Crows Nest Radio – season 2 – episode 1
The Portland Intergenerational Women’s Choir opened up their practices to my microphones and shared with me how they really feel about singing together every week.
This is the first episode of the new season of the Crows Nest Radio podcast, now from Portland, Oregon. You can download the mp3.
What is Crows Nest Radio?
Hello, my name is Eric Klein and I loved this radio show of mine. It aired from fall of 2010 to fall of 2011 in the Bay Area of Northern California on KPFA. It was a story telling radio show. It was also a live call in show. It was a creative experiment.
For a purely experimental live show, take a listen to this episode first: “The Ballad of Mr Fantiso” because it combines live music, story telling, and listener calls. My more traditional news and public affaris radio work can be found here.
Or just pick a show below and give it a listen. We did a series of shows called “Unemployed” and another called “Our Dead Friends and Facebook,” both using recorded stories and live listener calls.
I love the first episode “Sascha’s Dangerous Gifts” and the last one The Censored Climate Change Streetscapes of Anthony Holdsworth. I love all the ones in between.

Listen to Anthony tell us his story while he paints this very picture and as he is interrupted by all manner of friendly folks on the street:

Ambrose Desmond took a trip to South Africa where he made a new friend who took him to Ecotopia, on a small island off the coast of Finland. Later, he meets a hermit who lives on an oasis in the New Mexico dessert. Ambrose also shared a story on the previous episode.
Anthony Holdsworth called the live show to share a true story about his very censored painting.
Anthony Holdsworth's "Oakland Global Warming # 2"
Awesome paintings Mr. Holdsworth. Thanks for sharing.
MUSIC from the show:
The Ballad of Mr Fantisto
If we can’t change the world by marching in the streets, then why is Ambrose so happy?

Ambrose Desmond, and a few other folks, share their tales. Mere seconds before this podcast file begins I asked the radio listeners to share their true stories of street protest, but that’s not what I got.
