“I think therefore I am.” ~DescartesJohn Jennifer adds: I care therefore we are… and you cannot think your way to ‘we'John Jennifer is a poet, an architect, and a cultural instigator. He helped create The Museum of No Spectators which includes Burning Man art of snark and social justice, but no velvet ropes. He's a paradox embracer. In a world of binaries, he asserts that between black and white is not a gradient of gray; between black and white is all the conceivable colors.Hear him philosophize about different styles of art and artists, from avant garde to architecture, from Salvador Dalí to Frank Lloyd Wright. They explore how a glittery clothespin alligator and a museum-grade sculpture both share the humanity of the giver.They explore playa art — genre-defying, genre-defining — and the value of both fine art and participatory art at Burning Man.They explore how creative expression went from being seen as a hobby to a human need, and how creative community proliferates.Listen in on their profound and playful chat.
Randee Dawn Returns! Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know even more about Randee Dawn. Randee first appeared on the show in April of 2025, and now she is back with more book talk! Randee's newest novel is called Leave No Trace, is out now, and is available everywhere you get books. In this episode, we chat about why Radiohead gave her a gold record, some of her experiences writing for Alternative Press magazine, and touring with Radiohead in their earlier days. Then we move onto her course in BEING interviewed, some of her past vacation destinations, upcoming vacation destinations, and what kind of things she searches out while visiting new places. Finally, we get into her books. Randee has several speculative fiction novels out; as well as a few in the works. he writes two series, in two different universes. I get her to explain each of the books and their associated universes. Her newest endeavor is Leave No Trace, which is book 2 in her musician / fairy series. While reading book 1 isn't 100% necessary, it sure helps. We also discuss her other books, including: The Only Song Worth Singing, Tune In Tomorrow, We Interrupt This Program, Don't Touch That Dial, and Leave No Trace. Keep your eyes peeled for Randee Dawn Appearances at fantasy and writing cons worldwide. She will be at World Fantasy Con coming up and frequently appears at World Con and others.

Send us a textWildfire smoke, sudden downpours, and surprise park closures are rewriting the camping playbook—and we're mapping a better way forward. From downbursts that flatten tree canopies to late-season black flies and fire bans that change by municipality, we share how our own trips have shifted and what actually works when conditions get weird. This is a practical, no-drama guide to staying safe, staying flexible, and still finding joy around the campfire when the rules of the outdoors keep changing.We dig into the realities campers now face: how to check fire bans across jurisdictions, read air quality indexes before you roll, and build a safer camp when torrential rain hits. We talk fire hygiene that prevents smouldering root fires, smarter site selection that avoids flood paths, and the gear that holds up—tight rainflies, solid guylines, repair tape, and a pre-filled water bucket. You'll also hear tips for navigating drought and water scarcity with reliable filtration, plus how to spot and treat heat exhaustion fast. On the wildlife front, we cover rising tick and mosquito activity, daily tick checks, and why a small removal kit can save a trip.Planning is where resilience starts. We walk through creating Plan A, B, and C routes to dodge local smoke and storms, using Parks Canada and Ontario Parks updates, cross-checking municipal advisories, and leaning on weather and AQI tools for real-time decisions. We round it out with low-impact choices—carpooling when possible, rechargeable or solar lighting, battery recycling, and Leave No Trace habits—that reduce harm without killing the fun. Camping is still magic. With a flexible mindset and a few new skills, it's not only possible—it's better, because you're ready.If this helped, follow the show, share it with a camping friend, and leave a quick review so more outdoor lovers can find it.

Send us a textWarm October sun, a gentle river, and the sweet spot between skills and ease—day two on Temagami delivered a slow-burn kind of joy. We kept the mileage short, dialled in our teamwork over breakfast, and spent the afternoon playing in friendly rapids with boats light and smiles wide. If you've wondered how to design a canoe-camping day that builds confidence without chasing distance, this is the blueprint.We break down the day from a compact portage around a falls to the practical art of ferrying and S turns—how to set an angle, read a tongue of current, and keep hips loose so the boat does the work. With the water as coach, we lap the same feature to sharpen timing and control, proving you don't need big whitewater to grow river sense. Along the shore, camp takes shape early: tents pitched, late lunch enjoyed, and a quick, bracing swim to rinse off the trail dust. The heat feels surreal for October, which brings its own lessons in layering and hydration for shoulder-season paddling.Fishing fans get their moment too. Jared hooks a solid bass and lets it go, a small but clear nod to stewardship and Leave No Trace. We talk safety without killing the vibe: why intentional swims are the only ones we'll accept, how throw bags and buddy systems add margin, and when to say yes to one more lap versus calling it a day. With a relaxed plan for tomorrow—likely a couple of small rapids, a short paddle, and a meet-up with Greg in the afternoon—we lean into the idea that a great trip balances play and planning.If you love canoe camping, Temagami routes, beginner whitewater, or simply hearing the river in the background while you plan your next adventure, you'll feel right at home here. Follow along for practical tips, warm camp stories, and the small wins that turn a simple day into a standout memory.

