Shake Some Dust: an American Expatriate Traveling in America

Second Guessing Myself

With the big story written and turned in, I’ve been going through some creative withdrawals and feeling a little lost. I find myself in the pine forests of Montana and historical 19th Century towns. Here I have gotten a chance to get my bearings again and ask questions about why I’m doing this and what comes next. Enjoy!

Ep. 32 Why the Desert Sucks

This episode talks about what I’ve been up to for the last six or seven months. Jeez…has it been that long?

Episode 33: Town Hall Meeting Aftermath: The Widening Gap Between Rural and Urban America

In this episode I talk about what I learned from a Town Hall meeting in Walden, CO where Sen. John Hickenlooper was the guest speaker and answered questions the locals had for him. One surprising thing about all of it was how little the Wolf debate entered the conversation, except to exemplify the rift between rural and urban, and how the will of the Cities is dictating the lives of the people in rural areas. The comments and observations expressed in this podcast are my own and subject to scrutiny.  My comments are in no way meant to malign or slander anyone mentioned in the podcast.
