From June to September 2024, I lived and worked at the Darwin Ranch, the most remote guest ranch in the lower 48 states. It was the best summer of my life. Seeking to reflect upon my time there, I spoke to Kathy Bole and Oliver Klingenstein, a mother-son pair and the current owners of the ranch about this special place that has welcomed guests every summer for 101 years.

St Andrews is a community buzzing with pure, uninhibited creativity. As a university with no funding for the arts and no fine arts program outside of music, students put their entrepreneurial caps on when getting creative. In this episode, I chat with Nuala O'Hagan, one of the founders of the Lazy Anarchist Collective, a literary and artistic publication produced by St Andrews students. We discuss Nuala's inspiration behind the Lazy Anarchist, the work that goes into curating and maintaining a creative community, and the beauty that arises when there is no institutional framework for the arts.