Today's environmental recording captures the sound of an area within Forest Park that few people gave much thought to, until a headline grabbed their attention 21 years ago.In 2004, a pair of off-trail endurance runners came across a father and daughter living in a dugout shelter in Portland's 5200 acre Forest Park. They had been living there for four years.Upon discovery, police were dispatched for a wellness check. Eventually one officer helped the two resettle on a horse farm where the father, Frank, worked and they attended the local church. They left the farm after about a month, never to be heard from again. Their story inspired Peter Rock's 2009 fictionalized novel My Abandonment, which was adapted into the acclaimed 2018 film Leave No Trace.When first discovered, Frank was 53 and Ruth was 12. Their makeshift home was constructed on the side of a steep hill, not far from where this recording was made. Inside the shelter were encyclopedias, a bible, toys, a doll, sleeping bags. Nearby was a planted vegetable garden and a water catchment structure.“But how could a 53 year old father with a 12 year old daughter survive in this thick, dense forest for four years?” asks a reporter as he bushwhacks down a brushy hillside in a 2004 segment for KATU news. “Well, police say Frank's a smart guy, college-educated. He's also an ex-marine who served two tours in Vietnam.”The reporter concludes, “So why would a father with no job, but a $400 a month disability check, hide in the forest? Those that saw them on their weekly walks out of the woods to church, the library and to buy food say it was a father's fear society might separate him from the one he loves.” Amateur mystery detectives on Reddit wanted to know more. Based on the few details in the 2004 news stories, they placed the father, Frank Trecarten, in articles 20 years prior in 1984, describing a manhunt for a mountain man or “survivalist”, in Quebec and New Hampshire after allegations of desecrating an church altar and attempted arson. Then in 2005, log books for Appalachian Trail hikers signed by “Mountain Man” and “Miss Mountain Dew”—believed to be trail names for Frank and Ruth—were discovered. A photo corroborates the placement with the identifying note: Frank “Trefcarten”. Most recently, in 2013, the name Frank Treecarten reappears in articles outlining a flare gun shooting assault in Concord, New Hampshire, where it appears Frank was charged with two felonies and held on $8,000 bail. The verdict in the case is unknown.These details paint the story in a more acute light, potentially revealing a decades-long pattern of living on the fringes, possibly exacerbated by PTSD.I re-watched Leave No Trace and listened to the My Abandonment audiobook. Although the movie is adapted from the book, they diverge significantly, especially approaching their conclusions. The book is decidedly more tragic, while the movie hits a more optimistic note. The optimist in me wants the film to be closer to the truth. One can't help but wonder about Ruth, who would be in her mid 30's now, and Frank, now in his mid 70‘s. If amateur investigators are to be believed, Ruth is now married and living in Oregon. Another thing that I noticed and appreciated in the film was how sparse the score was. It was barely there. It inspired me to further pare down my own future scores, letting the soundscape “take solos”. Additionally, a lot of films get the wildlife sounds wrong, but this was better than most. Varied Thrush, and Northern Pygmy Owl stood out to my ear. I don't remember hearing Pacific Wren though; a true soundmark of Forest Park. That late May morning I sat in the middle of the Maple Trail above Saltzman Creek. No one passed by. The trail had been closed for some time following bridge damage. Portions of steel decking were broken off and the railing remained squashed from the impact of a fallen tree. While there, I made an oil pastel drawing while soaking up the tranquil setting. I also made a half-hearted attempt to scout around looking some clue of a former habitation; a whisper trail, a depression. Then it occurred to me that I really didn't know precisely where to look. That ridge or this ridge? It seemed pointless, really. Perhaps the reason that this story still looms so large in imaginations is because it makes us confront how estranged we truly are from the old ways: living light in the woods, not too far removed from hunting and gathering. We don't really hear these kind of narratives in the USA anymore. We are aghast to discover that a father and daughter did so, undetected, for four years in a city nature park. It defied expectation. I wonder what this says about us; about the velocity and trajectory of civilization? I don't have any conclusions of my own to offer. All I know is a young person, I spent nights discretely camped at a few dubious spots while cycling across the USA. You definitely sleep lighter. I can't imagine that kind of background anxiety over the long term.My score attempts to hold these two things in tension: the wonder and a the discomfort of living outdoors, close to the land, peering into its wildness.Thanks for listening and reading.

