In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Dr. Stormy Hill for a deeply personal conversation about aliveness, intimacy, sensuality, pleasure, and what it means to fully participate in your own life. Stormy shares the unexpected path that took her from medicine to occupational therapy and intimacy coaching, including her son's serious heart condition, the end of her marriage, and her discovery of Tantra and sacred sexuality as pathways toward embodiment, connection, and a more expansive understanding of intimacy.As Stormy approaches her 50th birthday, the conversation turns toward the second half of life, relationships, nervous-system patterns, what she calls “adaptive inertia,” and the ways we can unknowingly adapt to lives that make us smaller. She also shares her recent 85-mile hike around Mont Blanc, her return to writing poetry after nearly 25 years, and why she is shifting her measure of a meaningful life away from achievements and toward awe, creativity, receptivity, pleasure, and the question: what makes you feel most alive?Timestamps:[00:00:03] Welcome to The Observatory Podcast[00:00:18] Introducing Dr. Stormy Hill and the pursuit of aliveness[00:03:43] Expanding intimacy, pleasure, and sensuality beyond the bedroom[00:05:14] Approaching 50 and discovering the common thread of aliveness[00:07:46] Medicine, motherhood, and her son's rare heart condition[00:14:45] Tantra, sacred sexuality, embodiment, and the divine[00:19:18] Growth, the nervous system, and “adaptive inertia”[00:25:08] The second half of life, relationships, and creating what comes next[00:30:08] Turning 50, resilience, and hiking Mont Blanc[00:38:12] One long blink of a life and helping people feel more alive[00:40:02] Keeping score with the wrong scorecard[00:49:24] What makes you feel alive and the practice of intentional participation[00:52:05] Poetry, grief, and rediscovering creative expression[00:58:24] Letting go, receptivity, and making room for what comes next[01:03:29] Living now instead of waiting for laterNotable Quotes:“We are wired for growth, but we are also wired for pattern recognition.” - Dr. Stormy Hill [00:20:26]“We give this one long blink of an eye of a life if we're lucky, and how do we bring aliveness and pleasure and joy to it?” - Dr. Stormy Hill [00:38:14]“I was keeping score with the wrong scorecard.” - Dr. Stormy Hill [00:40:02]“What makes you feel most alive?

New research by RNIB has found that only 13% of visually impaired people surveyed feel their disability benefits actually cover the additional cost of their disability. This research comes at a time where the Personal Independent Payment is under review and so In Touch hears from the RNIB about their research and how they are contributing to this review.To celebrate National Poetry Day, In Touch has brought together two visually impaired poets to discuss the concept of 'non-visual noticing'. A term coined by one of our panel poets Claudine Toutoungi. It is the art of noticing the non-visual aspects of the world as a source of inspiration for poetry. The Blind Poet Dave Steele also joins the discussion and shares some of his work, which often has the theme sight loss and addresses how it can impact you and those around you.Presenter: Peter White Producer & Reporter: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Helen Surtees Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image, wearing a dark green jumper. Above Peter's head is the BBC logo (three individual white squares house each of the three letters).

All week, host Kelly McEvers surfaces some of her favorite episodes from the archive. Here's today's story: One of the many objects that went down with the ship during the sinking of the Titanic was a beautiful, jewel-encrusted edition of a poetry book called the “Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.” The Rubaiyat was probably the most famous work of poetry in the English-speaking world at that time…which was somewhat unusual, as the book was written by a Persian mathematician 800 years before.For more information about Omar Khayyam and the Rubaiyat, check out the books “Persian Presence in Victorian Poetry” by Taher-Kermani Reza, “The Wine of Wisdom: The Life, Poetry and Philosophy of Omar Khayyam” by Mehdi Aminrazavi, and the BBC documentary “The Genius of Omar Khayyam.” PLUS: Do you have a favorite episode we should bring back to the top of the feed?

In this special throwback episode,Nachi Gordon sits down with Rivka Shotkin, a 16 year old from Passaic and the youngest guest in Meaningful People history. On January 31, 2021, a family ski trip in Tannersville ended when Rivka missed a turn on her last run of the day and went straight into a tree, breaking 11 bones, puncturing both lungs, and severing her spinal cord. She walks us through waking up in the ICU nine days later, three months of rehab during COVID without being able to see her family, and landing back in the hospital with septic shock just five days after finally coming home. What makes this one special is how Rivka talks about all of it. She opens up about how unhappy she was before the accident, the strange sense of peace she felt that weekend, why she now calls her injury a gift, and what she wants the community to understand about treating people in wheelchairs. It's funny, honest, and genuinely inspiring.

