Episodes
Dan and Joe reflect upon the year 2025 and wonder what's in store for 2026. What will social media look like next year? What about the firewood industry? I guess we will all have to wait and see!
The Wood Hounds stumble upon a FaceBook post that lit a fire about firewood sales regulations. What is everyone so mad about??
Our favorite woodhounds discuss the value of different types of firewood, and more specifically, seasoned vs green firewood. Is seasoned wood worth more? Um... yes it is!!
Have you ever wondered why firewood is such an easy product to sell? Why do we never have enough? Why is there a firewood shortage every winter? Do you know a good plumber?
One of the cruel realities of our passion is we cannot make firewood unless we have logs. Where do we get them? Do we buy them? Do we pull them out of the ditch on the side of the road? Regardless of our methods it is a labor of love.
Dan made the mistake of asking Joe about his vacation pictures that both revolved around the separate murders of two women named Sophie. Be sure to listen to this light-hearted and entertaining episode!
Dan and Joe discuss a common request on social media platforms of disclosing personal information about income. Why do people find this something important to know of another person?
Dan and Joe meander through some topics in today's episode. Joe found himself in the middle of a robbery. Dan tries to explain where all the YouTube views have gone, and both agree on the excitement generated by the Firewood Machine industry.
Two, very good looking, funny, charming podcasters can both trace their firewood roots to their purchase of an outdoor wood boiler. If they didn't already have a lot in common!
Dan and Joe review the recent Paul Bunyan trade show in Cambridge, Ohio, October 3-5, 2025. There is so much to discuss. The awesome firewood machines, the people, the food, the oppressive heat!
Dan and Joe talk about how a simple branded T Shirt can have an impact on a small business's bottom line. Hey, we are just two weeks away from the Paul Bunyan Show in Cambridge Ohio...Fun time for all!
Joe discusses his recent, week-long tour of firewood yards in Germany and Austria and shares what he witnessed across the pond. This trip was organized by TP Siva, the Finland-based company responsible for the Japa, Hakki Pilke, and Palax firewood processors.
Dan and Joe come close to violating one of their core standards for a world-class firewood podcast. No Cussing!!
Dan discusses a conversation he had with a fellow firewood hobbiest he met recently. Dan tried to help him realize there is a fine line between ambition and fantasy. Or maybe not?!?!?
The irony about smartphones is we can hardly put them down to do our own job. How did we ever get through life without one? Dan and Joe discuss their lives with smartphones and how they can play a productive role in the firewood industry.
Dan and Joe spend the episode talking about food and firewood. Two of their favorite things!
A simple trip to the animal shelter didn't turn out to be so simple after all. Fill out this form...fill out that form. Let's form a club to outlaw forms!

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
