Season 4 – Episode 10 – A.J. Mason Interview

Release Date: 01/27/2026

Website: Ravens Vail Podcast Network

Description:

Ed and Jacob fire up the Cauldron and welcome author A.J. Mason-AKA-A.J. Downey, because when you’ve got that many stories rattling around in your head, one name just isn’t going to cut it. From there, the conversation careens delightfully off‑road: Appalachian oddities, Tennessee’s ever‑dramatic Civil War ghosts, the current political circus, and the general state of the world doing whatever it’s doing these days. It’s part spooky storytelling, part social commentary, and part “laugh so you don’t cry,” all delivered with the Cracked Cauldron’s signature chaotic charm. Tune in for a lively, haunted, and surprisingly relatable brew.

Season 4 Episode 9 – New Year's 2026

Release Date: January 17, 2026

Website: Ravens Vail Podcast Network

Description:

Hosts Ed Bolden-Greer and Jacob Garner ring in 2026 with a perfect blend of reflection, chaos, and unintentional comedy, joined this year by special guest and Executive Producer Jeryd Bolden-Greer. The trio looks back at their 2025 resolutions with a mix of pride, regret, and “why did we ever say that out loud?” Some goals were met, some were abandoned, and at least one became a running joke they may never live down. From heartfelt honesty to sharp, playful banter, the conversation swings between serious self-assessment and pure comedic derailment. Of course, it wouldn’t be a New Year’s episode without something going sideways. A small technical hiccup briefly turns the studio into a circus, and Jacob has a live, on-air revelation that he does not, in fact, know how words work. Ed and Jeryd do their best to keep the ship steady, but the laughter keeps winning. Warm, candid, and delightfully unhinged, this episode sets the tone for a hopeful and hilarious 2026. .