To the south lay the old cypress swamps, dark glens of rotting wood and sprawling vines. A spur of this unsavory no-man's land ran close along the road, and looking into it one could almost believe, fancied Val, in the legends told by the early French explorers concerning the giant monsters who were supposed to haunt the swamps and wild lands at the mouth of the Mississippi. He would not have been surprised to see a brontosaurus peeking coyly down at him from twenty feet or so of neck. It was just the sort of place any self-respecting brontosaurus would have wallowed in. But at last they won free from that place of cold and dank odors. Passing through Chalmette, they struck the main highway. From then on it was simple enough. St. Bernard Highway led into St. Claude Avenue and that melted into North Rampart street, one of the boundaries of the old French city. This week in Louisiana history. September 25, 1912.

BE HER NOWThe sun is setting over the soft magenta anemoneswith golden centers where the bees drink.And I can't stop wonderingabout where all of this began,this narrative to be more,do more,become more,achieve more,more,more than you are.More.More than you need to be.More.By someone else's standards.More.To the degree that you losewhoever you already were.For a time, of course —whoever you already were can never be lost,because that's all within you anyway.But the narrative of strive and driveand carry the burdens of the ancestors' crimesis too much to ask.The band-tailed pigeons are fluttering in the valley oak,both of them on the watch list right here.I listen to the sound of their wings.And when the ravens come and the squirrels run,how they all communicate together.I can't help but wonderwhere that whole narrative started.Whose grandmother's grandmother's grandmotherfirst had to step out of the matriarchal frameworkinto the dominant framework in order to survive,and how this errant thoughtthat there was something better over there to become.Something better over there to have.Something better than what she had.Something better to achieve,to receive,to compete for.To even ask for,but worst of all,to want for.To want for something other than what there isin one's own self and life and being.Something betterstirring us to look outside of ourselves.And I just can't help but wonderabout those moments in each of our lineageswhen we are striving towards something better,which really makes whatever we have seem somehow less,and us seem somehow less as a result of it.The hummingbird is pausing at the rose,red-trimmed white petals bloomingbeside the golden sun-kissed tomatoesand the mint,the basil.Everything wants to be enjoyed.It doesn't want to be compared.It wants to be appreciated for what it is.The tomato and the rose and the mintdo not have a story of needing moreor being better.They become the fullest versions of themselvesin this sun,in this full moon energy.And I've been writing for days,decades,to articulate the unarticulatable.To share that which I cannot find the words to share.There's a sacred urgencyhumming in my stardust bones.And it's about this:how everything we really need is already here and innate.It's with us.We don't have to earn it.We don't need more.It doesn't need to be better.But the riddle isthat isn't how we experience it,and it's not what we've been taught,and it's not how it feelsin the daily struggles of our lives.And yet there's this sacred unhooking that happenswhen we realize,or just to come from,for a cycleor an afternoonor an houror the length of a poem walking through your heart,that everything that is needed is innate.That there's no place else to get to,nothing more to add,and nothing better to become.And that doesn't mean we don't wishfor a small patch of grassto lay on our back and look at the moon.That doesn't mean we don't wishfor sturdy, solid bootsthat will last for more than one wet winter.That doesn't mean we don't wishfor everything to be organic and sustainable,and the salmon to not be farmed,and the strawberries to not be GMO'd.We do wish for these things,but it's how we internalize them,how we make it mean somehowthat we're something less.Everything I've been moving towardis toward this ideaof revealing ourselves to ourselvesas the ultimate act of sacred sovereignty:to not need more,not be better,not need to be seen and acknowledged.Not need to have a title or a designationor an affirmation by others,but to simply acknowledgethe innate majesty of who we are.And the journey, really,of recovery,of making new promises to ourselves.Not promises about more and better,but promises about being.Not promises about needing to belong somewhere else.Not promises about needing to heal some ancient woundthat happened before we were ever bornthat we're trying to heal this lifetime.And not just to simply be here now either.More likebe her now.Like even for a couple of seconds.Right now.Right now.As the butterfly bush dieswith the purple rain-colored flowers,beckons for a kiss from the passing flutterby,just looking for that connectionthrough the sun and the air.A place to be met within one's self.A space and a placewhere identity just rests in itselfthrough this expression of soulthat has always been here.That is so easily forgotten,not because we forget,but because it is hidden from us.Some gorgeous way to access the truest voicewhich is held within usand set it free from the constraints of silence.Some way to curate this gorgeous consciousness that we areso we can design our own mindsand liberate that self-expressionwhich is begging for form,for matter,for energy equals matter at the speed of lightto become matter at the speed of light.Plus love.Approximately equals the stardust bones that you already arein this cooling sack of stars.Where you can source your own presence enoughto embody your sensuality with more pleasurethan you could ever have imagined belong to you.To manifest the prosperitywhich is in alignment with the generosity of all of creation.Because everything we need has been provided,and it's so hard to remember thatwhen scarcity is enforced.When the morning light came on the pink lady applesand there were enough apples to eat throughout the day.What generosity,what generosity.Prosperity manifested,to see it as suchand love it,to be in love with the apple.To be so in love with the applethat you could spend an afternoonor an houror five minutescatalyzing your calling,not to have or be more or better than,but because it's just innate and natural for youto want to create beauty.Not to save the world,but just to create beautybecause your hands want to,because your heart sees some potential.Not to rescue,but just because it's f***ing beautiful to make beauty.And it's enough.And you are enough,and you know this.You know this deep down in your cells.That you are a sovereign initiateof this cosmic unfolding.That you, like me,are part of an ancient futuristic Stardust Lineage.That we don't need to do anything to become it.We just say yes to it.And then the practice is the lifestyle.A lifestyle of pleasure and beauty and self-expressionwith intentionof continually arriving in the now.Be her now.No permission,no apology,no need to become.Just being for the sake of beingis the beauty unfolding right now,as this poem runs through my bodylike a wild horselooking for a view of the harvest moon.Shiloh Sophia Get full access to Tea with the Muse at

