In Episode 008 of On The Path, Charlie shares his goals and frustrations with trying to start the born to groove movement, his lifelong mission of emboldening the youth with rhythm and dance skills.

Charlie and Jonny discuss Chapter 1 of Charlie's "Born to Groove" book, entitled "The Womb Drum". How does exposure to rhythm influence the development of babies? How are dancing and "rhythmning" as Thelonius Monk called it, engrained in human DNA?

Charlie details his mission to spread the gospel of the groove, teaching musical skills to children as early as possible.

Charlie and Jon discuss a various mix of things from Israel and Palestine, the upcoming US presidential election, and the importance of more food talk in the campaign. Which candidate is fighting for nutrition in school lunches, local farm and garden incentives/education?

In this episode we invite academic and scientist Victoria Alexander, who's work in biosemiotics has brought her around the world to lecture and teach at places like the University of St. Petersburgh in Russia. We discuss Libertarianism and much more!
