Death of a Salesman |S:03E.68
He worked himself right to death trying to please someone who couldn’t be pleased. But in the dust and noise he left behind, he planted something none of us saw coming, a legacy built from the wreckage, the stubbornness of a man who never quit. This week on The Reckon Yard, we talk about how the hardest lessons don’t always come from saints or teachers, but from the broken ones who showed us how to keep walking anyway.

Wonder what the poor people are doing today? |S:03E.67
JW takes us back to the cheap seats side of Lake Tyler in the 1980s, where summers were long, lessons were everywhere, and the shoreline was full of stories. From the awkward rites of teenage romance to the quiet wisdom of turtles and fishing lines, it was a place where memories got made on a budget and lasted a lifetime.

"The Phoenix" |S:03E.66
In “The Phoenix” we return to the pine shadowed Reckon Yard where rust, memory, and family collide. I take you with me as my cousins and I unearth my mother’s long lost Volkswagen, a broken shell that still burns with meaning. Along the way we wrestle with fathers, ghosts, and the strange grace of letting go, finding out what rises when you finally set old weight down. This episode is about resurrection.
