In this episode, Cindy Esliger talks about how the flurry of our everyday workplace conversations can lead to misunderstandings and confusion. When we are part of work conversations at the coffee machine or in email threads that overlap other conversations, how do we know what to follow up on? We miss out on clarifying the next steps, deadlines, and each person's responsibilities. So how do we mitigate this problem? How do we make sure we complete our conversations? Simply having the initial conversation is often not enough to ensure success. We can walk away assuming the other party is responsible for a task or not understanding a deadline. And this lack of clarity can lead to failed projects and finger-pointing. Cindy states that it's not about holding everyone hostage to an endless meeting assigning duties, but simply ensuring that the end of every conversation includes summarizing what the next steps are, who's doing what, and when it's due.  Cindy advocates for avoiding the psychological toll of incomplete conversations by employing practical strategies that tidy up lingering questions. She offers three tips for implementing this into our daily work lives. 1) Summarize before we wrap, 2) Be explicit about ownership, and 3) Set deadlines and enforce them. The goal is mutual understanding. Cindy explains how to slow down and close the conversational loop for increased workplace success. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Completing the ConversationAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima Peace Memorial park are difficult places to visit, but also important destinations to maintain and allow people to consider wartime choices and their consequences. This year, I had the chance to visit Pearl Harbor on Hiroshima day August 6th and attend a peace light-up event at Pearl Harbor again on August 7th to commemorate the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945. This is an adaptation of a MEDIUM article I wrote here.

Digital services (and digital access to information) are an increasingly important means of helping marginalized groups in emergencies. But, as you can imagine, there are many barriers preventing equal access to online information and apps. For instance, when international humanitarian organizations offer services in only international or official languages, many minority language speakers are excluded. Aimee Ansari, CEO, and Ellie Kemp, Head of Research, Evidence and Advocacy at CLEAR Global did us the honour of visiting our Globally Speaking studio to share with us the first results of a research project on language in digital inclusion. Listen to their fascinating insights – such as the intriguing phenomenon of certain minorities using fintech solutions, like mobile money, in languages they don't fully understand or can't read. They also explore how reliance on technology in a narrow range of languages can exacerbate the vulnerability of already marginalized populations.

Tips and Tools for Christian Relationships If you are seeking wisdom and understanding about conflict and how to properly deal with conflict when it comes your way, then this is the episode for you. This episode is all about conflict! It then shares a personal story about the different conflict resolution approaches the hosts were raised with, and now. The problem is that in conflict, we often just seek to get our own way rather than understand each other. We expect to agree, but disagreements inevitably happen. The question is how to maintain relationships amidst conflict and how to aim toward having a shared goal Worldly solutions to conflict are to either avoid conflicts completely or aggressively relish in them to "win." Both can damage relationships. We share some personal stories illustrating how avoiding or pushing actually increases and prolongs conflicts. This episode presents some of our "soul-anchored solutions", one of which is to change expectations about conflict and to see it as an opportunity. The goal becomes solving problems together through perspective sharing and understanding on both sides. It is so important to openly discuss what matters and why.

It was a very productive writing week and I'm about to put the finishing touches on Try Not to Die: In the Wild West. Also had a great meeting with Steve Montgomery about his TNTD: Super High. Sage Ricci, the mastermind behind TNTD: In the Wizard's Tower is designing a new Try Not to Die shirt. Looking forward to hitting the Knotfest concert tonight with my family. I share a very embarrassing road rage incident I had earlier this week. All the talk of TBI and CTE only makes it that much more difficult to stand by and watch countless kids sustain unnecessary damage playing contact sports before 14. The repeated blows to the head and the concussions can change the trajectory of your child's life, and all because they wanted to play a sport. Please look at the research that has been done and take your emotions out of the decision. Ask yourself is this sport safe for my kid?  Includes the short story "Mutual Understanding" taken from Somber Stroll and narrated by Tee Quillin.

