Woo-hee! finally, we cover some real ground. Back on the Inconvenience, the Chums are bickering and splitting within themselves, while here on land our own crew are becoming "frazzled" in their own way. It seems such polarization can only be expected as we reach the end of Part One, but stay tuned through this analysis for the announcement of our thrilling conclusory episode of The Light Over the Ranges.If you like what we're doing and want to support the show, please consider making a donation on Ko-Fi.

This week in Mapping the Zone: Movement appears stalled. Not only do we remain with the Traverse household, but the only motion to be found is that of the mind. Kit begins to fathom the depth of Vectorism through the primal texts of electicity, and who is to find his talents but Nikola Tesla? It turns out, the understudy-in-perpetuity to Vibe, Foley Walker. The Earth may be striving to destroy our schedule, but the intrepids of this show shall not rest until we've ridden lightning through its heart.We had planned on covering Chapters 9-10 in this episode, but by the time we were done recording, we had around 5 1/2 hours of audio, so the decision was made to split it into two episodes. As such, this episode ends with our discussion of Chapter 9—quotes, "Most 'Pynchon' Part" and details about our Part One wrap-up episode will be at the end of the Chapter 10 episode in two weeks.If you like what we're doing and want to support the show, please consider making a donation on Ko-Fi.

Grian A. Cutanda has a PhD in Social Education from the University of Granada (Spain) and a Degree in Psychology from the University of Valencia. He is an author of fiction and essay, with 16 books published, some of them translated into 12 languages, and a number of academic papers and chapters at the request of various universities. To highlight his international bestseller The Gardener, published in English by Thorsons (HarperCollins) in 1998. Social and environmental activist, Grian has been an organiser and coordinator in different fields within social movements such as the Indignados Movement in Spain, forerunner of the Occupy Movement in 2011; the People's Climate March in 2014 and the subsequent 2015 climate campaign in Edinburgh (Scotland); and Extinction Rebellion, as co-founder of XR Spain and regional liaison for Latin America in XR International. The impact of his environmental activism reached an international level with a documentary screened at the Royal Anthropological Institute Film Festival, The Earth Stories Collection, or How to End Modernism Once and for All (Cutanda, Kendall & Borecky, 2021) and when, in September 2021, he held a 33-day hunger strike as part of the Global Earth Fast campaign organised by Extinction Rebellion from the UK. This made him, along with Karen Killeen, the activist who held his hunger strike against climate change the longest in the world. Founder of the Avalon Project – Initiative for a Culture of Peace, Grian has been linked to the University of Granada as a researcher. His main research led to the creation of The Earth Stories Collection, a global bank of worldwide traditional stories capable to transmit an ecocentric and systemic worldview, illustrating the different principles and fragments of the Earth Charter. In this line, he is also working, with the partnership of the Earth Charter Secretariat at the United Nations' University for Peace and the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, on spreading these stories through the creation of a global network of storytelling activists, Earth Story Tellers.

In episode 180, Dan and Michael chat with Anna Falkner and Katherina Payne about their publication in Theory & Research in Social Education titled, ““Courage to take on the bull”: Cultural citizenship in fifth-grade social studies.”

Wendy Dijs was born in 1979 in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. Her parents were both artists and lived a very comfortable life in a country that was democratic, took good care of its citizens and also supported the arts. She was only five years old, when her family decided to go on an adventure and take a trip to the Pyrenees. After crossing France, Wendy's parents saw a tiny village in the distance and decided to try and get there on foot. They parked their car and told her they would be back in an hour. But having grown up in the Netherlands, their concept of distance worked in straight lines, not valleys and mountains. By the time they got back to the car, hours had passed. Meanwhile, Wendy had decided to have her own adventure and had scrambled onto a cliff to watch the sunset. Little did she know that this small abandoned village her parents had just discovered in the foothills of the Spanish Pyrenees, would soon become her home.  Unprepared for the mountains and with the notion that ‘it is always warm in Spain', her parents picked up and left the comfortable Netherlands to move to Tercui. Their first winter was spent burning their own furniture and doors in order to stay warm. A local shepherd felt pity for them and gave Wendy's family permission to use a large dead tree on his property. Despite the initial challenges, Wendy has beautiful memories playing in the snow, roaming around the mountains and feeling a sense of freedom and peace that shaped her life. The deep silence of this tiny abandoned village taught her at a young age to be with herself. Wendy describes her childhood as ‘serene'. Originally, her parents had planned on staying in Tercui for one year. It was like an experiment. They wanted to isolate themselves, focus on their art and live in the mountains. By the time they were finally established, it made sense to stay longer. One year turned into two years, two years into three years, and three years into eleven years. Occasional trips to the Netherlands to visit friends and family, bring back books and records helped break up long stretches of being isolated. But being isolated also forced Wendy's parents to be with themselves and each other without any distractions. They started having more fights and their relationship eventually grew apart. At age eleven, Wendy and her mom moved to Reus in Tarragona, a coastal town with lots of life, diversity and opportunities. She made new friends, learned new languages and, at age twenty-four, traveled to India. Today, Wendy and her boyfriend live in Barcelona. She has a degree in Social Education and currently works with teenagers who struggle with the formal educational systems.

Heard Tell for Wednesday, February 17th, 2022 is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need about the developing crisis in Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin announces that Russia will "recognize" two regions of Ukraine as independent and send in "peacekeepers" that are anything but. We talk the background, how this is an invasion of Ukraine under pretense, how world leaders are responding, and how the usual paradigms of foreign policy and politics don't apply to what Putin is doing here. Also, former president Trump's long promised social media platform Truth Social became available over the President's Day holiday, but not everything went according to plan. We skip the caterwauling and cover how recent history and examples should make everyone very skeptical of Truth Social's staying power and success. Guest Kenneth Schrupp of Young Voices joins us to discussion education in America, education funding, school choice, means testing education savings accounts, and how the students stuck at the poorest performing schools don't have a chance with the status quo going unchanged. We also talk about how the education dynamic is changing post-COVID, online school, charter schools, privates schools, and misunderstandings about the true cost of public education.
