For many people, memories are foundational. Even though they exist in the past, they inform who we are in the present and can help us make future decisions. So what happens when something that seems so fundamental turns out to be false?Portland writer Sallie Tisdale deals with some of those themes in an essay she wrote for the Oregon Humanities magazine this summer. She joins us to talk about her latest work, the inconsistencies of memory and what it means to write a good memoir.

This week, Sarah and Amelia get deep. About six feet or so. In an episode that totally isn't a disaster of conflicting tones, we discuss the book Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them) , a very good book that both of us recommend but neither of us necessarily enjoyed. Sarah shares too many work anecdotes that all involve how bad she is with corpses. Amelia revels the least surprising fact about what she wants done with her body after death. We both say a bunch of really correct facts about decomposition. Guys, you GOTTA watch out for the corpse goo. Media discussed:Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them): A Practical Perspective on Death and Dying, by Sallie Tisdale...Disco Elysium but just a little bit I promise

The Lie About the Truck: Survivor, Reality TV, and the Endless Gaze by Sallie Tisdale The author of the acclaimed Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them) brings “her singular sensibility, her genius for language, her love of our deeply imperfect world” (Karen Karbo, author of In Praise of Difficult Women) to this insightful exploration of reality TV and the shifting definitions of truth in America. What is the truth? In a world of fake news and rampant conspiracy theories, the nature of truth has increasingly blurry borders. In this clever and timely cultural commentary, award-winning author Sallie Tisdale tackles this issue by framing it in a familiar way—reality TV, particularly the long-running CBS show Survivor. With humor and in-depth superfan analysis, Tisdale explores the distinction between suspended disbelief and true authenticity both in how we watch shows like Survivor, and in how we perceive the world around us. With her “bold and wise, galvanizing and grounding” (Chloe Caldwell, author of I'll Tell You in Person) writing, Tisdale has created an unputdownable, thoroughly entertaining, and groundbreaking book that we will be talking about for years to come.

Sallie Tisdale is a Zen teacher, writer, and Tricycle contributing editor—and she has seen nearly every season of the award-winning reality TV show Survivor. In her latest book, "The Lie About the Truck: Survivor, Reality TV, and the Endless Gaze" (out October 26), Sallie brings her keen eye and characteristic wit to the series, which she calls “the greatest social experiment on television.” In today's episode of Tricycle Talks, Tricycle's editor-in-chief James Shaheen sits down with Sallie to talk about the dharma lessons of Survivor and what it can teach us about perception, performance, and surviving ourselves.

She published a collection of essays, Violation, in 2015. Her incredible work has appeared in Harper's, Antioch Review, Conjunctions, Threepenny Review, The New Yorker, and Tricycle, among other journals. Tisdale also teaches at Dharma Rain Zen Center in Portland, Oregon.

Sallie Tisdale tells us about a somewhat new role for the Doula, offering comfort at the end of a life.  Come listen.

Dragon on the Couch: The Dragon watched In & Of Itself (Hulu) and highly recommends going in blind to watch it. She also wanted everyone to know she reads (listens) to books and mentioned three morbid corner ones on death and dying: Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, The Art of Dying Well by Katy Butler, and Advice for Future Corpses by Sallie Tisdale. Berto on the Bed: Berto watched the iconic When Harry Met Sally (HBO) and assured us all it is still the movie all rom-coms wish they were. Berto also watched Night Stalker (Netflix) and agreed the docuseries missed the mark.   This week's deep dive is the 1989 buddy cop action movie Tango & Cash (HBO).

Portland writer Sallie Tisdale says finding ways to help others has kept her anxiety about COVID-19 at bay. We hear from Tisdale, author of “Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them)” and part-time registered nurse about how she’s coping with the pandemic and social distancing.

Farewelling founder Karen Bussen and Sallie Tisdale, palliative care nurse, Buddhist, and author of the revolutionary guidebook, “Advice for Future Corpses and Those Who Love Them” speak frankly about how planning for end of life and funeral details is a gift. Sallie gets real about the idea of dying at home, why she doesn’t like the term “death with dignity” and why she thinks it’s crazy that at one of the most singular moments of our human experience, we are so reluctant to give instructions that would help us and our loved ones. Note: this conversation includes suicide, assisted death, and other topics that may be sensitive, so please use discretion if you or someone you’re listening with might find them difficult.If you’d like to hear more from Sallie Tisdale, check out Part 1 of her conversation with Karen here.Sallie Tisdale is an award-winning author of nine books, including “Advice for Future Corpses and Those Who Love Them,”.To read more, visit us at MyFarewelling.com.

Farewelling founder Karen Bussen has a lively conversation with the brilliant Sallie Tisdale, palliative care nurse, Buddhist, and author of the revolutionary guidebook, “Advice for Future Corpses and Those Who Love Them.” Sallie offers her special brand of uplifting straight talk—how to practice accepting help when you need it, how to choose a healthcare proxy badass, leaving emotional baggage behind when a loved one is dying, and what’s on her own surprisingly delightful death-bed playlist (hint: there’s comedy). Sallie Tisdale is an award-winning author of nine books, including Advice for Future Corpses and Those Who Love Them.To read more, visit the Farewelling site.

