Meet our new pal, Michael; a multi talented, self-educated sawyer, arborist and man of the people. I sat with him (outdoors and at a safe distance, of course) at the unparalleled O2 Artisans Aggregate in West Oakland to talk about trees, hard work, community, the government, and more. Share with friends!

My own death and a chemically induced peek into the void are not the only topics on my mind. I was gifted with a unique perspective enhancing experience which sang to me with a mix of hope, bravery, kindness and enormous heaps of sadness; my visit to the cardiac surgery wing of the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in San Francisco.

A broken wrist couldn’t stop this guy from pretending he could play piano; what’s your excuse, bro?
No matter how many times we save Pelé’s life, he’s always a little nervous we might leave him behind with a stranger. If we had done that, he’d be in good company with this character.
Here’s a little episode about “Self-help”. I read an article (with the author’s permission of course) by Kyle Thiermann about the book, “Atomic Habits”. Amazingly, it isn’t about microscopic nuns, but rather about getting your shit together, one minuscule step at a time. I also read you a letter from our pal in Alaska, Nate Atwood. Nate is in deep prep-mode for the Alaskan winter, all while battling the effects of 30 years of undiagnosed Lyme’s disease. Come for the stories, stay for the music, and learn how to get any horrible jingle out of your head with a simple trick I’ve been using for decades! Share and enjoy!

In this smoke filled episode, we read a couple of letters from previous podcast guests, Joel Solomon and Bill Gilbert. Bill lives in Beirut, Lebanon, and works in the US embassy there. Joel Solomon lives in British Columbia, and works to revolutionize how wealth is invested. We also talk about what's happening with us (Tiff, Andrew & Pelé), and we share some music from Elvis Perkins' new album, "Creation Myths". Tune in for great stories, good music, and a little bit of that sweet ol' ramblin!

As Pliny the Elder never said, “To live is to ramble!” Dr. Uncle Chris Ryan stopped by our temporary home in Larkspur for a visit; before he left, we took a little time to record this delightful free-form conversation. Pelé and I might technically be the guests in this one, but you get lots of Chris here as well! If you somehow know who we are and don't know who Chris is, well, I don't know how that happened. However, I recommend you take a moment to check out his fantastic podcast, Tangentially Speaking, or one of his books - Civilized to Death, or Sex at Dawn.

Sister Peggy O’Neil has lived in El Salvador for the past 35 years, having moved there to be of service to the poor during their devastating 12-year civil war. We stayed with Peggy at the “Centro Arte para la Paz” (Center for Art through Peace) where we talked about her life as a friend of the poor, a feminist role model, a shoulder to lean on, and an absolute hero of human solidarity. We are so fortunate to be able to bring you this incredible story, told by the youngest 81-year old we know!
