Side Projects
I’ve been something of a busy little bee lately. I’ve started a podcast, as a way to try to communicate my thoughts on the idea of good stewardship and to push back against the societal pressure to eradicate the values and world of rural America.
We view the world through the stories in our heads, so it’s time for me to tell some new ones. Or, rather, some old ones as the case may be. In this case, some of the stories I’ve found while exploring my family geneaology. It seems my mother’s family were once members of the Old Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow. Yep. That Sleepy Hollow. There are a few good tales about them, including one by Washington Irving.
Audio editing is enough of a pain, but I’m hoping to make the leap to video at some point, as well. I’m not sure if I’m just going to add footage and still images to the podcast audio, make separate videos on more visual topics, or some combination of the two.
At any rate, check out the podcast, Vintage Americana. Find it on your favorite podcast app or visit vintageamericanapodcast.com. And leave a comment here or there and tell me what stories you’d like to hear.