Poet, publisher, and educator Anthony Anaxagorou on treating rejection as part of the job, pushing an idea to its edge without losing the reader, and ending a poem where it can keep travelling — a re-release of episode #012.You'll learn:Why walking away from writing for years doesn't necessarily mean you ever left it.How to treat rejection as part of the job rather than a verdict on your worth.What happens to your work when one stamp of validation starts to feel like an entitlement.How a restless, never-satisfied mind can become a creative engine.A morning listening exercise, borrowed from Lydia Davis, that can hand you the first line of a poem.What to do when you're stuck on a line and the answer is sitting on your bookshelf.Why “accessible” is one of the most loaded words in poetry.How far to push an idea before you lose the reader.Two ways to take a flat, literal line and make it tell the truth slant.Why your poem probably starts later and ends earlier than you think, and what the reader does with the space you leave.Resources & LinksOriginal episode: #012 Anthony Anaxagorou — Push Past Self-Doubt and Think Like a PoetAnthony's websiteHow to Write ItAfter the FormalitiesHeritage AestheticsOut-SpokenOut-Spoken Press“Tell all the truth but tell it slant” by Emily DickinsonAbout Anthony AnaxagorouAnthony Anaxagorou FRSL is a British-born Cypriot poet, fiction writer, essayist, publisher and poetry educator.