你小时候有没有问过妈妈，自己是从哪儿来的？你得到的回答，是不是也属于诸如此类的玩笑：垃圾桶捡来的、洪水冲来的、石头缝里蹦出来的......在这些堪称奇幻的叙述中，生育这件事被轻巧绕开，作为个体的母亲以及她切身的疼痛也无形中被埋进沉默。是什么造成了女性生育经验在日常讨论和文艺作品中的缺位？本期跳岛，我们邀请了华盛顿大学人类学学者许晶，她长期关注、研究儿童发展，也是一个12岁男孩的“老母亲”。在节目里，她与跳岛的主播于是、钟娜一起，聊了聊她对“成为母亲”（motherhood）的思考。 与言说生育的缺位相互映照的，是在年轻一代中越来越普遍的恐育情绪。越来越多年轻人害怕生孩子，怕的具体是什么？生育恐惧具体指向哪些恐惧？是否生养，可以作为一种划分女性的标准吗？未婚未育和已婚已育的男女，是否真的无法共情？而所谓的母爱，真的是一种“本能”吗？在聊天的过程中，我们谈到了文艺作品中的“逃跑的母亲们”，试图理解她们所体会到的“母爱的游移”。在聊天的过程中，我们也逐渐理解到，所谓的母爱不一定和生育这个动作绑定，而是在和孩子的交互过程中产生的复杂状态，是每个人都有可能获得的经验。正如主播钟娜所说的，无论是否为人父母，我们总归是女儿、是儿子。对于生育这件事，无论我们是否有生育的经验或愿望，都能在共情与思考中获得更深的理解。 【广告时间】 本期节目由Athletic Greens赞助播出 Athletic Greens是一家全球性的健康品牌，其使命是通过关注基础营养，帮助人们拥有健康的主动权。AG公司的旗舰产品AG1是一个多合一的基础营养补充剂，是包含了75种成分、9种必需营养品组合而成的一款方便美味的饮料产品，旨在为顾客提供简单、高效的营养补充解决方案。 关注Athletic Greens微信公众号，回复关键词“跳岛FM”，获得专属福利。 【本期嘉宾】 许晶，人类学学者，儿童发展研究者，著有《培养好孩子》（The Good Child），现居美国西雅图。 【本期主持】 于是，作家，译者。译有珍妮特·温特森、奥尔加·托卡尔丘克等作家的作品。著有《查无此人》《你我好时光》等。 钟娜，中英双语写作者，译者。译有《聊天记录》《正常人》。（豆瓣ID：阿枣） 【时间轴】 04:40 大多数母亲生孩子的时候都没准备好，全部想象都只是冰山一角 16:42 生孩子，是刀枪不入的当代职业女性那个“魔法失灵”的时刻 22:52 从“你是垃圾桶里捡来的”到儿童性教育：两代妈妈如何讲述生娃之痛 36:35 核心家庭的养育模式并非由来已久，养孩子不应该是妈妈一个人的事！ 50:34 想逃跑的母亲和游移的爱：重新思考“母爱是一种本能” 57:40 在与孩子交互的过程中，“母爱”可以是全人类共有的经验 66:49 诚实地谈论生育不一定会“劝退”，更全面的信息有利于更理性的选择 74:48 许晶：作为一个研究者，我更清晰地看到了养育过程中的权力关系 【节目中提到的作品】 书籍、专栏文章 《成为母亲：一名知识女性的自白》[英]蕾切尔·卡斯克 《初为人母》[英] 安·奥克利 《最好的决定》[美] 梅根·多姆(编) Motherhood by Shelia Heti, 2018（中文版即将由99读书人引进） "Thanksgiving in Mongolia" by Ariel Levy, The New Yorker, 2013. 《父权制与资本主义》[日] 上野千鹤子 Mothers and Others: The Evolutionary Origins of Mutual Understanding by Sarah Hardy, 2011 《包法利夫人》[法] 福楼拜 《我的奋斗》[挪威]卡尔·奥韦·克瑙斯高 影视剧 《暗处的女儿》(The Lost Daughter, 2021)，改编自费兰特的同名小说，导演玛吉·吉伦哈尔 《疼痛难免》(This Is Going to Hurt, 2022)，改编自亚当·凯的同名小说 《虚构安娜》(Inventing Anna, 2022)，导演大卫·弗兰科尔 《女人的碎片》(Pieces of a Woman, 2020)，导演凯内尔·穆德卢佐 《凯文怎么了》(We Need To Talk About Kevin, 2011)，改编自莱昂内尔·施赖弗的同名小说，导演琳恩·拉姆塞 【出品人】蔡欣 【主理人】猫弟 【节目编辑】何润哲 桑瑜 【后期制作】AURA.pote 【视觉设计】孙晓曦 陈景婧

