Welcome to the Democracy Disaster Diner

This podcast is Episode 32, and we are celebrating our anniversary at SANDI AULT—Reporting from the WILD. Our first publication was right around one year ago today, and we are grateful to all our listeners, followers, and subscribers. And watch this space for an anniversary sale on subscriptions.

About the podcast versions of our essays: I really love doing these podcasts because I get to wear a lot of hats: writer, storyteller, producer, musician, and composer. I’m always delighted to include my own original music as well as voices from the community. We usually curate the script for the podcast from the essay, and try to make it entertaining and hopefully thought provoking.

I was blessed with a prodigious amount of voiceover talent for this complex podcast script, beginning with the talented actor Kevin Mayr, who was kind enough to interpret the lines from the film NUREMBERG as well as be the voice of Aristotle; and the fabulous podcaster, Channie Peters; the great voiceover artist Michael Clarkson, and three talented voices from our team: our Purple Weather Lady, Rock Castle, and Sheila Allred.

I want to thank Theresa Daus-Weber for her steadfast assistance in the development of this script, and—along with our cohort Eric Brody, many thanks for the great editing these two always provide.
