Podcast appearances and mentions of fil corbitt

How can listening deepen our relationship with place? What do birds think about highway noise? Is that ice bridge safe to cross at this time of year? How can I learn to listen more closely? Join me and Fil Corbitt as we snowshoe down the Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in search of a handmade desk and a place to listen to flowing water, to birdsong, to each other, and to the ever-changing landscape itself.

This is the 4th bonus episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. This week we've got a special guest in to talk all about the music of Tove Jansson, and the game we talked about last week (Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley) AND the short story that kicked off this miniseason (the Spring Tune). Martin is a musician, a podcaster, a player of games, so he is ideal for all this! If you would like to listen along to the music, you'll want to start with this advert composed by Robert Farnon. Then visit this lovely Autumn Song by Tove Jansson and Erna Tauro. Henry Kathman's translation and cover of Snufkin's Spring Song can be found here. The video essay Dave was referring to is here. Finally, wrap your ears around the not unchallenging Moomin Voices album. Martin's Spirit of the Moomins is The Wind by Fil Corbitt. His Spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat is Noah Caldwell-Gervais. You can find his own music at Pale Bird. His podcasts are Song by Song and Neutrino Watch.

The supersonic crack of a whip echoes through downtown Reno. It's an art form to some, a concern to others, and for one person it's the start of their search for Nando, the master whip-maker.

My office is a field of poison flowerspurple swaying in the breeze.It is also a pathway. For a bear, whose tracks have on occasion encountered my own. Surprised by each other's quiet presence, we make eye contact before retreat.•On the way to my desk, I traverse a shelf more mixed than lush: Throat Forest — a half failing aspen grove, green shoots among the fallen white trunks. • That which is pliant is a disciple of life: that which is rigid, a disciple of death. • Throat Forest voices this point. The living trees bend and sway, while the dead hold steady and unwavering: solemn monuments, they are their own gravestones.•This has been a year of adjustment, a season of bending and adapting. But in so, a year of life. I appreciate your presence, and this show will return soon, with more findings and searchings. 

Fil Corbitt is one of Reno's most talented and better known podcasters. In a recent episode of The Wind podcast, Fil explored last year's decision by the city of Reno to ban whips from downtown. I speak with Fil in this episode about the ban and what they found. Also, the Washoe County board of commissioners recently approved a resolution that grants the county manager the authority to provide county employees with public relations and legal support. Up to $150,000 worth.Washoe County Manager Eric Brown explains what's been happening and what kinds of threats county employees have received.Support the show

All we talk about is the smoke. Where I live it has replaced the weather; both conversationally and to some degree physically. Fire has become its own season.I have not had a conversation in over a month that didn't at least touch on the smoke.But really, that's only if we're lucky. Because if we aren't talking about the smoke, it's because a fire has come close enough to talk about that instead. Close enough to our houses or friends houses or favorite places in the mountains that we watch slowly be eaten by a red line as the Facebook group updates the fire perimeter.

A note on Throat Forest, a half-failing aspen grove that I pass through on my way to my handmade desk in the woods. 

Fil Corbitt is a musician, podcast producer and videographer living in the woods of the Sierra Nevada, near Reno, Nevada. He has developed the successful podcast Van Sounds, but his new project takes the idea of podcasting and turns it on its head: rather than a show about talking, Fil's creating a show about listening. A chat with Fil about his project and how podcasts can listen more.

Welcome to season 5 of the PDS! On this episode we listen to the Wind! Each episode with host Fil Corbitt is filled with some of the richest audio atmosphere we have ever heard on a show.

Fil Corbitt is the host and producer of a new podcast , taking place right here in the Sierra Nevada. It’s called The Wind , and it’s an exploration of language and music, particularly during a time of social isolation.

Welcome to a new administration, for those of us in the United States. With that in mind, it feels like today is the right day bring you a piece that focuses on thinking transness across borders. This episode is called "They / Them," and it's from Fil Corbitt's new show The Wind. I love love love these deeply felt conversations about language beyond the gender binary in English, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Portuguese and Hebrew. I learned a lot, and I think you will too. We're Transcripts, a project of Tretter Transgender Oral History Project, a project of the University of Minnesota Libraries. Keep listening for more from us-- we're about to launch some big things, including virtual community events, new social media (!!!), and more! So as always, please rate and review, share with a friend, and help us grow. See you next time.