In Advice for Future Corpses (And Those Who Love Them), writer and palliative care nurse Sallie Tisdale asks what the living can learn by looking death in the eye. By turns philosophical and pragmatic, this is a “book on how to die that is also a blessedly saccharine-free guide for how to live", according to The New York Times, which hailed it as a Top Book of 2018. Sallie shares her insights into death and dying in conversation with ABC Radio Sydney’s James Valentine.

Why is it so hard to say that someone died? We use the terms “passed away”, “departed”, “crossed over”, among others because we can't say died. Sallie Tisdale is a straight shooter. She uses her experience as a writer, a Zen Buddhist, and an RN, to educate about end of life and care of the dead in her book Advice for Future Corpses: A Practical Perspective on Death and Dying Check out today's episode and find out: What the most common fears associated with death and dying are. The impact burial and cremation have on our environment. Things you should know about hospice. Although we didn't discuss this, Sallie mentioned PACE programs. I will do an episode on PACE in the future, but in the meantime, check out the link for more information.

Playful, big-eyed, and highly intelligent, sea lions seem to beg for human attention—except they don't, because they're animals. In the March issue of Harper's Magazine, Sallie Tisdale examines how human intervention—specifically, the construction of massive dams that trap fish and rising ocean temperatures—has led sea lions to make their way to bodies of water they shouldn't be in, specifically the Columbia River in Oregon. Tisdale makes the case that we must guide this population back into balance, or face a population of starving sea lions and environmental collapse. In this episode, Tisdale, author of Advice for Future Corpses and other books, discusses the emotional, economic, and environmental issues that have exacerbated this problem with web editor Violet Lucca.

Mid-winter blues got you down? We've got the remedy for that. Whether its getting outside in the darkest time of year for a European-style light festival, hearing music from one of Portland's premiere Americana stars, or meeting Portland's brand new city commissioner, Chloe Eudaly, this week's show is guaranteed to warm your soul.Chloe Eudaly on Her Big Step from Indie Bookstore Owner to City Commissioner - 1:23Chloe Eudaly started work as Portland’s newest commissioner amid a winter weather event that shut down city offices. In a town wracked by tumultuous gentrification, Eudaly is a single mom, a renter, and an eastsider who beat a much better-funded incumbent. In her first act as Commissioner, Eudaly has put up a proposal requiring landlords to pay relocation costs when tenants are evicted without cause that will go before council on Feb. 2. The Portland Winter Light Festival Shines Away the S.A.D. - 11:08You can stay in and be cozy at this time of year; no one would blame you. But the Portland Winter Lights Festival is giving you a reason to head outside on Feb. 1–4. Now in its second year, the fest fills Portland's waterfront between OMSI and the Zidell Yards with flashing drones, epics projections, other crazy light art and free events to celebrate the spirit of winter and the warmth of community. What It Takes to Design an Iconic Album Cover - 17:32So much goes into the making of a great record, but sometimes it’s the album art that bumps a great record into the realm of the iconic. Think about the collection of famous faces on the front of the Beatles “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” or that baby bobbing in the pool on the cover of Nirvana’s "Nevermind," or that very trippy prism on Pink Floyd’s "Dark Side of the Moon." Portland is home to many artists, and opbmusic welcomed two innovative designers, Orion Landau of the indie metal record label Relapse and Aaron Draplin of Draplin Design Company, into the studio to chat about their careers and which album covers inspire them. PDX Jazz Brings Music and Art to the Classroom - 24:54How do you get kids to understand a musical form that has no rules, no walls? Art can help. Volunteers with PDX Jazz have spent the winter fanning out in metro-area schools, playing music for kids and talking to them about jazz history. Teachers like Katie Robinson at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt then work with the kids on designing jazz album covers. All the students’ work will be part of a Feb. 7 art show at the Ace Hotel's event space, The Cleaners, in Portland. Douglas County Voters Grapple with their Vote to Close the Libraries - 28:39As a kid, do you remember trips to the library? Story time? Or maybe you stop by as an adult to get books and movies or use the computers. Douglas County readers will no longer have that option. In the November election, they failed to pass a measure that would create a special taxing district to fund the libraries, and now all of the branches of the Douglas County Library System, centered around Roseburg, will close by the end of May. Live Music from Americana Chameleon Tony Furtado - 34:46Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tony Furtado is an Americana chameleon. He effortlessly shifts between bluegrass, folk, blues, old time, and rock sounds. It’s a fascinating career arc that was beautifully captured in his most recent release, a live album called “Cider House Sessions” recorded at Portland’s Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider. Writer Sallie Tisdale on Mining the Deeply Personal - 40:31The Portland writer Sallie Tisdale is one of Oregon’s true literary treasures. She’s the author of eight books, including “Talk Dirty to Me” and “Stepping Westward,” but she is first and foremost an essayist — someone who can make art out of her process of trying to make sense of the world. Her latest book, "Violation," is a collection of essays that she wrote over the past three decades.

Author Paolo Bacigalupi warns us about the dangers of magical thinking when it comes to the environment, Ijeoma Oluo tells us why she has hope for the future of race relations, Sallie Tisdale discusses the dangers of writing about your own family, and Liz Vice’s soulful sound lifts our spirits.