Recorded in Black Rock City, you can hear the grainy gravitas of our voices...For decades now, Jon Sarriugarte, Krysten Mate, their daughter and their team build mobile art. From a meter maid cart turned space shuttle, to a custom copper retro fire snail on wheels, their creations make up part of BRC's moving landscape. They built a trilobite to ride, a gilded golden zeppelin car, and a noir submarine buggy.Then there are the Serpent Twins. Back in 2011, when the playa glowed with now outdated EL wire, these 50-foot long slithering dragons rippled with color just by touching their LED skin.What about this green insect rocket?Project: EMPIRE returned to BRC with even more sights, sounds, and stories. It's a NASA spaceship and a giant bug, a bewildering blend of art, engineering, and a delightfully conspiratorial backstory… On playa we tracked down Jon and his daughter Zolie who has been Burning her entire life. They shared stories of the absurd early days, and the adventure of navigating the desert in a two-ton masterpiece. We talked about bringing radical self-reliance to the default world, and the mechanics of a legacy built, piece by painstaking piece, in the name of art.formandreform.com/empire-of-dirtprojectempire.orgoilpunk.com20 Years of Mutant Vehicles (Burning Man Journal) LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

In this deep and meandering episode of The Forest School Podcast, Lewis, Wem, and storyteller Danny English explore the layered meanings behind the phrase “Leave No Trace.” What begins as a discussion on outdoor ethics soon becomes a rich meditation on ecological grief, language, pedagogy, woodland relationships, and what it means to belong to a place. Together, they question the cultural norms of tidying up, consider the impact of den-building, and reflect on how story can shift behaviour more meaningfully than rules. Danny shares his roots in experiential education, the story behind his book Tales of the Timeless Forest, and how he works through conflict using narrative. From philosophical musings on deadwood and dominance, to practical provocations for forest school practice, this conversation offers no easy answers—but plenty of fertile ground for reflection.⏱ Chapter Timings:04:00 – Danny's story: from Ramsbottom to experiential education in the US08:10 – Bridging the gap between outdoor and mainstream education10:42 – “Using nature” vs “being with nature” – why language matters15:48 – The origins of Leave No Trace and its cultural framing19:31 – Dens, deadwood, and how much trace is too much?25:25 – Woodland management dilemmas and practitioner responsibility32:16 – Story as a tool for navigating complex moments with children38:22 – Emotional reactions to monolith beech trees – trace, grief, and care47:33 – Is ‘permissive ecology' a useful metaphor for outdoor practice?53:04 – Post-humanism, story-sharing, and the joy of seasonal tales

Today, Leave No Trace Ireland launched its annual "Love This Place" campaign, calling on the public to come together to protect Ireland's rich natural landscapes, so we can all enjoy them responsibly as we head into the summer season. Now in its fifth year, the national awareness campaign is supported by partners including the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, the Office of Public Works, Coillte, Sport Ireland, Waterways Ireland, Wicklow Co Council, Galway Co Council, Clare Co Council & Cork City Council - all dedicated to promoting responsible outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship. With more people than ever seeking connection with nature - through hiking, swimming, dog-walking and exploring - this year's "Love This Place" campaign reinforces the simple message: "If you love this place, leave no trace." The Need for Protection Ireland's great outdoors has seen a sharp rise in popularity in recent years, with over 98% of residents valuing time spent in nature. However, increased footfall has also brought challenges: trail erosion, littering, dog fouling, wildlife disturbance, and an increase in wildfires - 96% of which are linked to human activity. "Our message is clear," said Maura Kiely, CEO of Leave No Trace Ireland, "We all have a part to play in preserving the places and wildlife we love. This campaign invites everyone enjoying the outdoors this summer, from seasoned hikers to dog owners, to take simple, mindful steps to protect our natural landscapes." Campaign Highlights Throughout the summer, "Love This Place" will roll out: A digital storytelling campaign featuring voices from across Ireland: farmers, walkers, dog owners, and community groups. On-the-ground events and clean-up days coordinated with local authorities and environmental groups. Education initiatives and social media toolkits for influencers, schools, and tourism partners. Taking Action The "Love This Place" 2025 campaign shares three tangible actions for the public to take: Be responsible with your dog - Keep dogs on a lead, especially around farm animals and wildlife, and always clean up after them. Protect Wildlife and wild places - Bring all litter home, don't feed wild animals, and watch wildlife from a safe distance. Stay on the path - Stick to marked trails to avoid damaging habitats or disturbing animals, both seen and unseen. A Shared Responsibility "Our land is not just scenic - it's living," added Kiely. "It feeds us, shelters biodiversity, and connects our communities. Respecting it is not about restriction, but about care and responsibility. We're so grateful to the public and our partners for supporting "Love This Place" - we ask everyone to take action and join the movement because protecting the places we love means we can continue to enjoy them in the future." Speaking about the launch Dara Calleary TD. Minister for Social Protection and Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht said, "Ireland's natural heritage is one of our greatest assets - environmentally, culturally, and economically. The "Love This Place" campaign reminds us that with this privilege comes responsibility. By embracing the principles of Leave No Trace, we protect our landscapes and support efforts to tackle our declining biodiversity. Even small actions matter, helping us to work in greater harmony and building the resilience of nature across the country. I am proud to support this campaign and encourage everyone to play their part." To learn more or get involved, visit: www.leavenotraceireland.org/love-this-place

