The Stanley Pod

Jack of the Stanley Pod

He's not yet 4 years old, but Jack pack a punch and a hug all at the same time. He loves baseball as much as he loves kumquats. They both require examination followed by enthusiastic explanation. Those of us who live near Jack get to have a front row seat in the Stanley Stadium that is his gorgeous life.

Charlie of the The Stanley Pod

Charlie is wise about a lot of things. She notices bugs as much as she notices how people feel. Her curiosity is what's makes her world keep expanding. Loving Wicked as much as she loves rollerskating is a beautiful balance. She had a whole story about a dog farting in an iPhone movie, but that's for extra special people to ask her about.

Charles of The Stanley Pod

It's mid April 2026. Spring is in the air. Charles has explored this earth for 7 years and everyday he uncovers something new in the world around him -- or he just mines it from his own imagination. His artwork is delicate even when he uses metal sharp objects that tower off the paper. And there's the grubs that just seem to appear, like they have been looking for him just as much as he's been looking for them.

Lulu of The Stanley Pod

Lulu is a chef. At 7 ish years old, she has fed the kings and queens of Stanley ave. Mostly salad and some baked good with lots and lots of frosting. We recorded this while she was making salad, a thing she does after a long day at work. Maybe you'll learn some tips and tricks. Please excuse any moments when words were spoken with audible crunching sounds. It's an etiquette hazard of the job.

James of The Stanley Pod

James, March 12th, 2026. He's in the art room in the back of my house. Snoop is with us. He's a dog that visits with me sometimes. His breathing may catch your ear, as much as the tinkering sounds of what ever James is working on, Our conversation is led my some of my questions. That's not usually the case, but recording us together is a new thing. I'm grateful James is open to this.
