Podcast: Play in new window
Well, it’s been five years and I’ve told and/or shared several hundred stories in our community. However, because I’m beginning new stories with Fahari Arts Institute, a multi-discipline arts organization, and well as my column on Examiner.com, I’ve decided to end the podcasts and blog on this site. I’ll share my music reviews and other podcasts occasionally at popolio.com, so please follow that blog. In the meantime, thanks for supporting Mandrake Society Radio.com and Mandrake Society Radio podcast.
Most of all, thank you for allowing me to share my vision for my community in this format. My community here in Dallas, Texas, as well as my national and international community. I hope that these shows brought a glimpse of the world that was refreshing and at times, challenging. In this talk of LGBT equality, I hope these shows reminded you like they reminded me that the work starts locally. It’s in the uncomfortable conversation with those closest to us that are many times the biggest obstacles and the most personally rewarding once there is understanding.
In today’s final show, I’m interviewed by Dallas poet and author Gayle Bell and in-between the interview are snippets of past interviews including words about poetry from Opalina Salas, Dallas-based singer/songwriter Marilyn Duncan, and a lesson in drumming from Alassane Sarr. Music in the show is featured by Orrin Evans. I have three copies of his latest release, Faith in Action, from Posi-Tone Records to give away. The disc is awesome, and if you’re one of the first three people who comment on this post, you will win a disc. (You must give a working email with your comment for me to get a hold of you to get your address!)
