0129: Back to the Ocean
We have to go back to the ocean quite frequently because it’s such a source of inspiration for so many artists. We’ve got so many fresh releases to share with you, we can’t even fit them all in.
0128: Mysterious Mycelium
Laura Dedelow presents Mysterious Mycelium, dedicated to mycelium, mushrooms & all fungi, exploring the fungi above ground plus the mycelium working behind the scenes underneath.

There’s no place like Earth, and we’ve got the music to prove it. Ten songs (and one field recording) that celebrate the uniqueness of Planet Earth.
0126: Songs of the Fall Equinox
This show is dedicated to the Northern Hemisphere’s turning from Summer to Autumn and the Autumnal Equinox.
0125: Our Planetary Home
Dedicated to the memory of singer-songwriter Russ Arlotta, Episode 0125 — “Our Planetary Home” — follows the word, the concept, and the longing on a winding path from the rocky tip of Cornwall to the coast of Senegal, from the plains of Venezuela to the vast skies of Hawaii.
0124: Sounds of Fire & Water
As floods inundate and wildfires consume a planet that seems to be running a fever, we move through multiple spiritual traditions to confront the twin elemental forces reshaping our world, from Jamaican rocksteady to Haitian Voudou, from Celtic flame to Hawaiian volcano.
0123: Our Hunger for Land
From the machine-haunted fields of County Cork to the drought-stricken soil of Buenos Aires, “Our Hunger for Land” assembles thirteen artists in a global meditation on humanity’s relationship to the earth we plant, plunder, mourn, and revere.
0122: Will o’ the Wetlands
From the peat bogs of Australia to the bayous of Louisiana and the fog-haunted folklore of the Old World, Episode 0122 — “Will o’ the Wetlands” — wades deep into the music, mystery, and teeming life of the world’s most liminal landscapes.
0121: Cicada Buzz
Host Bart Everson presents “Cicada Buzz” — an episode years in the making, sparked by a tip from a loyal listener and opening with a miraculous gift: the brand-new single from Dead Can Dance, whose mythology of the cicada leads straight back to the Muses themselves.
0120: Precipitous Precipitation (Summer Edition)
Host Laura Dedelow, still slightly damp from a real Indiana deluge, celebrates summer precipitation in all its forms — rain, heat lightning, hail, and even virga — threading a field recording by Bart Everson through an hour that moves from London indie-pop through Kentucky country and deep into the gospel and R&B soul of New Orleans.
