    "Brother, you don't eat pork do you?" -Man with wine

    About:

    New York. St. Cloud. Orlando. San Bernardino. Chattanooga. Garland. Boston. Fort Hood. Brussels. Paris. Nice. Kabul. Baghdad. Quetta. Lahore. Istanbul.

    It's difficult to remember what life was like before any of these recent attacks, when there was no YouTube or Twitter and when the Twin Towers were still part of New York City's skyline.

    There wasn't too much cause for concern about being named Muhammad, wearing a hijab or simply practicing the faith. But times change. Now, two months away from Election Day, a presidential candidate who supports the racial profiling of Muslims and banning their entry into the country is in real contention to be the next Commander-In-Chief.

    But before any of that, the vitriol and hate, the radicalization and endless news cycles, the color-coded threat levels and social media jihad, there was a simpler version of Islam in America. In this episode, we dive into what life was like for Muslims around a northern Virginia mosque just eight stoplights away from the Pentagon.

    "You just go again tomorrow."

    -Stuart Vorpahl

    Stuart Vorpahl is a lifelong commercial fisherman who took pride in providing the fresh produce of the sea. Stuart liked his job. He liked it so much that when regulation and politics threatened it, he ignored the old sayings and squared up against town hall.

    On the surface, it might seem as if Stuart was just really passionate about fishing, and he was. But his fight was about something bigger.

    We continue the second part of Stuart Vorpahl's story—how a commercial fisherman in the Hamptons took on the New York State over his right to fish with a 17th century document from the King of England.

    "Timeout. If you see a hole, you mend it. You don't go say I'll go back and fix it. It don't work." --Stuart Vorpahl

    The story of Stuart Vorpahl involves fishing, the Hamptons and the King of England. Amidst a town where Hollywood's A-list comes to summer, how did a commercial fisherman earn the notoriety of first-name recognition amidst locals, town officials and the conservation police?

    "It's just status."

    -Buddy

    About:

    In pockets of America, like those in Oakland and throughout the East Bay of Northern California, the status quo of driving a vehicle is proudly rejected. Take a look at some of the rides out here and you'll immediately get the sense that a car is more than just a car.

    Who are these people and what caused them to decorate Detroit-produced relics with candy-like paint, oversized rims and a sound-system that can probably be heard from Space?

    "Thy will be done. Thy will be done. I don't know. Please, I don't know." -Jessica Ripper

    Jessica Ripper is a white American with blonde hair, blue eyes and a home in Northern California. Yet, to many in Pakistan, she's an Islamic-gospel musician who plays the tabla.

    In the 700-year-old sufi-singing tradition of Qawwali, she's a female trailblazer shattering century-old glass ceilings from sufi shrine to sufi shrine. And everywhere else, she's a statistical anomaly, a bizarre outlier.

    Did fate direct Ripper to her path as one of the world's only white female western qawwali players? Or was it chance and opportunity?

    You be the judge.

    ""People want to see good overcome evil, even though that's not always the way it plays out, that's what they're coming out to see." --Shane Hanson

    Who should you be and what should you do?

    Escape all the worries of life with a quick trip to Hoodslam, a wrestling outfit based in Oakland, Calif. It's an adult wrestling show where other people make that decision for you. At least, you submit yourself to believing in everything around you, like someone getting hit in the face with a chair, seeing the ghost of Charlie Chaplin jump off the turnbuckle or a drug-addicted bunny snort lines off a championship trophy.

    You don't mind that what is fake is actually real and you begin to ask, "If I was a wrestler, who would I be?" (Answer: Super Self-Aware Man, a sure-to-be fan favorite)

    This is the story of an alternative wrestling show that boasts slogans like "Fuck the Fans" and "Don't Bring Your Kids." Why did it start, who goes to its shows and who are its wrestlers?

    "It ain't that I don't care, it's that I don't really care."

    -Bishop Glen A. Staples

    About:

    We live in a strange time, at least that's what the story of the praise break reminds us.

    It's the tale of an ecstatic dance rooted deep in race, religion and American history. It traveled centuries of oppression and made its way to present times where it's been rejected by today's social elites.

    Maybe because it looks crazy? Or maybe it's dismissed because it unearths some dark reality that we're not comfortable dealing with? You be the judge.

    Ep. 005 — What We Can Do? Jan 27, 2016
    Show notes

    "To really answer the question, what is a question, is a very good question."

    -Dr. Zeray Alemseged

    What we can do?

    That question confronts, inquires, investigates and challenges. And it, by no means, is simple to define.

    For this episode of Some Noise, we try and get to the bottom of questions and ask a bunch of different people, from a linguistics professor, an experienced LSD taker to a futurist: "What is a question?"

    PROLOGUE — Ep. 004 — The Story of Me, Part IV Dec 22, 2015
    Show notes

    "I mean I don't see a halo on you, even though I see a couple of horns. See that little angel and that little devil on the side? Yeah. You're you."

    -Serafin Jose Saavedra

    This story, the Story of Me, probably won't have a proper ending, like the kind that is comforting and reminds you that all is well in the world. It shouldn't. Because that's false and I'm not dead yet.

    More than a month ago, the first part of this prologue aired with the intent of framing up this larger podcast project: a show about stories and the foolish pursuit of life, clarity and context. Family members, peers, friends and foes, from high school days to those that I work with were all interviewed.

    Rather, this prologue wraps up with the outside perspective. What do strangers think of me? If you're six-years-old and reading this, don't try this at home. You shouldn't be talking to strangers.

    And then, the context. Was this project, a selfie in podcast form (possible Upworthy headline?), insightful? Did it provide any context about who I am?

    Granted, it's just the prologue, but it's Some Noise.

    About:

    Your work experience ultimately comes down to one thing—how you sell yourself. Which, is a lie (or like a half-truth). Achievements and accomplishments are important, but what about everything else?

    For part three of this prologue—the Story of Me—I've reached out to co-workers, old and new and asked them for a performance review.

    Leave your feedback by endorsing me on LinkedIn, seriously, be creative.
