LISTENER SURVEY • CLICK HERE

The second Wind listener survey!

Plus, a guest episode from our friends at Twenty Thousand Hertz.

The guest episode is called Dias Irae, and I think it works as a companion piece to Devil Music.

The Wind will be back in the fall -- thanks for listening.

The Wind on Snap Judgement!

If you're new to The Wind, start with the Prologue.

////

 

Hey, Fil Here

Just dropping in the feed real quick with an announcement. Wind episode Whip Law just aired on the podcast and national radio show Snap Judgement. We’ve got a wave of new listeners here so if you came over from Snap, WELCOME.

 

The Wind can be a hard show to describe, but I recommend starting with the Prologue. It's the very first episode and it’ll explain the premise of the show.

 

Then, feel free to click around. If you dug Whip Law you might like Rodeo Clown or a Hobo a Tramp a Bum.

 

And if you’re already a Wind listenerr thank you. Whip Law will be airing on Snap Judgement this week all over North America.

 

Catch you soon with the season finale of Year 3.

This episode is part of a two part series called The Merry Monarchs. Both are from Wind contributor Eleanor Qull.

In this episode of the Merry Monarchs, Eleanor makes an audio tour for the Monarch Butterflies, and to aid them on their migration, she constructs a series of objects and offerings. And it’s not just audio magic: she really created these offerings: butterfly-sized leather-bound books, kites, pendants and baskets…all types of really cool stuff. You can see photos of all of it at TheWind.org.

A huge thank you to Theo Rassmusen who provided all of the music in this episode. Theo is a good friend and excellent synth musician and you can his work at patterns.bandcamp.com

Thanks to Laurie Leonard of the River Fork Ranch, Dr. Chip Taylor: Founder and Director of Monarch Watch, and Storai Stanizai for speaking to us for this episode.