Katya Stepanov, co-founder of the Inheritance Project and Rebis, joins the podcast to share about how storytelling can be a transformational and healing practice. Katya begins by telling several powerful stories from her past. We explore how creating safe spaces for diverse narratives subverts exploitative systems that limit the depth of our interpersonal connections and creative intelligence. We reflect on ways that the natural world and agriculture hold wisdom about how to steward our communities and our emotions. Katya talks about how the Inheritance Project creates opportunities for people to grow their self-awareness and explore their background while also staying grounded and regulated.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Double Crux — A Strategy for Mutual Understanding, published by Duncan_Sabien on the LessWrong. Preamble Double crux is one of CFAR's newer concepts, and one that's forced a re-examination and refactoring of a lot of our curriculum (in the same way that the introduction of TAPs and Inner Simulator did previously). It rapidly became a part of our organizational social fabric, and is one of our highest-EV threads for outreach and dissemination, so it's long overdue for a public, formal explanation. Note that while the core concept is fairly settled, the execution remains somewhat in flux, with notable experimentation coming from Julia Galef, Kenzi Amodei, Andrew Critch, Eli Tyre, Anna Salamon, myself, and others. Because of that, this post will be less of a cake and more of a folk recipe—this is long and meandering on purpose, because the priority is to transmit the generators of the thing over the thing itself. Accordingly, if you think you see stuff that's wrong or missing, you're probably onto something, and we'd appreciate having them added here as commentary. Casus belli To a first approximation, a human can be thought of as a black box that takes in data from its environment, and outputs beliefs and behaviors (that black box isn't really "opaque" given that we do have access to a lot of what's going on inside of it, but our understanding of our own cognition seems uncontroversially incomplete). When two humans disagree—when their black boxes output different answers, as below—there are often a handful of unproductive things that can occur. The most obvious (and tiresome) is that they'll simply repeatedly bash those outputs together without making any progress (think most disagreements over sports or politics; the people above just shouting "triangle!" and "circle!" louder and louder). On the second level, people can (and often do) take the difference in output as evidence that the other person's black box is broken (i.e. they're bad, dumb, crazy) or that the other person doesn't see the universe clearly (i.e. they're biased, oblivious, unobservant). On the third level, people will often agree to disagree, a move which preserves the social fabric at the cost of truth-seeking and actual progress. Double crux in the ideal solves all of these problems, and in practice even fumbling and inexpert steps toward that ideal seem to produce a lot of marginal value, both in increasing understanding and in decreasing conflict-due-to-disagreement. Prerequisites This post will occasionally delineate two versions of double crux: a strong version, in which both parties have a shared understanding of double crux and have explicitly agreed to work within that framework, and a weak version, in which only one party has access to the concept, and is attempting to improve the conversational dynamic unilaterally. In either case, the following things seem to be required: Epistemic humility. The number one foundational backbone of rationality seems, to me, to be how readily one is able to think "It's possible that I might be the one who's wrong, here." Viewed another way, this is the ability to take one's beliefs as object, rather than being subject to them and unable to set them aside (and then try on some other belief and productively imagine "what would the world be like if this were true, instead of that?"). Good faith. An assumption that people believe things for causal reasons; a recognition that having been exposed to the same set of stimuli would have caused one to hold approximately the same beliefs; a default stance of holding-with-skepticism what seems to be evidence that the other party is bad or wants the world to be bad (because as monkeys it's not hard for us to convince ourselves that we have such evidence when we really don't).1 Confidence in the existence of objective tr...