Minjun is surprised.Ko: 수진은 그 나무에 다가가 손으로 잎을 만져봅니다.En: Sujin approaches the tree and touches the leaves with her hand.Ko: "이건 분명히 특별해," 수진은 말합니다.En: "This is definitely special," Sujin says.Ko: 두 사람은 그 나무에서 조심스럽게 예쁜 잎들을 모읍니다.En: They carefully collect the beautiful leaves from the tree.Ko: 돌아오는 길에 수진은 민준과 더 많은 대화를 나누게 됩니다.En: On the way back, Sujin finds herself having more conversations with Minjun.Ko: “시를 어떻게 그렇게 잘 써?” 그녀가 물었습니다.En: “How do you write poetry so well?” she asks.Ko: 민준은 미소로 답합니다.En: Minjun responds with a smile.Ko: “자연이 가르쳐줘,” 그는 말합니다.En: “Nature teaches me,” he says.Ko: 수진은 그 대답에 고개를 끄덕입니다.En: Sujin nods at his answer.Ko: 학교로 돌아왔을 때, 그들의 잎 모음은 다른 학생들 사이에서 돋보였습니다.En: When they returned to school, their leaf collection stood out among the other students.Ko: 교사도 감탄합니다.En: Even the teacher was impressed.Ko: "너희가 이길 줄 몰랐어," 친구들이 말했습니다.En: "I didn't expect you to win," their friends said.Ko: 수진은 웃으며 민준을 바라봅니다.En: Sujin smiles and looks at Minjun.Ko: 두 사람은 이제 더 이상 단순한 반 친구가 아닙니다.En: The two are no longer just classmates.Ko: 그날 이후, 수진은 더욱 자신감 있게 변하기 시작했습니다.En: After that day, Sujin began to change, growing more confident.Ko: 친구를 사귀는 것이 얼마나 중요한지 깨달았습니다.En: She realized how important it is to make friends.Ko: 민준의 시는 그녀에게 새로운 세계를 열어 주었습니다.En: Minjun's poetry opened up new worlds for her.Ko: 가을이 지나고 서울숲의 잎들은 사라져도, 그들의 우정은 오래도록 남았습니다.En: Even as autumn passed and the leaves of Seoul Forest disappeared, their friendship remained long-lasting.

#PatrickHueller #author #poetry #education #podcast #FallingInLovewithTeaching #PoetoseInside this episode with your host, Mitch HamptonSometimes on the podcast we have a guest who literally speaks to where we happen to find ourselves today: they at times appear almost like an activist as much whatever else they might do or be. Patrick Hueller is one such guest and this episode is topical and relevant in the greatest senses of those well used words. Patrick's love for and respect for the book and the culture of the book and his commitment to transmitting that to his students made for the best discussion. He speaks about his profession as educator with an urgency and love that match the importance in the world. An accomplished poet with a new book whose subject is teaching, Hueller gives me genuine hope and I relished the enthusiasm which he brought to the episode and I appreciated his generosity in reading his poems. More about Patrick and his inspiring work!Patrick Hueller lives, writes, and teaches in Minnesota. He is the author of several books, many of them aimed at getting kids pumped about reading. These books have been selected for the American Library Association Rainbow Award and School Library Journal's “Accessible Reads for Struggling and Reluctant Readers.” He has a forthcoming collection of short stories, Fake Tattoos (Cornerstone Press). Publicist: Paul Flagg paul@poetose.com Email address for anyone interested in bringing Patrick in to talk at their school: pwhueller@gmail.comMore on Patrick's new book: Falling, in Love with Teaching Falling, in Love with Teaching, by veteran high school English teacher Patrick Hueller, is necessary reading for all those who care about the state of education. At a time when the profession is undergoing an existential crisis, this singular book of narrative poems reminds us of what makes teaching so vital. It's an honest and heartfelt love letter to the calling, a book that belongs in every classroom and on every teacher's reading list. “You, perhaps, didn't know you needed this collection of poems about teaching. But you will fall in and wish to stay here. Patrick Hueller delights in words. His playfulness invites you to linger, to lean in and listen. His economy of language moves at the speed of the school day; and yet, his wisdom keeps you turning over images long after you've closed the book. Buy this for colleagues; hand it to your principal. Share these poems as gifts. Then write your own.” —Penny Kittle, author of Book Love and 180 Days “In Falling, in Love with Teaching, Patrick Hueller demonstrates his remarkable ability to help teachers see ourselves and our students. This collection allowed me to eavesdrop on his classroom for a school year. I laughed, cried, doubted my abilities, wondered what to do when a difficult student was acting up, and ultimately, felt pride. Reading these poems, I remembered why I love teaching.” —Carolyn Holbrook, author of Tell Me Your Names & I Will Testify #teach #education #charterschool #publicschool #charlesdickens #dickens #bleakhouse #test #minnesota #poetry #politics #tolstoy #warandpeace #classics #brecht #childhood #immigration #ice #family #parenting #concentrationcamp #sciencefiction #thegirlwithallthegifts #mikecary #glennclose #zombie #zombieapocalypse #paulofreire #brasil #socialism #capitalism #highschool #college #literature #roalddahl #thewitches #nicholasroeg #angelicahuston #1700s #1800s #1980s #1990s #1970s #sports #thebrotherskaramazov #dostoevsky #democracy #dictatorship

