Hey, there, it's Nick.
And right now it's raining in Donegal.
We're still working on the new season of Love and radio, which we'll be dropping on you this autumn.
In the meantime, we're dipping into our archives and featuring work by folks that we love.
This time, I'm going to play for you one of my favorite pieces by legendary radio producer Scott Carrier, who launched his own podcast, Home of the Brave, early last year.
You can listen to the rest of his work@homebrave.com.
this piece is called the neighborhood.
That's my dog.
He's okay.
And these are tapes I made in my neighborhood.
Some are sounds I recorded around my house.
Some are things I taped off the radio, and others are interviews with my neighbors.
I live in Salt Lake City, Utah, and this program is my neighborhood scrapbook.
I think I should like to use those marvelous words written by Parley P.
Pratt as something of a theme.
The morning breaks the shadows flee low Zion's standard is unfurled the dawning of a brighter day majestic rises on the world the clouds of air disappear before the rays of truth divine the glory bursting from afar wide o'er the nations soon will shine.
Okay, well, I would wonder what my house is like from somebody who comes in from the outside, and so I try to meet it that way a lot of the time when I meet it from the outside, I'm real puzzled by it.
This isn't the house that I thought I was designing for myself, but it's the house that happened up around me.
This table's gone through 17 moves, and the other things have long histories of their own that they came to me with already.
Somehow I kind of guard and cherish those histories, too, and what they do to my imagination.
