The Ground Shots Podcast is an audio project exploring our relationship to ecology through conversations and storytelling


How do we do our work in the modern age, when the urgency of ecological and social collapse feels looming? How do we creatively and whole-heartedly navigate our relationships with one another and the land?

 

access more candid writings from the host, Kelly Moody, engage in more conversation about the podcast and the topics we discuss and access Ground Shots extras episodes with a paid subscription on substack:

 



listen and subscribe on : Stitcher / Tunein / Apple podcasts / Spotify / player.fm / google play


The podcast explores story, connection, heart and grit : what drives people to love our earth, creatively express ideas and passions about our world, tend the wilds or walk long distances?

I'm interested in the ways in which we can find bridges of commonality with the land as our shared interest and concern.

Episode #73: Kelly solo on borders, rising to the occasion, weaving ecologies and land immersion

March 9, 2023

Episode #73 is a solo episode with Kelly Moody, Ground Shots Podcast regular host.

I get into a slew of things on this episode, reflecting on camping near the Mexican border and the implication of borders, water, fire and ecological disturbance, summer field immersion programs I’m doing in Western Colorado this season and more.

A shorter episode with just me and some sweet banjo tune by Mandalin Sattler as background music.
