Episode 7 – On the Road Again

Dining with Druids

http://alisonleighlilly.com/podcast/DwD_ep7.mp3

Welcome to Episode 7 of Dining Driving with Druids! We’re your hosts, Ali and Jeff Lilly.

In tonight’s episode, “On the Road Again,” Ali and Jeff continue their harrowing journey through the green, rolling countryside of Pennsylvania and New York, while they discuss the future of Pagan publishing, storytelling as a way of uniting theory with practice, tensions between authority and vulnerability in Pagan writing, and the real work of wandering in the wilderness. Jeff mostly focuses on not crashing the car while Ali returns to her favorite theological bones to worry and reflects a bit about the challenges that face Pagan bloggers today. And a special treat for listeners: a Jonathan Coulton song that’s actually performed by Jonathan Coulton (since Ali so badly mutilated some of his work in the last episode of DwD, we figured we kind of owe it to him).

Mentioned in tonight’s episode:

• “I’m Your Moon,” by Jonathan Coulton (available for free download! yay!)
• “Supporting your ‘beyond 101’ writers,” by Brendan Myers
• Chi Running by Danny Dreyer
• Excellent books by Emma Restall Orr, Phyllis Curott, Anne Lamott, Natalie Goldberg and Annie Dillard
• “Contemplations on Polytheism and Gods of the Land,” “Light a Candle to Begin” and “Ecstasy of Beltane: Reflections on Love and Transgression,” by Alison Leigh Lilly
• Walk-mans (remember those?!)
• Metaphorical cities
• The driver who cut us off

Thanks for listening, and join us next time here on DwD!
