Glad you’re here. Last week, you might remember we had a gentleman named Robert O’Neill on the show. One of the most highly decorated combat veterans in America, he served 8 years at the legendary SEAL Team Six. He is also the person who shot and killed 9/11 mastermind, Osama Bin Laden. He shared his story (which you should hear before listening to Pt.2) It was intense, gripping, and a little later on in the show Robert is back; I have more questions about that experience. So you won’t want to miss that conversation.
Last year on the show, you might remember, we took you to the happiest place on earth: Finland, the country that has won that title for 7 years in a row. Today we’ve got a piece of Finland - and probably a good reason why they’re so happy - coming on the show (and that piece of Finland is available for you, too.)
And god I feel old. It’s been 31 years since the passing of Kurt Cobain, as of April 5. On the night of the 30th anniversary of his passing, Kele Fleming was in the hospital with a medical emergency, waiting for a battery of tests, and, as one does when enduring the hideous hospital wait, was writing songs. Kele is a Vancouver based alt-folk artist whose songs are protest anthems, hymns for the haunted, and that night wrote a song called The Nite The Stars Fell (For Kurt Cobain) which was released this April 5, the 31st anniversary. Kele is joining us too, to tell us more about this unique song and it’s grunge king origin story.
But up first - meow! - we’re going to the dogs! You think you’re suffering with all the constant uncertainty, anxiety out there, fuelled by political upheaval, threats to both Canada and the US in place… and the fact that Severance Season 3 is ages away? Well guess what? You’re not alone. Our dogs are suffering too.
Susan Hartzler is a leading voice in the human-animal bond movement, and has written the critically acclaimed memoir, I’m Not Single, I have A Dog. She’s on a mission to help others recognize how our emotional states impact the animals we love, and is our first guest this episode.
