Proto-Future Bonus 2: Episode Catchup, Madison Takedown

Part of why I’m so hard on Madison is because it’s so tantalizingly close to being a place deserving of its reputation... If I’d be open to moving 700 miles away to Madison, I’d also be open to moving 900 miles away to Minneapolis, and I think, at this moment, I’d get a much better experience for it.

Proto-Future 4: G4 Buffet: Lewistown, Layout Diary 1, and the Grocery Store

This nontraditional episode gives you three vignettes on Amtrak and the podcast, my layout and its construction, and bicycling infrastructure and car-dependency, as well as helping me catch up on scripts and test out field recording.

Have a Thought? 

Proto-Future is attempting to do something which has never been done in model railroading before. I am here to ruffle feathers, seed ideas, get rusty gears turning, and help the hobby escape the transition-era worshiping rut we’ve been in for 30+ years, thereby better appealing to younger generations and improving the world around us along the way. If you have any thoughts at all – good or bad – pause for a second, think them through, make sure they’re logical, then email me, and we’ll see where it goes.

While the podcast is transitioning to Proto-Future, I still happily accept beginner questions and will address them on-air every now and then. Feel free to email me via the contact form, and I’ll do my best to help you in your quest.

Please consider Donating

This is an expensive endeavor, not just in money, but in emotional expenditures. Any amount you could donate, even a dollar a month, is reason enough for me to keep going. Your generosity would be very appreciated.
