The Nature Conservancy: Nature Stories podcast has been having an HV orgy lately. Recent casts include HV pieces by Scott Carrier, Jeff Rice, Jack Chance, and me.
Today on KUER: Jim Harrison – Returning to Earth. Literary legend Jim Harrison has been capturing beauty and a zest for life with his poems, novels and essays for more than 40 years. He’s written about the spiritual pleasures of the natural world and the physical pleasures of the body in works like Saving Daylight, Legends of the Fall, and The Raw and the Cooked. Jim Harrison has recently published his ninth novel Returning to Earth, and in it looks from the good life to the good death. He is in Utah, and Thursday, RadioWest will air a conversation between Harrison and independent radio producer Scott Carrier.
MP3 of the hour now online.
Also check our Weekend America story on Harrison.
