In This Episode:
Welcome to The Say The Word podcast!
In this inaugural episode, I’ll give you a tiny bit of background on what this whole podcast thing is all about before jumping right into our first reading!
This episode features an excerpt from Brian Doyle’s gorgeous posthumous collection of essays, One Long River of Song.
His stunning words will naturally open us to so many questions, among them:
What churns inside you?
Who do you throw windows open to?
What if you didn’t build those brick walls?
We’ll dig into all this and more in today’s episode:
[00:46] - welcome
[01:22] - what I teach and how this whole podcast thing relates to it
[02:21] - what is curiosity? Why does it matter?
[03:20] - what are the tools to build these skills?
[05:32] - what I won’t be talking about here…
[06:57] - the excerpt from Brian Doyle’s essay
[09:03] - discussion part 1
[14:16] - discussion part 2
[21:01] - a member of my community shares a line from a book that deeply affected her life (it’s so, so beautiful! don’t skip this!)
[22:47] - what’s coming up next week
Be sure to go immediately and buy Brian Doyle’s One Long River of Song - you won’t be sorry, I promise. (Not a sales pitch…I just think you’ll love the book!)
Also, in case you didn’t know about Bookshop, it’s a place to buy books from local and independent bookstores. You can choose your bookstore and look for local shops near you.
I’d so appreciate it if you could take a moment to rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts! It truly makes a huge difference!
Thanks for being here and I can’t wait to see you next week!
