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.

The Four Eric/ks

March 27, 2023

Episode 106: The Four Eric/ks  In what he calls "a story of common threads", JDK focuses on what he learned about himself from four people with one common name - Eric (or with a 'k'), from early childhood through to today. Four different people, four different experiences (and a couple of them not-so-good) that ended up being uncommon sources of inspiration, humility, and growth.

The True Legend of ‘Goat Butt’

March 13, 2023

Episode 105: "The True Legend of 'Goat Butt'" JDK relays a deeply personal story about one of the most important experiences in his life, one that - unbeknownst to him at the time - prepared him to face the biggest crises he's ever faced. Yet, it also prepared him to accept so much more good in his life than he once thought possible.

Painting A Larger Historical Picture

March 6, 2023

Episode 104: "Painting A Larger Historical Picture" With March being Women's History month, JDK takes a look at the "democratization" of historical narratives over the past half-century, and why these efforts are still necessary and why they need not be seen as threatening to anyone. He also explores why these stories receive so much pushback from some quarters, and how they can push each of us - no matter who we are - to grow and learn to live with discomfort AND better connection with others.
