Binnie Klein is a Renaissance woman. At 74 she has reinvented her life time and again, from poet to psychotherapist to memoirist to songwriter, with several steps in between. She picked up boxing as a sport when she was 55. The red gloves in the corner of the gym caught her eye, and a memoir followed in 2010. A surprise phone call in 2016 triggered memories of a long-ago love, heartbreak, and the radical politics of the 1960s. A six-part audio memoir ensued. In this episode, she talks with host Jane Trombley about creativity being the “sustaining thing,” the essential “nutrient” for her well-being.Binnie started writing poetry at age eight. Childhood piano lessons laid the foundation for playing the music of the 60s on a hand-me-down guitar. In her 20s her poetry won awards and fed into her interest in becoming a psychotherapist. She has maintained a private psychotherapy practice since 1984, Binnie began a music and interview show on FM radio (WPKN, Bridgeport Connecticut, WPKN.org) in 1975. She's been a DJ there ever since. A few years ago, a 30-something Australian songwriter sent her some material requesting airplay. They started collaborating with Binnie's poetry and released an album, Quiver, in 2024. What's next? There is a lot in the pot. Have a listen. P.S. Exciting News: Binnie invites you to the In These Trees and Tartie listening party April 27, 2025, at 6 PM/Eastern, celebrating their musical collaboration and debut CD. Binnie (AKA In These Trees) will be in a live chat from Connecticut, with Tartie (Tash Anderson) from Australia! To attend this FREE event, RSVP here. Downloads and CDs are available.

We also talk about how this film encapsulates family, love and strength. Lastly, we finish the interview with the Fatherhood Quick Five. About Kevin Patrick Allen Kevin Patrick Allen is a veteran journalist turned documentary filmmaker. He's been recognized for his research, his eye for identifying the unique qualities in characters and stories and his prioritization of critical thinking and empathy. His films have influenced federal legislation, earned praise from mental health professionals and encouraged resilience-building in communities large and small. He's earned honors coast to coast from organizations including the California Associated Press Radio-Television Association, NorCal RTNDA, the New York International News Festival and the Chesapeake AP Broadcasters Association. About Eric Frith Working in both non-fiction and fiction, Eric Frith's Emmy Award storytelling has appeared everywhere. Hid work is on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV. It has been distributed by Miramax and heralded as "an Oscar level piece of work" by film critics Ebert and Roeper.

His films have screened at top festivals: Sundance, Toronto, SXSW, Tribeca, SIFF and literally hundreds of others around the world. About Beneath the Shadow Jim Tyrer is known in football circles as the greatest player not in the Professional Football Hall of Fame. He's also known as the man who inexplicably killed his wife and himself. For Tina, Brad, Stef and Jason, he's remembered simply as “Dad”—even though he left them orphans with a tarnished legacy when he murdered their mom before killing himself. Beneath the Shadow follows the children from their idyllic early lives to the night of the crime. In addition, you see decades into the future as they refused to succumb to despair and anger. That is because of the grandparents (parents to Martha). They raised them to forgive and move forward—with or without answers. Grandpa and Grandma Cline moved into the room where the murder/suicide took place. They raised the children and refused to disparage their son-in-law, Jim. The children excelled. Still, any understanding of the tragedy would elude them for decades. Make sure you follow Kevin on Instagram over at @kevpatrickallen. Go to the kppllc.net to learn more about Beneath the Shadow.

Send us a textHave you ever asked whether your life story is about you or part of something greater? As we kick off the third season of "The Bright Forever," we hope to illuminate the transformative power of viewing our lives as part of Jesus's grand narrative. We look at how this simple song speaks volumes and reminds us sweetness found in the precious story of our Savior. This episode takes you on a journey through the heartfelt history of the classic hymn "Tell Me the Story of Jesus," crafted by Fanny Crosby and John Sweney. We explore their commitment to Christian education and ministry, highlighting their work in communities and the lasting impact of their hymn, which even offered solace during the tumultuous days of World War I. Through Crosby's personal challenges and her legacy of love and encouragement, we find inspiration in the stories behind these timeless hymns and their profound impact on faith and life. Join us to celebrate the role of hymns in rediscovering Jesus's narrative in our lives.SHOW LINKS:“Tell Me the Story of Jesus” performed by Kingdom Heirs from their album Red Book Volume 1 © 2006 Sonlite Records Original publishing from The Quiver of Sacred Song 1880 (image provided by The Hymnology Archive)Support the show www.thebrightforever.comAll songs used by permission.

Interview with Binnie Klein of In These Trees and Tartie In These Trees is an alternative indie music project led by Binnie Klein. Klein's lyrical stories are suffused with human longing and memory, and pair gracefully with soulful melodies from the artists who perform her work. With her extensive background in music as a radio DJ and a career in writing, Klein seeks to elevate her words through collaboration with rising artists. "Orchard" is her premier single inspired by her audio memoir, 10 Days in Newark, with music by Australian artist, Tartie. In These Trees and Tartie now have 5 singles out (Orchard, Sky, Ocean, Quiver, Hailstorm, and Ablaze). The album, THE QUIVER, is planned for November 2023. As a long-time DJ at free-form radio station WPKN, Binnie receives many promotional CD's from hopeful artists. She tries to listen to most of them, just in case there is a gem that will fit with her show's eclectic mix. When Australian singer/songwriter Tartie sent a few tunes, Binnie chose “Winter's Girl” to play on her show. The two women, decades apart in age, began to chat on Zoom — about dogs, about music, about politics, finding a wonderful symmetry. Binnie encouraged Tartie to finish up a rough mix of “Ablaze,” about the Australian wildfires, and asked if Tartie might take a look at some lyrics. “Orchard” emerged from that question, and a great geographic distance, and a pandemic — the song, and many others -- began to take shape, with help from producer David Baron of Sun Mountain Studios. https://www.inthesetrees.com
