The best conversations are rooted in connection; better connection improves relationships; stronger relationships are the building blocks of a better world. That is the foundation for This Show is All About You, hosted by JDK Wyneken.
Tune in Mondays from 3PM – 4PM PST to hear a thoughtful conversation between JDK and his weekly guest about discovering and building upon connections. Featured guests are invited for their unique experiences and stories that resonate, whether they be about the Big Things in Life we all face or the Little Joyful Things That We Often Miss – or both.
JDK is a fiction writer, PhD historian, poet, storyteller, and social commentator with an affinity for making the complex easier to understand and embrace. His interests and experiences range far and wide, and he isn’t shy about sharing his unique and insightful takes on history, current affairs, literature, media, music, travel, sports, cooking, or whatever else JDK and his guests explore. It’s all delivered with a healthy dose of humor, emotional intelligence, personal reflection, and strategic irreverence for the accepted notions of How Things Should Be Done.
JDK Wyneken, Host
JDK was raised on the beaches of Hawaii and Southern California and has lived all over the country. While he has traveled the world, he is most at home with his own imperfect self. Having reimagined and rebuilt his life after his battle through addiction, JDK knows what it’s like to work through and accept the ugly parts of life to better appreciate its gifts.
Combine all that with years of connecting with, listening to, and learning from people of all ages and stages, and you have a host willing and uniquely able to share his full life on the airwaves in order to connect with listeners – ensuring his show is, indeed, All About You.

Episode 124: "Transitions, Chapter Three: Oh, Canada!"
Just back from his annual sports-week trip with his buddy, Seth, JDK shares about the lessons he learned from the people he met in places like Detroit, Michigan and Toronto, Canada. These got him thinking - why do we choose to be as we are? Why do some of us choose kindness and courtesy and others the opposite? What is it about our friendships that teach us so much about ourselves and about human nature vs nurture? Take a listen and hear why a sports trip can be about so much more than sports.
Episode 123: “Transitions, Chapter Two - The Big 5-0”
This week, JDK turns 50 and takes a look back at all the reasons why he is grateful fire all he’s learned and experienced so far in life, and why he’s excited for what’s next!
Episode 122: "Transitions, Chapter One"
With so many autumn transitions underway or approaching, JDK asks listeners to step back for a minute and examine two things - how they respond to the changes that are constant, and what values they identify as key to holding onto as navigation through change. We can learn alot about ourselves - and others - in such self-examination. In the end, isn't this really so much of what life is really about?
