Laura put these songs together (with a little help from Bart) to help you know you’re not alone in your concerns and cares, your love of the environment and our Earth, and to hopefully help you relax. This show aired a few days after the United States 2024 election.

0026: Songs of and for the Hurricane-Affected United States (Part 1)
This episode is part one of a series that Bart and I wanted to do in recognition of all those impacted by Hurricane Helene, and those who are being impacted by Hurricane Milton right this minute as the show is being created. We wanted to feature music and musicians, in the United States, in or from affected areas particularly Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. You are in our hearts and thoughts, and we wish you as rapid and complete a recovery as is humanly possible.

0024: Songs of Migration, for the Birds, for the Insects, for the Planet
World Migratory Bird Day is twice a year, in the spring and fall. The next one is October 12th, 2024 and the key message is PROTECT INSECTS, PROTECT BIRDS. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, insects are the most diverse group of organism on the planet, they’re integral to our nutritional systems, their populations appear to be declining significantly around the world and they are especially important to the survival of birds, particularly during migration periods. So this episode is “For the Birds” [and “For the Insects”].
Poem “Respect for Cockroaches” by Laura Chamberlain Dedelow, 2006
