We're back! After a corona hiatus, we've had a moment be still.....and I've been alone in the studio far too much. Continuing to cope through humor and solid ground realities, here's a bit of fun and a conversation Jack and I had with Sarah Swofford, first responder, co‐director of Emergency Education International, and local badass in the Cascade Region with some very wise things to say. Also, we have a brief peek into the new David Attenborough series. Be sure to listen to the very end.

Jack and I sit down with Existential Philosopher and thinker Roger Kaye to talk about the inherent anxiety of being human, and how we are best able to cope with it in our modern technological world.

Give it a listen, and hopefully it will help ease the panic of a particularly stressful and anxiety ridden week in the news. Please subscribe, send to friend, and let us know what you think!