For men, testosterone is important for mood, bone health, erectile function, libido, strength and muscle mass and is also associated with lower levels of inflammatory markers, better insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health. It also may even have some vasodilatory effects, and higher testosterone levels are also associated with better health outcomes in general and lower cardiovascular, cancer, and all-cause mortality. Unfortunately, It looks like testosterone levels in the population are dropping, although more isn't necessarily better. On this podcast, NBT Scientific Director Megan Hall and I are talking about testosterone: why we should care about it, how to test for it, and how to support healthy levels of this hormone. Megan discusses signs and symptoms of low testosterone and seven different lifestyle changes you can make to support optimal levels - before you even consider taking a supplement. We also talk about hormone replacement therapy, who might benefit, and some of the downsides to this strategy. For all the references and a detailed roadmap of everything we discuss, be sure to follow along with Megan's outline for this podcast.  Here's the outline of this episode with Megan Hall: [00:00:24] Testosterone: Why you should care.

One of the best things about doing this podcast for the past seven years has been how our guests have shaped nearly every aspect of my life and the lives of my family. Over the years my wife Julie and I have built an ancestral lifestyle we believe to be most conducive to health, connection, and longevity, largely influenced by the brilliant guests we've interviewed right here. The process has been nothing short of an adventure, and it continues to unfold. On this podcast, I'm joined by my wife, food scientist Julie Kelly to talk about how we've taken everything we've learned about health, wellness, and ancestral living to create a home life that truly supports and sustains our family. We talk about how we eat, prepare meals, and educate our kids and changes we've made over the years. Julie shares the immense value she's derived from a very specific type of psychotherapy, and we discuss how our practice of managing stress has evolved. We also give an update on our adventures in cohousing, and the number one factor that we've learned will make or break cohousing relationships.

Back on the podcast with me today is licensed therapist and certified meditation teacher, Jason Connell. His work focuses on the intersection of evidence-based psychology, philosophy, and enduring insights from the wisdom traditions. His goal is to help his clients develop self-love and self-compassion while solving persistent and challenging problems related to happiness, stress, anxiety, work, relationships, and finding meaning. On this podcast, Jason talks about Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), the approach he uses to foster connection and facilitate positive transformational experiences with his clients. We discuss the goals of this therapeutic method, including the healing of attachment injury, which affects about 50% of the population. You can also listen in as Jason guides me through a short AEDP session right here on the podcast.

Jessica Fern is a psychotherapist, author, public speaker and trauma and relationship expert. She has worked with individuals, couples and people in multiple-partner relationships to overcome reactive communication patterns rooted in insecure attachment and trauma. She is the author of Polysecure, a book that focuses on creating emotionally intimate and securely attached relationships with multiple partners. On this podcast, Jessica talks about attachment theory, what it means to be securely attached, and how insecure attachment could be limiting your relationships. We discuss how to raise securely attached children and how to spot the different forms of insecure attachment. We also discuss polyamory and why the success of consensual non-monogamy hinges on the attachment status of the participants.

Calls to end systemic racial injustice are reverberating throughout the country. That includes around issues of environmental injustice. One of the people in the Milwaukee area guiding organizations and corporations along the path is August Ball. She calls herself an inclusive culture coach. She works to help groups fold inclusivity in and push racism out of their operations. Ball thinks of herself as a facilitator — just one of several hats the Milwaukee resident wears. She serves on both state and local climate task forces. She founded Cream City Conservation & Consulting in 2016 after a decade of working in the conservation field. She says the organization provides young adults paid training and internships in conservation, green infrastructure and public policy. Many of the members are young people of color. Ball says they typically aren't greeted with open arms when transitioning to the real world. "What we’re finding and what we’ve been finding for some time now is that there

Dr. Sue Carter is a Distinguished University Scientist and Rudy Professor Emerita of Biology at Indiana University. A career biologist, Dr Carter has studied the endocrinology of love and social bonds for more than three decades. Her research on pair bonding helped lay the foundation for further work on the behavioural and developmental effects of oxytocin and vasopressin in humans. Recently, she has been examining the role of these neuropeptides in psychiatric and neurological disorders such as autism and depression. In this podcast, Dr Carter discusses the many ways oxytocin is integral to our development, physiological health, and social behaviour. She explains how too much or too little can be detrimental and describes her long-standing concern regarding the consequences of using synthetic oxytocin to induce labour during pregnancy. She talks about some of the recently discovered developmental functions of oxytocin and vasopressin, including muscle and bone synthesis and regeneration, and shares what you can do to increase the oxytocin your body produces naturally.

