SIDE B — Episode 1: The Origin Story.

Fifty years ago, a thirteen-year-old kid sat on a basement floor in Edmonton, listening to 630 CHED Radio. A gentleman named Bob Comfort came on the air — and nothing was ever quite the same after that.Bob had a segment called Posters for Your Mind.

He'd take the week's top song and pull the human story out of it. It was unlike anything I'd heard. And sitting there, I thought: maybe I can do that.What followed was a broadcasting course, a record collection full of scratches, and an instructor who — wisely — kept me fifty feet from the turntable.That was almost fifty years ago.
The equipment has changed. The dream hasn't.
This is Episode 1 of Side B. It's my origin story — why this podcast exists, what took so long, and what's finally made it possible. Including a part about cerebral palsy I don't talk around.
Every episode ends with a song. This one closes with Trisha Yearwood."The Song Remembers When."It'll make sense when you hear it.
Welcome to Side B. Pull up a chair.

    Episode Title: The Wayfarer on the Floorboard: An Autumn MeditationFormat: Conversational Audio Essay

    Estimated Run Time: ~7:30

    Episode SummaryIn this reflective, poetic audio essay, we slow down the bustling rhythm of daily life to examine a quiet commuter: a single, battered golden leaf resting motionless on the rubber floorboard of a moving transit vehicle.

    What begins as an ordinary observation unfolds into a wide-ranging meditation on the drama of autumn, the remarkable cellular lifecycle of leaves, and their enduring place in human folklore and literature. Tracing its journey from spring bud to winter soil, the essay explores the unselfish alchemy of fallen foliage—ending on an intimate view outside a front window, waiting for the north wind to blow.

    Key Themes & Segment Breakdown
    • The Defiant Wayfarer: The peculiar physics of a light, brittle autumn leaf refusing to shift or slide on the floor of a braking, turning vehicle.
    • Armor for the Road: Reading the leaf's weathered contours—not as fragile debris, but as an armored voyager that has tumbled down concrete streets and asphalt ribbons before finding human transit.
    • The Drama of Fall: Autumn as nature's most theatrical season, moving through turbulent contrasts of blazing warmth, bone-chilling frost, and sodden mist.
    • From Canopy to Abscission: The science of a leaf's life—emerging from dormant winter buds, serving for months as an emerald solar engine, and finally severing itself via the cellular abscission zone.
    • Foliage in Fact & Legend: A look at the sheer numbers (hundreds of thousands of leaves on an oak; quadrillions worldwide) and famous leaves in cultural memory, from Genesis and Roman laurel wreaths to the Canadian maple leaf and O. Henry’s The Last Leaf.
    • The Final Act of Alchemy: How fallen foliage blankets root systems, shelters winter microbes, and surrenders vital minerals (nitrogen, calcium, potassium) back to the earth to resurrect the forest come spring.
    • The Window Tree: A personal parting reflection on a beloved golden tree outside the window, watching its canopy prepare to take flight into someone else's day.
    Memorable Lines"Given its featherweight build and near-total absence of mass, that stubborn stillness was a marvel of micro-physics and pure obstinacy."

    "Their death is the soil’s resurrection. They feed the very root system that birthed them, guaranteeing next spring’s forest will erupt into vibrant, magnificent life once more."
