  • 3/2/25: “The Evolution of Man,” by the songplayer.
    Benjamin Goldenhour (the songplayer.) is serious about play, encouraged in chaos, and loves a good ol’ fashioned mistake; he has no idea what he is doing, but that has fortunately never been a hindrance. He lives in the woods somewhere outside Seattle with his novel-writing partner, rock-chewing mutt, and nap-dodging toddler. Listen for his new music on the second day of each month.
    This month’s recording is a celebration of the opportunity to enact intentional change throughout the generations.

  • 2/29/25: “February 30th,” by j.gano

    Wow, February 29th was here and gone in the blink of an eye. About 4 minutes and 2 seconds. I hope you made the most of it! I had a pretty good day. I was only sad for about one tenth of it, or approximately 24 seconds. See if you can figure out what parts I was sad for and what parts I was not sad for. Anyway, happy New Month!
