What a well written and well read piece. I'm so happy you're experimenting with the podcast. Hearing your cadence and emphasis brings a even more richness to your work.
You triggered so many memories of my youth growing up in Iowa: "smell of black earth lifted by hard rain", "CB radio themed t-shirts and paraphernalia", "small town church chapels, last remodeled and dishes bought in 1952".
I'm reading E. O. Wilson's Consilience where he talks about the theory of gene-culture coevolution. This sentence remind me of this idea:
"That our culture is best for us, and best for our homelands because our culture arose there in concert with all of the relatives of those places"
And I love the imagery of "tens of thousands of miles of pavement had turned beneath their wheels like the globe had turned beneath my jets aloft." I picture a truck spinning the globe beneath their wheels.
hi brad, thanks for this feedback. i'm glad you like the rural SD visuals. and i write to be read so the audio is kind of fun. trying to figure out the best quick recording technique. and figure out how to edit. i'll take recommendations if you have them. i zoom record our podcasts, but i am trying to get by without getting that out. i'll go listen to your stuff again. i remember it being very well produced. i'll listen for what you're doing.
