In this episode we explore a very rare piece of work by Raymond Carver, his one-act play "Carnations". Our special guest was a fellow student, friend, and actor involved with the writing and production of this "forgotten" play in Arcata, California in 1962.

Urban planning nerds rejoice! Here is an episode for you.

Humboldt is seeming a bit more crowded as of late. Whether it is climate refugees burned out of their homes or folks freed to move to the redwoods because of lax telework options, Humboldt’s housing market has been white hot. If people are coming, how do we ensure that we have enough housing for those who are looking to join our community (and how we do have enough having for those of us who want to stick around)?

As part of Arcata’s strategic infill development planning, the city is giving a hard look at the future of the “Gateway Area” — that area of already-developed land west of K Street. City planner Delores Freitas joins Gang Green to talk about the city’s planning process and how citizens can participate in long-term planning.

In this special episode, I present a talk that was given in 1995 by my first Zen Teacher, Seisho Maylie Scott, Roshi.

I first met Maylie in 1991 when I went to a meeting of the Zen Group there, where I lived for some years during that period. She speaks here in this talk of one of her teachers, Maureen Stewart, who she had become rather close to before Maureen passed away in 1990.

I've until this day, not encountered another teacher who could so eloquently transmit the teachings of Zen Buddhism, and bring light the profound paradoxes of life in the way she was able to.

I saw her as a clear vessel of the deeper "Truths" that can sometimes arrive. Her only agenda seemed to be at attempting to help clear things up a bit for those who came to listen to her and sit.

Cyber Camel is the electro-rock solo project of Portland, OR based musician Niko Daoussis, aka Niko Slice. Here, Niko (who's also a band member of Shook Twins) talks about his influences from Leadbelly to Katy Perry, his very first gig sitting in with a blues band at an LA club at the tender age of 13, and his fantasy of someday incorporating an epic pillow fight into a performance. www.cybercamelmusic.com
