About this listen

The story about a boy thrown away at birth in Korea and rescued at the brink of death -- and his journey through life. The podcast explores Dr Terwilliger's humorous experiences on the farm, life in the Air Force, funny stories, travels around the world, and learning to cope with a disability that impacted his life. Join me on this journey and the twists and turns of life through the lens of a gay Asian American who lived the American dream. There will be lots of laughs, perhaps a tear; and mostly adventure! (Amazing cover art by artist Ken Bryson; intro/exit music by Markus Terwilliger). Boy In the Trash Can is a production of CSJ Associates and is dedicated to Barbara Holton Terwilliger

    #85 - It's Been a Journey. This is the last weekly episode of the podcast. A lot of stories were shared and while I plan to do occasional updates as I have enough content, it's certainly been a wonderful experience sharing my journey.

    Thank you to those who pushed me, those who joined me as guests, and the many listeners from 51 countries around the world.

    Have Courage and Be Kind.

    #84 - I'm Retired - what now? This short episode shares the first year of being fully retired and what I came up with to fill my time. From renovating my condo, planning trips, and finding new hobbies, it seemed like a great plan.

    #83-2 - Mom's Birthday. This second intermission is done because I'm in the middle of a remodel project, taking time from doing the regular podcast. Today was Mom's birthday and this intermission episode shares some stories and how I'm memorializing her work in animal husbandry.
