On the show:
- I don’t think I got the chance to mention that it was Play In The Sand Day, but if I know you, I’m sure you got it anyway. (If I don’t know you, I may be wrong.)
- Since it’s Water Quality Month, I felt it was a good idea to revisit my chat with Jared Durelle from last summer, when he spent time with the Nova Scotia Grandmother Waterkeepers. He shares his first-hand experience of the tension and fight to keep water protected from resource exploitation.
- During the discussion, Jared requested a moment of silence for contemplation and respect. Unfortunately, on the replay, I needed to have some sound there, so I substituted a little natural sound:
-
- “Bird Song” recording from Fresound.org made by user johnaudiotech, and used under the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution Licence
- I also pulled out a phone interview with Jenny Mitchell from 2017, when she was touring the country with a portable music venue on “The Golden Bus Tour”.
