I interview extraordinary people who forge their own path, make their own rules, and live outside the norms of society. Together, we can learn from each other.

That is what Dream Chasers and Eccentrics is all about!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T14:17:29.178864+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dream-chasers-and-eccentrics-6589317"},"episode":{"title":"Author John Bond, To the End of Reckoning","slug":"author-john-bond-to-the-end-of-reckoning","published_at":"2026-07-16T04:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dream-chasers-and-eccentrics-6589317/author-john-bond-to-the-end-of-reckoning","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dream-chasers-and-eccentrics-6589317","url":"https://87739191-2c50-43ed-b5c1-cd8e9de230ed.libsyn.com/author-john-bond-to-the-end-of-reckoning","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/87739191-2c50-43ed-b5c1-cd8e9de230ed/John_Bond_-_71426_3.30PM.m4a?dest-id=4106877","summary":"John Bond is an author, publishing consultant, former editor, former librarian, and lover of books who has been immersed in books and the expression of ideas for over 35 years.
