Keep talking Scott
My favourite podcast that I’ll always return to. I can
pick any random episode and just fall right into it. Regardless of the content, it is always a calming listen.
I’ve really missed your point of view and voice, Scott. Glad that you’re back.
Thank you Scott for your beautiful work. Following your work for years now. Inspiring how you ‘look the lion in te mouth’ in your fieldwork on location. How you take the listener along in your determined quest to find out ‘ how it really is’. Performed in a poetic way accompanied by a beautiful soundscape. Don’t give up but do take care of yourself. Thanks again and all the best from Amsterdam.
Have loved Scott carriers work for years and grateful old stories are getting reposted. The visual of the pizza slice upside down on the floor has stuck with me since the first time I heard it. Descriptions of Scott’s travels and observations in Prisoner of Zion has also reverberated in my minds eye for years. Thank you for sharing your stories 🕊
