide for common ground. This episode contains some profanity, and also very well may change the way you view the issues being discussed.
