That Podcast in Hutch - Jason Probst
Scheduling difficulties, cajoling friends get me to turn the mic on myself
My friend Tyler was talking to me one day about this podcast, and he said “You know who I’d really like to see on your podcast?”
And that’s how me sitting across the table from another friend, Jackson Swearer, answering his questions about me.
Over the past several months of doing this podcast, a number of people have suggested that I let someone interview me. I’ve typically dismissed the idea - as I’ve developed the sense that I get to do the interviewing and other people are far more interesting than I am. But after a decent amount of persuasion, coupled with the challenges of trying to carve out time for this during the hectic and fast pace of the legislative session - it seemed like something worth the trying.
Jackson did a great job with his questions - and much like my guests, I had only a broad idea of what he’d ask me about. We sort of let the conversation lead us, and that’s the way I like to approach my guests.
We had so much fun doing this, we kicked around the idea of making this a semi-regular thing - where one of my friends can ask me any number of topics and try to dive into the experiences that have shaped my life. So let us know if you like this episode, and if you’d like us to keep doing it. And as always, if there’s anyone you’d like to hear on the show, please let me know.

Of course, I want exposure to someone else’s perspective on something related to you as compared to your perspective on someone else.
I was just telling someone at work that I’m a pretty good conversationalist but when I’m talking to myself, the conversation is limited.
So, when Jason is the only one driving where the conversation goes, the journey and the destination become somewhat predictable. It’s got that “probstian” feeling to it. Better to have diversity and contrast for me (and all the rest of your fans?) to get a better perspective and have more of an understanding why I like the way you roll.
