Today we’re talking with 18th century artist and knifemaker Steve Auvenshine about his history in muzzleloading and how his life as a Kentucky state trooper started him down a muzzleloading path that started with a CVA kit and lead to Hollywood production. Steve is credited for 13 movies/tv shows, including 1923, Pale Blue Eye, Jurassic World, and Crossbones with one more on the way. You’ve seen his work hanging from the belts of Chris Pratt and the Rock and he’s quite possibly cleaned the most muzzleloaders featured on the silver screen.

The main thrust of this podcast is to shed light on a phenomenon that I’ve noticed over the course of the last decade or so. Very often I come across something in Jewish literature that is clearly an antecedent of some modern day cultural, legal or religious concept.The second will be counter-missionary claims. I think it’s very important that Jews know how to respond to missionary claims. I also hope this will strengthen non-Jews’ respect for why Jews believe what we believe and not seeing us as some sort of backwater yokels who have just never heard of the “wonderful good news” as it were.

No matter where you are, anywhere in the world, there are amazing stories buried all around you. They are waiting for you, they are waiting to be told, and all you have to do is open your eyes, dig deep, and find them. Histories that have been forgotten. Narratives that have been overlooked. Places that are hidden, or abandoned. The famous, the infamous, the unique and beautiful. We will uncover secrets in distant locations, as well the amazing things hiding in plain sight all around us. I’ve been through almost 80 countries and 48 states looking for these mysteries on an open ended and never ending search, the stories and sounds documented here. I’ll be acting as your guide, bringing you to the actual locations in person and doing my best to contextualize what we find. This is False Walls. I am Your Guide. When we push past the barriers, real and imagined, what could be on the other side? There is only one way to know. Let’s go.