May 31, 2020 "Mutual Understanding" Acts 2. 1-21 I Corinthians 12. 3b-13 John 7. 37-39 The Rev. Dr. Randolph (Randy) Harry 2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them. 5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” 13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.” Peter Addresses the Crowd 14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’[c] 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. Unity and Diversity in the Body 12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by[c] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”[a] 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

This week we’re doing something a little different, and sharing with you the latest Endurance Planet podcast, hosted by holistic health and endurance sports coach, Tawnee Prazak Gibson, MS, SCSC, CISSN. The episode features Julian Abel, MD, the Director of Compassionate Communities UK, who has been on the podcast before describing the social, financial, and health benefits that come with integrating social support into healthcare. I also participated in this podcast with Tawnee and Julian, and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. On this podcast, the three of us discuss the importance of social connection during this era of physical distancing and uncertainty. Many of us have had our daily routine sufficiently shaken. With this can come feelings of isolation and loneliness, yet it can also yield insight into what truly makes us happy. Julian, Tawnee and I talk about maintaining relationships during this challenging time, as well as reintegrating with others as lockdown mandates are lifted. We also discuss cohousing and alloparenting, and what my family is doing to build a stronger community. Here’s the outline of this interview with Julian Abel and Tawnee Gibson: [00:00:20] Endurance Planet Podcast.

Kristen Hawkes, PhD is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Utah, where she has taught in the Department of Anthropology for over four decades. She is also a collaborative scientist with the Yerkes National Primate Research Center and has authored over 120 scientific publications. She lectures internationally on our grandmothering life history and menopause as a uniquely human evolutionary advantage. On this podcast, Dr. Hawkes discusses the grandmother hypothesis and the environment that likely propelled human evolution. When savanna youngsters couldn’t yet manage to feed themselves, grandmothers were there to help forage,  supporting dependent grandchildren as their own fertility was ending. In the meantime, still-fertile females could invest less in each offspring and have more babies sooner. More robust older females could subsidize more descendants, favouring mutations that enhanced postmenopausal longevity. The research of Dr. Hawkes and her colleagues can help us better understand the critical role of intergenerational support, and how modern individualism has caused us to veer off track.

Recently we’ve had remarkable guests on the podcast highlighting areas of evolutionary mismatch. It’s clear our society has disconnected from real food and good sleep, but we’ve also detoured from what’s optimal in how we congregate, educate, and support one another. We’ve divided ourselves into nuclear families, often leaving our children in the care of strangers so we can go to a job we don’t care about, in order to earn money to pay for our segregated lifestyle. Social isolation has become so common we barely realize the madness of it - until we need help and find that there’s no one nearby. In this interview, I’m joined by my wife, food scientist Julie Kelly to talk about how our society could benefit from a cohousing model, transcending the current paradigm that leaves parents exhausted and young adults unable to afford housing. We discuss our own living situation and that of neighbours and friends, many of whom could benefit from living with others to share resources and skills. We’re in the contemplation stage of actually doing something about this, and would love to hear from you about experiences you’ve had - good or bad! - with cohousing or communal living.  Here’s the outline of this interview with Julie Kelly: [00:00:34] Podcast: Civilized to Death: Are We Really Making Progress? with Christopher Ryan.

Hey there Conversation Designers! Welcome back to the Conversation Factory, Season Three! I've got some amazing interviews lined up for the coming weeks and months and I'm excited to get cracking. Douglas Ferguson is a deep and brilliant facilitator, entrepreneur and technologist. Douglas and I met at the Google Sprint Conference and got to know each other a lot better when he came to NYC to join my Facilitation Masterclass. It's always humbling to see the caliber of leaders who come out the masterclass. Douglas's Innovation Agency, Voltage Control, is hosting a Facilitator Summit in Austin May 23rd and I'm excited that he invited me to do a session on Narrative Models for facilitation. We're also co-hosting a pre-conference Masterclass. I'm really excited about it and I hope you can make it out. Learn more and get tickets here: https://voltagecontrol.co/the-facilitation-master-class-with-daniel-stillman-douglas-ferguson-c827a62d8a71 Douglas and I go deep on Innovation, Co-creation, sprinting and he talks about his journey as a facilitator and how he keeps learning and growing. At minute 19, we dive into why and how diversity helps groups solve problems and towards the midpoint Douglas reveals his facilitator's secret resource: Camp counselor activity books.

