Walking With Poets was an SPL project that looked at an old subject, nature, using new media. We put four poets – Sue Butler, Mandy Haggith, Jean Atkin and Gerry Loose – into Scotland's botanic gardens. For this special podcast, we interviewed each of the poets in their garden.

In the film One Life, Anthony Hopkins plays Nicholas Winton, who rescued over 600 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Prague by sending them on what became known as the Kindertransport. For this podcast, Rosie Dawson welcomes two people who knew Nicholas Winton personally: Rabbi Jonathan Romain from Maidenhead synagogue in Berkshire, and Lord Alf Dubs, who was himself a Kindertransport child and campaigns for the rights of unaccompanied child refugees. Together with Sue Butler from Welcome Churches, a network committed to welcoming refugees and asylum seekers, they discuss what lessons the story of Nicholas Winton holds for us today.

This summer's major SPL project was Walking With Poets. What was it? It looked at an old subject, one of the oldest, nature, using new media. It provided poets, readers and visitors to Scotland’s botanic gardens with a fresh way to engage with the environment and writing about it. We put four poets - Sue Butler, Mandy Haggith, Jean Atkin and Gerry Loose - in Scotland's botanic gardens. For this special podcast, we interviewed each of the poets in their garden and asked them to read poems inspired by their residencies.

Portland, Ore. – The US Grand Prix of Cyclocross made the last stop of the tour last weekend for the Stanley Portland Cup. Mostly dry ground was found Saturday at the Portland International Raceway but Sunday it poured, especially the hour before the Elite Women’s race. Katerina Nash took both Sunday’s race and the 2008 USGP Championship Trophy while local heroine Sue Butler was cheered to a third place finish and the Sram “Most Aggressive Female Rider” award. Ryan Trebon of Bend took that $250 prize home and won the day’s race. Tim Johnson claimed the series trophy. I took home a pair of very wet and muddy boots, some videotape, and inspiration for the song “Head Down”, which is the score for this video. Eric Todd Keeney provided additional footage. http://crankmychain.com http://usgpcyclocross.com http://erictoddkeeney.com

Portland, Oregon - Apparently the Halloween Races in Astoria was not enough insanity for this years Cross Crusaders. After some excellent traditional cyclocross racing at Portland International Raceway the bike-fun crowd went wild for single speed. Thousands of spectators watched as Sue Butler took away honors for the womens A racers and the prize for unofficial womens single speed world champion. Mens SSCXWC honors were awarded to Drew MacKenzie who hails from the Great White North. Prizes included a Vanilla SpeedVagen, a Pereira Cycles custom frame not to mention gold Speedos and required championship tatoos. Also, Raleigh Rainier frame went to the Sit-Up Champ. Special mention goes to Ryan Trebon of Bend who won the mens A race, and the regular single speed race.

The song Steam Powered was written especially for this race. Music and Video by Dan Kaufman for http://crankmychain.com and http://www.bobsredmill.com http://crosscrusade.com http://sscxwc.com
