Summer-Sounds-2023-Bob Davis Podcast 1088

Summer Sounds 2023

Firstly it’s the peak of winter over North America and therefore time for a Summer Sounds Podcast. Put your headphones on for Summer-Sounds-2023-Bob Davis Podcast 1088.

Recording Summer Sounds For Years

Secondly since around 2015 I have been recording summer sounds.

Spring Is Around The Corner

And then when spring seems right around the corner.

But Winter Is Still Here

But winter proves resilient.

Time For Summer Sounds

It’s time for a Summer Sounds Podcast.

Immersed In Summer

Above all listening to these summer sounds podcasts immerse the listener in summer.

Colorado

Whether it is a beautiful Mountain Town in Colorado.

Ten Thousand Feet Up

Or the delicious sound of the wind on a ten thousand foot mountain peak.

Lakeside

Certainly the sounds lakeside.

Bugs

The bug and birds.

Truck Stops and Lawn Mowers

Finally a truck stop in the southwest somewhere, a lawn mower and a drum circle.

Monsoon

Of course there’s a full on summer monsoon storm in Utah and the sound of the crackling campfire.

No Talk

Furthermore after the introduction there’s no talk until we say goodbye near the end of this podcast.

Winter Can Be Just Too Much

To sum up when we get this close to warmer weather it seems like winter can be just too much.

Loam Of Summer’s Eve Beckons

Even more the loam of a summer evening is immersive and peaceful in the midst of a difficult time.

Love Producing Summer Sounds

I enjoy producing these podcasts as much as I hope you enjoy listening to them.

A Life Outside

In addition now that I travel full time I am outside all the time and all through the seasons.

Grateful For The Back Roads

Above all I am grateful I’ve had the opportunity to experience the mountain peaks, small towns, national parks and back roads of the United States these past years.

Wild Things

In the same vein there’s a lot of wild things to see and hear.

Great To Share

And it’s great to be able to share with subscribers and listeners.

Original Content

In conclusion it gets more difficult every podcast to do something original.

Certainly when you’ve done over a thousand podcasts.

And when the standard talk topics we hear out there don’t fit in this venue anymore.

Passion For Travel

On the other hand I know we all share the passion for travel and the desire to hit the road.

Even if it’s just every now and then.

Especially during the glorious summer months.

Headphones On

In short grab a beverage, put on your headphones and turn it up.

Prepare to be transported to the peak of summer.

Even if it’s just forty minutes.

Nomadlife-Or-Corporatelife-False-Choice-Bob Davis Podcast 1087

Nomad Life Or Corporate Life False Choice

Firstly Nomadlife Or Corporatelife is a false choice. Period. Full stop. Details in Nomadlife-Or-Corporatelife-False-Choice-Bob Davis Podcast 1087.

Quit Your Job

Secondly certain people are saying people in the corporate world back home should quit their jobs and join the nomad ‘movement’.

Really?

Therefore suddenly being a nomad is now an ‘ism’ or a ‘movement’. Really?

Too Big For Your Britches

And some of us think certain prognosticators are getting too big for their britches.

Social Media

In addition social media ‘stars’ don’t speak for the whole.

Certainly that is the whole point of the nomad experience isn’t it?

Being A Nomad Is Not A Statement

Above all I don’t like the idea that being a nomad is some kind of anti capitalist statement.

Or any kind of statement at all.

Natural?

For example telling people the nomad experience is ‘noble’ or ‘ordained’ or ‘natural’ is inaccurate.

Even more maybe out and out wrong.

A Choice

Most importantly this nomad life is a choice.

And so is the corporate world.

You Do You

Further neither choice is right or wrong.

Thank You

Finally a big thank you to those back in the world for all you do.

Respecting Nature

Certainly your contribution makes it possible for us to enjoy and respect this wilderness.

Not Fair Or Factual

But saying the world back home is unnatural isn’t fair or factual.

Life Choices

To sum up we all make choices at different times in our lives for different reasons.

It’s A Lifestyle Not A Judgement

Moreover as a nomad I did not do this in judgement of people back home or their choices.

I’ll tell you more in Nomadlife-Or-Corporatelife-False-Choice-Bob Davis Podcast 1087.

False Intellectualism

In conclusion the assertion humans are pack animals and therefore nomads…

And because of this ‘reality’ you people back home should stop being ‘exploited’ and join us out here…

Is just plain nonsense.

Isn’t The Whole Point Freedom?

To sum up humans who are free can create many things.

Embrace Liberty

Maybe nomads who have appointed themselves chiefs of the tribe ought to embrace liberty and leave people back home alone.

Requiem-For-An-American-Dream-Bob Davis Podcast 1082

Requiem For An American Dream

Firstly in any requiem for an American Dream we pay our respects to a time when it worked. Details in Requiem-For-An-American-Dream-Bob Davis Podcast 1082.

Negativity

Secondly negativity and division permeate our culture these days.

New Dream

Therefore at the end of another not so good year maybe we need a new dream.

Or you can refer to the movie ‘Blow’ for the ‘Maybe You Had The Wrong Dream’ quote.

Shared Vision

Above all in Requiem-For-An-American-Dream-Bob Davis Podcast 1082 I talk about the value of a shared vision for the future.

Values

For example the American Dream originally was based on the values of the Declaration of Independence.

History

And in the 1930’s the dream we know today was created out of whole cloth by historian James Truslow Adams.

Advertising

Consequently advertising got hold of it after World War 2.

Consumer Economy

As a result Truslow’s dream helped fuel the growth of the consumer economy in the United States.

Twisted Remnant

Since then The American Dream has become a sort of twisted remnant from a bygone age.

Aspirations

Yet most young adults begin their journey through life aspiring to the same old theme.

Maybe it’s time for a new dream?

New Year’s Resolutions

In addition this is time of the year we allow ourselves to think about the future.

Similarly why not think about a new shared vision for the future?

Rejecting The Traditional American Dream

Certainly I have rejected the traditional American Dream by becoming a nomad.

Artistic Business

And attempting to grow an artistic business on the road.

Tools Of Tech

Even more technology today for all it’s foibles provides the tools to create versions of the American Dream our grandparents never considered.

Telling Stories

In Requiem-For-An-American-Dream-Bob Davis Podcast 1082 I tell some stories from the bygone era and talk about the postwar economic and social history.

Thought Experiment

Further I think this thought exercise helps in a time when everyone is pointing fingers.
