Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 111 – Part 1 of a conversation about poetry and art and life with @willbrown

A good conversation tonight. I spent a while having a conversation with Will Brown from Cloudy Day Art. If you don’t know Will, you need to explore his site, or the history from the Slam Idol Podcast. We took the opportunity to have a good lunch, some coffee, and a conversation about his work and the nature of poetry and art.

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 110 – What happens when change looks a lot like order?

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about the position I have in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Somerset Hills. I had a lesson this weekend though in what it means to live the change that we want to see. Unfortunately, this week’s example? It’s an example of being orderly, organised, rule-oriented in order to achieve that change… I am getting old.

Halfway through #napodpomo…

I’ve decided to participate in National PodCast Post Month again this year. But, what to do? What can I produce every day that will be compelling, cover the concept of living the change we want to see, and be doable? I decided on performing a poem a day. Nothing like small snippets of art to help us all learn how to live the change we want to see. I’m attaching the links to the first 14 poems (yes, I missed a day).

1. Cheerfulness Taught by Reason from Elizabeth Barrett Browning
2. Have You Ever by Brad P. from NJ
3. the Cambridge ladies who live in furnished souls by ee cummings
4. The Flea by John Donne
5. To George Sand: A Desire by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
6. To the Unnamed Wife & Typewriters by Brad P. from NJ
7. Portrait of a Lady by William Carlos Williams
8. Jerusalem by William Blake
9. Sonnet 43 from Sonnets from the Portugese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
10. Poetry by Marianne Moore
11. Trees by Joyce Kilmer
12. Twas the Night Before #fdasm by @ellenhoenig
13. Lines Written in Early Spring by William Wordsworth

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 109 – The haiku form and what I like about it.

More on National PodCast Post Month tonight. This year, I’ve chosen to share a poem a day. I discuss that form I’ve enjoyed writing, the haikus that Chris Cavs is worrying demonstrate that I’m cracking up. I get into some of the history of haikus, some of it I think I may even have made up. Well, subscribe to the feed and find out what a month’s worth of poetry sounds like.

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 108 – NaPodPoMo and art as a goal of change…

National PodCast Post Month has begun. This year, I’ve chosen to share a poem a day. Okay, what does poetry have to do with living the change? Yeah, Chris Cavs is already hassling me about haikus with butterflies, but poetry is something I live as an example of *why* I live the change. Life is more than protests and getting up in somebody’s face. It’s not always puppy dogs and rainbows, but art has its place, too. Well, subscribe to the feed and find out what a month’s worth of poetry sounds like.

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 107 – Change is hard… but it’s worth it…

A week of "vacation"? How is it that I can be so exhausted after that? Am I doing it rong akshully? Yeah, in part. I need to reconoiter what change means on a daily basis. And yes, there’s some boat metaphors in here.

I throw out some props to Len from Jawbone, Scott Sigler, and the Big Guy of the week, JC Hutchins

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 106 – How do pharma marketing conferences live the change?

It’s been a long day being involved in the Digital Pharma Marketing conference. A fair reminder, I work for a pharmaceutical company. What’s this got to with “living the change that we want to see”? I feel as though I’m trying to help people understand Social Media. So many marketers just want to jump in and do some shouting. I’m hoping I can help them grok the space first.

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 105 – If the whole world homeschooled, what would it look like?

Discussion around the feedback from Alexandre Enkerli. This is the second of two parts answering the two-fold question, “What about socialisation?” as well as “What if everybody homeschooled, what would socialisation look like?” It’s always hard when the discussion turns to self-realisation, doesn’t it? This week runs a bit longer, but I think it’s still worth it

Whole Lot of Nonsense – Show 103 – Homeschooling feedback… from JR Murdock

Feedback from JR Murdock. This renowned Podiobook author has some thought provoking discussion about the nature of parental involvement. That’s my theme I’m going to stick with… there’s more than just that, but it’s what I’m running with. Thanks JR, for such well-constructed thoughts.

Show 104 will give an opportunity to revisit some theme from Alex Enkerli.
