Nine Rails Arts Podcast Ep. 28 - Social Undistance

In Episode 28 of the Nine Rails Arts Podcast, we sit down at the Banyan Studio picnic table to discuss Social Undistance, an interdisciplinary exhibition and contemporary dance experience at Ogden Contemporary Arts Center that explores how shared isolation and limited physical connection impacts the human experience.
 
Featuring photographer Cam McLeod in collaboration with Tawna Halbert and the Ogden MoveMeant Collective, Social Undistance layers photography and videography with human movement in ways that speak to our increased reliance on technology as a means of personal connection.
 
We are joined by Cam McLeod; Kelly McLeod, Ogden MoveMeant Collective Director, Tawna Halbert; and OCA Executive Director, Venessa Castagnoli. Podcast produced by R. Brandon Long.
 
Don't miss an episode of The Banyan Collective’s Nine Rails Arts Podcast, as hosts and arts advocates, Todd Oberndorfer, Cam McLeod, Jake McIntire, and Shane Osguthorpe explore what it means to be an adventurous creative.

Bourbon, Beer & Books Ep. 5 - Remote Control

This month we discuss NNedi Okorafor's Remote Control, described on her website as, "science fiction of the Africanfuturist strain that knows aliens exist, quietly shows how technology is influenced by culture, features a powerful yet deeply-pained female protagonist, and wonders about the role of corporations in rural Africa." 
So grab a bourbon and sip along with us. This selection was loved by the hosts. Tune in to find out why. 
Cheers!

Van Sessions at The Monarch - Wood Carver

Singer-songwriter Wood Carver fuses humor, clever lyrics, and good fun into his songs during this episode of Van Sessions. If you listen closely, you can often hear myself chuckling over the witty versus. Loved this amusing set recorded LIVE at The Monarch during Ogden's First Friday Art Stroll.

Bourbon, Beer & Books Ep. 4 - Rendezvous with Rama

Kase's pick, Rendezvous with Rama, is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke. Set in the 2130s, astronauts explore a cylindrical alien starship. How does this 1973 classic hold up?

Bourbon, Beer & Books Ep. 3 - Jaws

Full of welcoming metaphors and more depth than anticipated, JAWS, the book, surprised us in a few ways. As Leigh noted, "Even when it's problematic...it's still trying to do stuff." 
Other notes, Kase finally imbibed, we endured symphony practice, and a tree fell on Seans internet (true story). Otherwise, smooth livestream and podcast.
Enjoy!
