Pylon Radio Episode #6
Hey ya’ll. It might be due to the cloud cover, but this morning I feel like spinning up a bluesy mix, with the usual punk notes near the end. Wasn’t sure what to include as a cover shot for this episode, so please enjoy this photo of a mysterious bluesy stranger I took last week. Much love to all of you, call your friends.

Another Log on the Fire
Earlier this morning Bernie Sanders dropped out of the 2020 presidential race.
Another log tossed on this dumpster fire of a year.
Its tempting to feel depressed, given whats going on in the world.
Sometimes it feels like its never going to get better.
But you know what they say,
“If you’re going through Hell… Keep going.”
It is going to get better.
You and I are going to make it better.
By teaching our children (and each other).
By supporting young leaders.
And focusing on the people and ideas we LOVE.
Instead of leaders who feed on fear and hatred.
Pylon Radio Episode #1
Hey all. This week was the premier of my brand new project, Pylon Radio. Hosted on Vancouver CoOp 100.5 FM @ 11am Thursdays, Pylon Radio features an eclectic mix of music I enjoy, along with some hopefully-not-too-indulgent asides where I talk about music, life and whats going on in the world. Eventually we’ll be having guest hosts on to share the space, but for now we are taking REQUESTS! If you have a song or topic you’d like to hear about, please shoot an email to PylonRadio@Gmail.com
Thanks for your love and support everyone. Today felt amazing. Even if you’ve already done a podcast, there’s something really special about being broadcast through the air.
Radio is magic.
Elsewhere Episode #10 – Rob Wood (Mountaineer / Author)
I recorded this episode in January, which feels like a different world looking back now. I suspect not too much has changed for Rob Wood however, who has been living ‘physically distant’ from mainstream society for the past 45 years. An architect by training, Rob and his wife Laurie have built their home from the ground up, immersed in nature on the remote cliffs of Maurelle island. They generate their own electricity and grow much of their own food. They live the life that so many of us dream about.
So, how did they do it? Find out in the link below.
Elsewhere Episode #9 – Claudio Ekdahl (Political Justice Activist / Chilean Uprising)
Haunted by a dictatorial past & rising social inequality, for the past several months Chile has been a nation in conflict. To understand whats going on, we spoke to Chilean refugee and political justice activist Claudio Ekdahl.
Having grown up under Chile’s military dictatorship, Claudio understands first-hand the realities of organizing resistance under a hostile state, and the challenges faced by this new popular movement – fighting for economic equality against one of the most well-funded militaries in South America.
