No Elaboration: The Surreal World of David Lynch

 There are few directors working today like David Lynch. Since his 1977 cult favorite Eraserhead became one of the early titans of indie cinema, the man has blazed a trail across movies and television as strange as it is influential. Join hosts Todd and Ellie on a journey through that weird trail, from strange apartments, to supernatural logging towns, to other planets and all points in between.

Walking Through France

The Chemin de St. Jacques is an amazingly beautiful walking route cherished by the French and traveled by pilgrims for nearly 1000 years.  The journey through lush woodlands, flower-laden fields, volcanic formation, and ancient villages and towns, allows for meditative walking, engaging conversation and introspection. Gale Carey brings us the story of her 35-day journey as a modern day pilgrim on the Chemin - from the practical to the philosophical.