Time can wear a word down. If said to much, or not enough, it can begin to mean something else entirely or in some cases start to blend into the words around it. Three such words are hobo, tramp and bum. 

I found a handsaw in the mountains, sticking out of the snow. I carried it deep into the woods and used it to build a desk from a felled tree. This desk is where I produce and record the podcast.

Though the Playa has been made famous by the biggest party in the world, Nevada’s Burner Byway Road Trip is about everything BUT Burning Man. ‘Cause let’s face it—the road from Reno to the Black Rock Desert and beyond is loaded with some of the largest wilderness areas in the lower 48, surreal landscapes, natural hot springs, some of the darkest designated skies in America, ancient rock carvings, and larger-than-life open air installations inspired by this very place itself. It’s no coincidence that thousands of people make the annual pilgrimage “home” to the Black Rock each year to hit the reset button and grab onto a caliber of freedom found nowhere else. Freedom is in this desert. Always here, open, and waiting along the #BurnerByway. Episode II picks up where we left off at Pyramid Lake, further up the Burner Byway road trip in Gerlach. We begin by chatting with Friends of Black Rock, who lends fascinating insight on the open air installation at Guru Road, as well as the founders of Planet X Pottery—both of whom were inspired by the beauty of the Black Rock to create their work. From there, we sling back some of Bruno’s famous ravioli and a picon punch or two, explore Fly Geyser, and get a glimpse of how vastly spectacular all 799k acres of Black Rock Desert truly is. To learn more details about the Burner Byway and other road trips, visit TravelNevada.com. This podcast was produced by Fil Corbitt of Van Sounds. Find more information about him and his work at VanSounds.org. Intro music in this episode is a song called “Space Camp” by Reno artist Buffalo Moses. The outro was an original song by Reno artist People With Bodies.

There’s a wisdom in tradition and history that’s worth learning from—equal parts brain and heart—and there sure is a whole lot of it found along Nevada’s Cowboy Corridor Road Trip. In this three part series, hear from Nevadans who, over multi-generations, have formed a deep bond with the northern Nevada landscape, making this part of the Great Basin unlike any other. From Basque sheepherding, to Ranch Brewed Beer, Ghost Towns, Mining, Rodeos, and Cowboying, the history and heritage found along the Cowboy Corridor runs deep, and is yours for the exploring. #CowboyCorridor In the first episode of this three-part series, we embark along the Cowboy Corridor starting at its eastern most point in West Wendover, along Nevada’s portion of Interstate 80. Here, we chat with this sparkling city perched on the western edge of the Bonneville Salt Flats, who’ve embraced live music as part of their story for more than 70 years. From there we move west to meet with one of Nevada’s oldest microbreweries, and tried and true places to refuel that have been a fixture of the Elko skyline for decades.

Freedom is in this desert. Always here, open, and waiting along the #BurnerByway. Episode I begins in Reno where the Burner Byway Road Trip begins. Learn more about Burning Man and the world-class art that stemmed from it at the Reno Playa Art Park, and the only accredited art museum in Nevada, that lives in the same bracket as New York’s MET. From here, we dive further into the route at the breathtaking Pyramid Lake—an ancient glacial lake known for its endless Paiute history and entrancing scenery. To learn more details about the Burner Byway and other road trips, visit TravelNevada.com. This podcast was produced by Fil Corbitt of Van Sounds. Intro music in this episode is a song called “Everything in the Desert Wants to Kill You” by Reno artist Rob Ford Explorer. The outro was by Reno artist People With Bodies.

In the final episode of this three-part series, Fil Corbitt meets up with a family responsible for saving a piece of Nevada’s pioneer spirit in the living ghost town of Unionville. In Unionville, we connect with Nevada’s mining history, maybe even a few Mark Twain mentions, and how the modern day caretakers are moving the Nevada story forward in this 150 year old ghost town. We learn more about Nevada’s early days in Lovelock and Seven Troughs ghost town before capping off this #NVRoadTrip like a true northern Nevada would at one of the most storied rodeos in the West.