What if you didn't actually lose your childhood imagination, but simply stopped giving yourself permission to use it? Welcome to Follow Your Curiosity! In this episode, I'm joined by Haitian-born poet, educator, publisher, and cultural curator Enzo Silon Surin. Enzo is the author of American Scapegoat and When My Body Was a Clenched Fist, the founder of Central Square Press, and an instructor at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Together, we explore why adults tend to define their creativity away, how modern technology tricks us into consuming other people's lives instead of living our own, and how viewing the world through a "poetic lens" can transform the way we ask questions. In this episode, we discuss: The Dentist Chair Epiphany: Why adults do not lose their imagination, and how we confuse adult responsibility with a lack of creative spark. Consuming vs. Creating: Why we spend hours watching people on screens when we could be having real-world experiences ourselves. The Virtual World Shift: How algorithms and social media comment sections simulate connection while distancing us from reality. Tricking the Inner Critic: Why intentionally making "bad art" bypasses perfectionism and opens the door to genuine play. The Ultimate Reward: How sharing authentic, imperfect creative work helps others feel seen and understood.

Sierra Leone Believes Poetry Is Essential Civic InfrastructureIn this episode we meet Sierra Leone—a poet, educator, activist, and cultural organizer who reminds us that a poem is far more than words on a page. It can become a gathering place, a healing practice, and a way for a community to remember who it is.In this conversation, we explore three central ideas:Presence is a creative discipline. Art begins with showing up, listening deeply, and making space for what has not yet found words.Poetry can become civic infrastructure. A poem can live in a school, gallery, theatre, public square, or gathering of neighbors—not only on the printed page.Belonging is something we make together. Through performance, mentorship, and shared cultural memory, unfamiliar people and art forms can become part of the same nourishing gumbo.Listen for Sierra's journey from “healing producer” to “creative catalyst” to “culture keeper”—and for her conviction that the artist's responsibility is not simply to speak, but to build spaces in which a community can hear and learn from itself.Notable MentionsPeopleSierra Leone — Dayton poet, producer, educator, activist, and interdisciplinary artist; the Kettering Foundation's inaugural artist-in-residence and Dayton's first living poet laureate.[JD1]Sonia Sanchez — Poet, educator, and Black Arts Movement figure whose advice about making time to write opens the conversation.Gwendolyn Brooks — Pulitzer Prize-winning Chicago poet, mentor, and civic literary leader.Amiri Baraka — Poet, playwright, activist, and central theorist of the Black Arts Movement.Haki R.

What can we really know about the world around us and our place within it? On Radio 4's weekly discussion programme, Adam Rutherford is joined by three guests who explore the values that shape our lives and the things that still matter even when they cannot easily be counted, explained or priced.The theoretical physicist and internationally acclaimed writer Carlo Rovelli discusses his new book On the Equality of All Things: Physics and Philosophy (translated by Simon Carnell). Drawing on modern physics and philosophical inquiry, he explores the relationships between minds and matter, ideas and objects, and asks us to reconsider how we understand the world and our place within it.The poet and writer Lavinia Greenlaw has drawn on science in her work. She talks about On Difficulty (and Poetry), her exploration of why difficult experiences, ideas and works of art can be so rewarding. She argues that resistance and complexity are not obstacles to understanding but can open up new ways of seeing and thinking.And the award-winning playwright James Graham discusses The Standard of Living, his new play about the economist John Maynard Keynes. Set amid economic crisis and social change, it asks what makes a good life and whether art, love and human connection might matter more than wealth and power.Producer: Katy Hickman Assistant Producer: Natalia Fernandez

