Celebrating Geographical Imaginations: Radio Expeditions into the Geographies of Everything and Nothing’s 50th episode we revisit the concept for the show and take a look back at all of the different questions, themes and collaborators that brought us here to this point over four years later. If you are a new listener, this is a great departure point as each and every radio expedition is highlighted and summarized.
For the opener of Season Five, we are joined by Phil Cousineau, the award-winning author of The Art of Pilgrimage. In a wide-ranging “long conversation” we discuss how to make travel meaningful and sacred. Along the way we unpack the tourist gaze and consider how mentors and words can open pathways to finding the pilgrim’s mood.
In EPISODE FORTY EIGHT we are joined again by geographer Johnny Finn (from EPISODE THIRTY TWO). Rounding out our three-episode on-the-ground fieldwork series on the crocodile-shaped island of Cuba, we discuss health care, Fidel, José Martí, memorialization, béisbol and literacy.
In our second episode from fieldwork in Cuba we sit down with “Song Maker” Enid Rosales and discuss her two albums (Brisa Pasajera and Dentro de Mí), her listeners in Cuba and beyond, the Nueva Trova genre, the Buena Vista Social Club effect, Celia Cruz and what it means to be an “hacedora de canciones.”
With EPISODE FORTY SIX we start a series of episodes made while conducting fieldwork in Cuba in Spring 2018. In Puentes we sit down with don Jose Poveda–poet, philosopher, man of letters and of faith–in this wide ranging discussion of his poetry, travel from Cuba to Russia, and his work as interpreter to Russian technical advisers working in Cuban industry. This episode is in Spanish.
