I prefer virtual talks to cut down on carbon emissions, but I’m willing to travel for the right opportunity (and if you’re in the Ontario-Quebec rail corridor!)Every…

It's a podcast to fall asleep to. John Moe interviews people on subjects they can be dull about and witter on endlessly. For the rest of the world, me droning on about bagel-making, beekeeping and water kefir grains will put them to sleep. Only here on Tumblr will it be appreciated.
Or, possibly, not.

This is ShortCuts Live! Katherine McLeod sits down with past SpokenWeb Podcast producers Ariel Kroon, Nick Beauchesne, and Chelsea Miya.
"This month, ShortCuts presents another ShortCuts Live! It is a conversation with Ariel Kroon, Nick Beauchesne, and Chelsea Miya about their collaboration in producing “Academics on Air” (May 2022) for The SpokenWeb Podcast. That episode became a paper that Ariel, Nick, and Chelsea co-presented at the 2022 SpokenWeb Symposium and Institute. After that presentation, ShortCuts producer Katherine McLeod sat down with Ariel, Nick, and Chelsea around a microphone in the SpokenWeb Amp Lab at Concordia University. They talked about processes of collaboration and archival listening that shaped their work. Starting with one audio clip as the short ‘cut’ that caught their attention in the archives, they talk about about context of that clip in the Voiceprint archives, the potential for podcasting to be a radical act of unarchiving, and what makes recordings of a radio show a unique task for cataloguers working with literary sounds recordings, and much more."

This one was tons of fun to do.

Some thoughts on the phenomenon of what I have taken to calling "Savior Syndrome" - a thought groove instilled in us by religion and culture and expanded into activist/movement spaces. Think through this with me?
Help support Solarpunk Presents Podcast by donating or sharing with your friends.
I just set up a PayPal and I am very proud of myself for figuring it out, plz may I have cookie?
Seriously, though, if you would like to support the podcast in bringing solarpunk content to as broad a range of listenership as possible in order to inspire humans to work towards a sustainable future in the present ... consider making a one-time donation at this link to offset our costs.
We're a two-person operation and this is a passion project for us; we're not funded by anyone or anything (wishful thinking...), and any money we make goes directly back into the podcast for things like hosting fees, time spent on research and audio editing, interviewing guests and more.