Rissa Miller is a true Renaissance woman. As a folklorist, author, herbalist, diviner, speaker, and poet whose work explores the intersection of history and ritual tradition, Rissa brings dark culture and regional legend into thoughtful contemporary conversation. Her research and storytelling draw on esoteric history, including ghost tales, witchcraft, cryptids, and folklore, and invite audiences to examine how stories of the past shape their present beliefs and experiences. In this conversation, Rissa helps us explore societal expectations placed on women's emotions—especially anger—and how suppressing those feelings can affect mental and physical health. Rissa shares personal stories and insights into female empowerment, and discusses the importance of rituals that help process difficult emotions. Tune in for honest reflections, myth-busting about women's anger, inspiration to embrace every part of your emotional journey, and a soul-stirring poem at the end from her new poetry book, Goodnight Poet.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Lysis, focused on the nature of love and friendship This lecture focuses specifically on some of the points made in the beginning of the dialogue, where Socrates tells Hippothales that he can tell that he is deeply in love with somebody. Ctesippus reveals this to be Lysis, and tells Socrates that not only does Hippothales constantly talk about Lysis, he is also composing poems and speeches to and about Lysis, which he then subjects his friends to. Socrates says that what he is really interested in with these speeches is their sense (dianoia), and he suggests to Hippothales that although his compositions don't refer to himself, he is really focusing on himself in them. If he succeeds in winning Lysis' affection, it looks like a triumph for him, but if he fails, he will appear ridiculous. There's also the danger of inflating Lysis' self-conception and making him more difficult to catch.

In 1699, eighteen years after La Salle had demonstrated the connection of the Mississippi with the Gulf of Mexico, by passing out at its mouth, Iberville succeeded in entering it from the Gulf. Ascending as far as the junction of Red River, he returned, and proceeded, by way of the Gulf, into Lake Pontchartrain. He formed a settlement and erected a fort, at Biloxi, which he left under the command of his brother Bienville, while he returned to France, to induce others to join the colony. Soon after he left, the new commander ascended the Mississippi as far as the present site of New Orleans. In returning, he met a British vessel of sixteen guns, under the command of Capt. Bard, who enquired the bearings of the great river, intimating that it was his intention to establish a colony upon its banks. Bienville, in reply, directed him to go farther west, and thus induced him to turn about; from which circumstance, the place of their meeting was called “The English Turn,” a name which it retains to this day.

Stewart T. Monti has lived several lives within one journey—Air Force Major, C-130E pilot, university instructor, poet and now historical-fiction author.Tonight on Vigilantes Radio Live, Coach Dini sits down with Stewart for a story-driven conversation exploring the experiences behind his writing and the connected medieval worlds of Mary and Sir Edward and Hillary and Sir Edward.In Mary and Sir Edward, twelve-year-old Mary finds herself protecting a wounded knight carrying information that could stop a traitor's plot. With no army and no sword, she must rely on courage, intelligence and quick thinking to survive.A generation later, Hillary and Sir Edward follows Mary's thirteen-year-old daughter—a gifted horsewoman, chess player and swordswoman confronting a different battle: whether a girl in 12th-century England can step into a role society never intended her to occupy.Together, the stories raise questions that extend far beyond medieval England.What happens when ability collides with expectation?How does one generation's courage change what becomes possible for the next?And who gets to decide what another person is capable of becoming?Stewart also reflects on growing up in a military family, attending the United States Air Force Academy, flying C-130Es around the world, retiring as a Major, becoming an educator and eventually transforming poetry into an expanding fictional universe.Two generations.Two different battles.One enduring message:Never allow the limits of the world around you to become the limits you place on yourself.Welcome to The Frequency of the Fearless—No Surface Talk.Hillary and Sir Edward:https://www.amazon.com/Hillary-Sir-Edward-Stewart-Monti-ebook/dp/B0GP9FKGRCMary and Sir Edward:https://www.amazon.com/Mary-Sir-Edward-Medieval-Narrative-ebook/dp/B0GX2WQCSBBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2026Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com

Larry Lamb joins Gyles for a really unique episode of Rosebud. For the past few years, Larry has been telling the story of his life in poetry, and that's what you'll hear in this edition, interwoven with a Rosebud conversation about his early memories and upbringing. Larry's poetry is original, powerful and has a rhythmic punch which takes you right into the turbulence of his childhood: he was born into a loveless marriage and spent years watching his parents argue, and when he was only nine years old his mother left the family home never to return. This trauma left a lasting mark on Larry, and through poetry he has begun to make sense of the legacy of his past. This is a fabulous episode which we hope will move and inspire you. It was recorded at the Fleet Festival of Words earlier this year. Larry is appearing at the Queen's Reading Room Festival at Chatsworth this weekend. Our thanks and admiration to Larry Lamb for this tour de force. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
