0115: Luminous Darkness

From a Colorado poet's daily practice and a Brecht lyric written under fascism, through Barcelona harbor, Caracas, Indigenous Colombia, a Paiwan-language firefly song from Taiwan, and a 2002 German demo about fairies in the forest fog, this episode maps the reciprocal relationship of light and darkness as seen from an Earth-based perspective — and finds, in their interplay, something very close to a theology.Go to episode

0114: Where We Go to Connect & Commune

A pilgrimage in music through the physical and spiritual places where we go to connect — from the rivers and rooftops of New Orleans to the Rocky Mountains, the Slovenian hills, the redwood groves of Muir Woods, and the "Gaia Place" for each of us.Go to episode

0113: Songs of Cataclysm & Collapse

From a sardonic Chicago pianist cataloguing microplastics and clathrate guns, through an Irish elegy for a stream of the dead and a geologist-poet's Permian nightmare, to an unreleased song from Sweden about leaving a toxic Earth, we map the full emotional response to prospects of collapse, climate change, cataclysm, extinction, and ecological catastrophe.Go to episode
