522 - Zen Rahmoun (Millennial Refugee)

Zen Rahmoun is living what may be the story of our age: that of the refugee. Whether triggered by war, climate change, political upheaval, or economic collapse, one in 95 people around the world have been forced to leave their home, resulting in over 82 million refugees. Well over a thousand people drown every year trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea to find a better life in Europe. Zen was almost one of them.

Also, if the frequency of these emails is too much for you, I’ve set up a monthly option, so you’ll just get a summary of what I’ve posted once in a full moon. You can find instructions on how to set that up here.

Intro music “Brightside of the Sun,” by Basin and Range. Outro: “Smoke Alarm,” by Carsie Blanton.

Here’s a charmingly raw rendition of one of my all-time favorite Funkadelic songs, “Can You Get to That?,” covered by Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers in their car. (Don’t miss the photobombing by the guy in the way back.)

525 - ROMA 56

Intro messages from Mike in Washington, Adam in the UK, and a human from an undisclosed location. I discuss a few topics suggested by listeners, including:
“Should I have kids?”
“What about yoga?”
“What’s the deal with asexuality?”
“How has your sense of your personal future changed as you’ve aged?”
Also, what’s the deal with ice machines in hotels? Who’s using all that ice? What are they doing with it?
Here’s the promised link to the discussion thread where you can chime in on these fascinating topics and anything else that moves you.