Randee and her mom are very close. They have a wonderful relationship and Randee says "she's my best cheerleader." A lot of that has to do with the honesty and open communication that they had from the very beginning-"adoption was normal, not a stigma, not a tragedy." Also, Randee learned at a young age that just because you are blood related doesn't guarantee you a loving relationship.Lois was definitely a role model to Randee. But Randee also feels that she learned from things that Lois did and didn't t do and then would form her own opinions. Randee had the luxury of knowing that her mom "always had my back.".Unfortunately, growing up in the 70's, Randee's parents divorced and her mom went to work. She was able to get contract work, writing and editing government contracts. It was a stressful time for Lois, but she made the best of it. For example, her office didn't have a window, so she decided to put a picture of a window up on the wall. That made it feel so much better."The Only Songs We're Singing," was released April 2025 and "Leave No Trace" will be released August 2025.In “The Only Song Worth Singing”, the power of friendship is one of the major themes blended with myth and the power of music. Imagine Irish folklore combined with mysticism – makes for a magical read.She's also written Amazon Bestseller, Tune in Tomorrow and co-wrote the popular, The Law & Order: SVU Unofficial Companion and co-edited, Across the Universe: Tales of Alternative Beatles.Randee Dawn's Bio:Randee Dawn is a Brooklyn-based author and journalist focusing on speculative fiction across the categories (science-fiction, fantasy and horror) at night, while writing entertainment and lifestyle stories during the day for publications including Today.com, NBCNews.com, Variety, The Los Angeles Times and Emmy Magazine.You may have seen my name in other publications over the years, including Soap Opera Digest and The Boston Phoenix, E! Online, New Musical Express and Mojo. I contributed to a French book about American television, Les Series Tele and co-authored (with Susan Green) The Law & Order: SVU Unofficial Companion.I've got a fair amount of short fiction in anthologies, and authored the short story/poetry compilation Home for the Holidays. I'm currently represented by Bridget Smith at JABberwocky Literary Agency, and I frequently appear at conventions and workshops on panels and to give readings.My first novel, Tune In Tomorrow, was published by Solaris/Rebellion in 2022. Arc Manor will publish my next two novels in 2025: The Only Song Worth Singing (April) and Leave No Trace (August).My degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University is occasionally useful, though I'm pleased to have a paralegal certificate from New York University.Currently, I reside with the love of my life and an adorable West Highland Terrier (who is also quite lovable). No, I don't have a fox, but if you want to meet a fox like this, JAB Canid Education and Conservation Center can help.

Randee Dawn. Take a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know Randee dawn. Randee is a journalist and author. In this episode we get to know Randee from her early days in Bensonhurst Brookly, to her NPR day, and even her beginnings as a music journalist. Randee shares stories about working with The Trashcan Sinatras, and Adam Schlesinger. She tells us about how her music fan attitude led to her working with the band Ivy, which turned into some really fascinating online blog projects. Then we discuss how she came to write for Alternative Press magazine, The Hollywood Reporter, and Soap Opera Digest, basically at the same time. In her soap opera journalism career, she covered: One Life To Live, Another World, and maybe just a bit on Passions!. Naturally I ask her about her interviewing Vincent D'Onofrio about the Forest Witaker TV show The Godfather of Harlem. Even though Randee made a bit of a name for herself writing Law & Order speculative fiction, that didn't come up in her interview with Vincent. Finally, we dive into Randee's books! Besides having developed an audience in the speculative fiction area, Randee Dawn has written a bunch of books. Her fun and dynamic storytelling has gotten her multiple novels published in a relatively short period of time. 'Tune In Tomorrow', 'Don't Touch That Dial', 'Leave No Trace', and 'The Only Song Worth Singing' have catapulted Randee into a new level of popularity. These novels have become so popular that the publishers are dying for more! Check out all of her work at RandeeDawn.com and find her on all the socials at Randee Dawn. Randee continues to write for Today.com, Variety, The Envelope, and The L.A. Times.

Katie and Stuart explore how to foster accessibility and agency in artist groups. They describe some of the installations coming this summer, from interactive Sphinxes to a sphere of sinks, from a lost troll of sustainability to a fire-spinning pigeon.
