Another Log on the Fire

by EastVanToElsewhere

OurTurn

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

by EastVanToElsewhere

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)

by EastVanToElsewhere

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.
