Ep. #224: Curiosity, Community Radio & Choosing to Trust, with Katya Gordon
Author, journalist, sailor and community radio host Katya Gordon says radio pulls together everything she believes in: a shared purpose, old fashioned connection to one another, a vast array of differing ideas and priorities, and plain old hard work and commitment. We had a lovely and candid conversation about curiosity, spirituality, our many media biases, and the power in choosing to trust. Get to know Katya Gordon through Amicus Adventure Sailing, which she owns and operates with her husband: https://amicusadventuresailing.com/credentials Check out KTWH 99.5 FM, Two Harbors Community Radio: https://ktwh.org Theme music by Sean Balick; “Temporal Slip" by CloudBreaker, via Blue Dot Sessions.

Ep. #226: Foraging: Curiosity & Dancing with Nature, with Tama Matsuoka Wong
I’ve been thinking that foraging – going from place to place looking for things one can eat – is a lot like the sampling and prioritizing of information gathering that neuroscientists are studying, just applied to things many of us readily dismiss as "weeds". Tama Matsuoka Wong is a finance lawyer turned professional forager. She got curious about the “weeds” around her when she moved to a fixer-upper house in northern New Jersey. She started to see them and their ecosystem differently. Now she forages for high-end chefs in Manhattan and is an advocate for thoughtful stewardship of what's naturally all around us. That struck me as a curiosity conversation worth having.
