The Banyan Collective

In Episode 24 of the Nine Rails Arts Podcast, we’re joined by representatives from Sasaki, Union Creative Agency, IO Landarch and Ogden City, who make up the design team for the new Nine Rails Arts Plaza, an arts-based plaza in development on the SW corner of 25th St & Ogden Ave in Ogden, Utah. The plaza, scheduled to open October 2021, will be home to a variety of arts events with maximum flexibility – from intimate concerts and live performances to film screenings and art installations.

Authors M. Ellen Dash and Ali Meeks talked with the LITerally Podcast about their new book Conquer Your Fear of the Triathlon Swim. As a swimmer and triathlete, I had a great time reading the step-by-step guide to overcoming anxiety in the water. This is a great book (and podcast, of course) for anyone hoping to turn their fear of open-water swimming into confidence in the water.

Purveyor of the new curated vintage and worn wear shop opening inside GEAR:30, Traverse, Bryden Bowley joins us to chat about the first drop and what we can expect from this unique new shopping experience. 

Also, Outdoorsy News including a whale nearly swallows a couple kayakers, Bonneville Shoreline improvements, Park City cancelations, Snowbird parking reservations, The Nature cure, feeding sheep pumpkins, snow is coming, first skier triggered avalanche of the season, the Big Gear Show moves, and Mt. Everest causes boners. 

We'll give you something Worth Watching, along with a Quote of the Week and your Outdoor Jukebox selection.

Cheers from this Zoom version of OOA Show 361!

Adrienne Christian shared poetry from her new book with us on the LITerally Podcast. We laughed a lot that afternoon. She is welcome back anytime to talk about the writing, life, and the crazy world we live. But her new book of poetry! I insist!