Wanna’ Get Science-y? Click Here to get information about the chemical composition, hardness, streak, etc. of this crystal from one of my favorite sites! The staff at my new age shop, Mimosa Books & Gifts, had this to share: Sodalite is for mutual understanding. It increases empathy between speaker and listener. This promotes a more meaningful understanding between people who are trying to communicate. If you have anyone in your life who talks past you, talks over you, or just doesn’t seem to “get” you, sodalite can help make dealing with this person more manageable — possibly even pleasant! It’s also good for lifting the emotional “overlay” in certain conversations that can distort perceptions and make it hard to understand what the other person is getting at. Some people also use it to help prepare for public speaking, and/or give them confidence while giving a speech or presentation. On a more spiritual level, you can also use it to tune in to spirit guides, angels and other non-human guides.

This program was part of the celebrations marking the start of Jewish High Holy Days held at Ohr Kodesh Temple in Chevy Chase. Every year on the Saturday night preceding Rosh Ha-Shanah, they have a late-night service called “Selichot” and this year we had an interfaith panel as part of that service to include speakers from each of the Abrahamic faiths who discussed God’s compassion and forgiveness from each of their faith’s viewpoints.  Speakers: Imam Ali Siddiqui Classically educated Imam, Khatib, Interfaith Leader, organizer, Chaplain, and Advocate for Mutual Understanding and Respect, Peace, Economic Justice, and Humane Immigration with 43 years of interfaith experience working with Jews, Christians, Catholics, Mormons, Quakers, Buddhists, Sikh, and the other faiths in the area of community service.

Since that time he has traveled to Israel many times and been instrumental in creating a dialogue with Jews and Christians, as well as Muslims. In 2006 he and Rabbi Bill Rudolph established a dialogue group between Beth El and Saint Mark including a joint congregations visit to Israel. His most recent trip to Israel was with Interfaith Partners for Peace accompanied by Rabbi Greg Harris of Beth El and Rabbi Batya Glacier of the Jewish Community Relations Council.  Rabbi Lyle Fishman has been the religious leader of Ohr Kodesh Congregation since 1984.

This week’s podcast features two Capital City Records artists, Lindsey Walker, who has her album “Our Glory” is on capitalcityrecords.ca. Lindsey talks about Jesse and the Dandelions and how she loves driving and listening to “Looking at the Sun” along with the whole record “A Mutual Understanding”.   Jesse and the Dandelions is a 4 piece art/space pop band based in Edmonton Alberta, led by Jesse Northey. With Jesse and the Dandelions’ production value through the roof, their new album True Blue (2016) has classic synth and guitar textures that pay respect to the past. You can hear bits and pieces of the 2013 record in the new release.   Since 2011 Lindsey has toured extensively as a solo artist in Canada with half her heart in Alberta, and the other in her hometown of Winnipeg. Lindsey fell in love the band before meeting and getting know Jesse. The Edmonton music scene, which can feel like a big city, is really a small and loving community that has allowed Lindsey to know and love both the band and its leader. Capital City Records Song of the Week is an affiliated member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB.

With a collection of brand new songs in tow, this week on TransCanada Music West, we welcome Jesse and the Dandelions to CKUA’s Performance Space. Jesse began his musical career in Lethbridge.

Drawn to Alberta’s capital by the creative force that was Edmonton’s Old / Ugly recording company, Jesse now calls Edmonton home. If you’re a regular listener to CKUA, you’ve likely heard many of the alt-pop gems on Jesse’s 2013 album, A Mutual Understanding. Jesse and the Dandelions new LP, True Blue, is due out this September.