Capriola Co., one of the American West’s most legendary custom saddle and leather goods shops. The legacy of the man who started it is very much alive here, and next door, at the Cowboy Arts & Gear Museum. From here, we head west to Winnemucca to connect with the founder of the Buckaroo Hall of Fame to learn about the place that commemorates the men who ran cattle in Nevada’s Great Basin for centuries. Striking up a conversation over Picon’s at The Martin Hotel leads us to the Winnemucca Basque Club’s dance rehearsal, and a historical nightcap of Basque families who have sheep herded, been part of the Winnemucca basque boarding houses, and moved the Nevada story forward for decades.  To learn more details about the Burner Byway and other road trips, visit TravelNevada.com.

This week we bring you voices from heaven, hell, and everywhere in between. In documentary films, the authoritative “Voice of God” style of narration presents a seemingly omniscient, impartial, deep-voiced male narrator. No one has had more practice with the role than Peter Coyote, best known as the narrator of Ken Burns' documentaries (The West, The Roosevelts, The National Parks). Here, Coyote gives a master class on the major differences in meaning that arise from tiny shifts in register, pulling a story out of melodrama into an illusion of objectivity. Ellie Kemper (star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) shares a mysterious sound that's stayed with her for twenty-three years, and describes a high-school musical performance that changed her life. Penelope Spheeris is best known as the director of Wayne's World, but while filming the legendary documentary The Decline of Western Civilization Part III, about homeless L.A. punks, she met her long-time boyfriend SIN, who performs dissonant guitar rock as psychological therapy to exorcise the demons in his mind: “It's like listening to hell.” And our host describes his changing relationship to voices and narration as he adapts to his own degenerative blindness. Finally, we'll inaugurate a new recurring segment, “The iTunes Library of Babel,” in which we present short excerpts from an infinite Borgesian library of podcasts. Produced by Myke Dodge Weiskopf, Jenny Ament, Ross Simonini, and Andrew Leland. Library of Babel excerpts produced by Fil Corbitt and Owen Poindexter.

This week we're talking westerns with our good friend, Fil Corbitt. Instead of rank-orders or any "best of" lists, we simply talk about what makes a good western, and we share some of our favorites. Joey comes into this episode ill prepared, but he tries his best. For emergent culture, we watch a trailer for "Gone Are The Days." Next week, we're talking movies with a twist! For more from Fil Corbitt, see this: http://filcorbitt.com Get into it!

This week, we're going back to a classic format: ranking a director's movies. We talk Tarantino and give our rankings of his films (those he's directed). For emergent culture, we dive into some rumors about Tarantino's new film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Next week, we're talking about Westerns with a good friend of the podcast, Fil Corbitt. Get into it!

Fil Corbitt, creator of the Van Sounds Podcast digs into Nevada's unofficial state drink, The Picon Punch. Stemming from Basque heritage that is still very much alive and well in northern Nevada, Fil explores the Picon's shades of brown by traveling to these historic, and now very iconic Basque Boardinghouses across Nevada. Included in this original Van Sounds episode, hear from JT Basque Bar & Dining Room in Gardnerville, The Martin Hotel in Winnemucca, Louis' Basque Corner in Reno, The Overland Hotel in Fallon, The Star Hotel in Elko, and the Shepherds Inn in Fresno, CA.

"We started the trip without much of a purpose," writes Fil Corbitt. "We wanted to be pushed around. Wanted to find something we didn't know we were looking for. We wanted to take some small chance and see where we landed. And see which side was facing up."  But how do you find that kind of serendipity when you only have a week? Fil created a game. Each morning, he and his friend would wake up and roll a single dice. The rules? A one meant go north. 2 = east, 3 = south, 4 = west, 5 = stay put and 6 meant to cross the nearest state border. The only rule? No backtracking.  Today, we follow Fil as he and his friend Brian figuratively and literally roll the dice and see where they land. And which side is facing up.    This episode originally aired as a six-part series on Fil's awesome podcast, Van Sounds. We cut quite a bit of material to turn it into a single piece. You can listen to the full version of the Dice series as well as other awesome travel stories, like the Freight Train episode, at: http://vansounds.org/
