Bonus – The Outshot: Filling Time

19th December 2025

A special treat for our podcast listeners! For years, Bullseye would close out each episode with an essay written by Jesse called The Outshot. It was an opportunity to show appreciation for a thing he loves. Our show recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. We took the show on the road with live shows in Santa Cruz, Los Angeles and New York. And just like Jesse had done in the past, he closed out each live show with The Outshot. In it, Jesse reflects on his time working in radio.
