An Adventure of Mind and Intellect

Mojave Beach Productions’ writer-producer, Esther Luttrell, and co-host Dianne Lawson, recount their personal other-worldly experiences in this audio podcast from the Podcast Excursions series. Dianne’s encounter with ghosts in her house and in her son’s renovated farm mansion mix well with Esther’s tales of the ghost who delivered her mail, the favorite grandfather who died years before she was born, and the husband who handed her a copy of his wife’s book four years after his death. Chilling enough to entertain. Believable enough to make you think. Jeff Evans and Jack Diamond are the announcers. David Fesliyan, of Fesliyan Studios, provided the eerie background music. The theme was written and performed by Toni Beaulieu.

You’ve got a terrific idea for a podcast, but no clue how to get started. Mojave Beach Productions producers, Esther Luttrell and Patrick McGranahan, introduce entrepreneurs Eric and Amber Beel, of Different Mix, an online company designed to answer questions like “What recording equipment do I need? What kind of headset and microphone should I get? I want to just hit RECORD and talk. I don’t want to learn the technical aspects of podcasting. Can I do that through your company? Who will distribute my podcasts? How often do I need to release a new podcast?” The best investment an aspiring podcaster might make is the 44 minutes it takes to listen to Eric and Amber’s advice given in layman’s language.

Her own personal encounters as told by Esther Luttrell

Podcast Excursions guest, Cheryl Schroeder, remembers choosing to be born to a Native American couple never realizing the father would be an alcoholic, the mother a dysfunctional and indifferent parent, and her grandfather a cruel and physically abusive child molester. Despite abject poverty and mistreatment, Cheryl tells of her deep connection to a God she knows as pure Love. Not the death of her grandchild nor the murder of her beloved younger sister has caused that faith to waiver. Co-hosts, Mojave Beach Productions producer, Esther Luttrell, and astrologer-author Dianne Lawson, join Cheryl in a discussion on the ways in which Spirit ties into planets, stars and the supernatural. Patrick McGranahan was co-producer. Podcast Excursions’ theme, composed and performed by Toni Beaulieu, was made available to Mojave Beach Productions through the courtesy of Jack Allen.
