S7 E5: Bruce Arthurs on Storytelling Through Art Welcome to Tea Toast and Trivia. Thank you for listening in! I am your host, Rebecca Budd, and I look forward to sharing this moment with you. Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with my friend Bruce Arthurs, an extraordinary and innovative artist who has made a remarkable return to the world of creativity after spending over three decades away from his craft. Bruce’s first career led him to the executive levels of financial services, where he honed a keen analytical mind and a strategic approach to problem-solving. I believe that this experience provided him with a unique perspective on the business of art. His journey back to art has been fueled by a passion for storytelling and a desire to capture the essence of his diverse travel experiences. His artwork is a vibrant representation of the cultures and mythologies he has encountered along the way. Bruce infuses his work with a unique vibrancy that speaks to the heart of human experience. His action figures are more than mere collectibles; they are a celebration of the narratives that shape our understanding of the world. Through his art, Bruce invites viewers to explore the stories behind each piece, encouraging them to connect with the rich tapestry of history and imagination. It is time to put the kettle on and join us in exploring the fascinating world of Bruce’s artistry and the inspirations that drive him. Listeners thank you for joining Bruce to discuss creative journeys. You can meet up with Bruce on Instagram . You are only an internet click away from meeting up with remarkable characters and stories. A very special thank you, Bruce, for sharing your insights and passion with us. Your ability to blend artistry with storytelling encourages us all to reflect on our own narratives. Art is not just about what we see; it’s about the stories we tell and the connections we forge. Until next time, safe travels wherever your adventures lead you. Music by Epidemic Sound Small Village Talk By Claude Signet https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/Yqd78h1ozb/…

Public libraries and bookstores have expanded their reach into a global community. Book readings have gone virtual. We are learning to embrace technology in new ways. Welcome to the podcast series, “Authors Reading their Books”, which brings authors and their books from across the world to your home.

Season 7 Episode 3: Dr. Derek Bryce on Responsible Travel, Supporting Communities and Sustainability Travel has grown exponentially to the point that some tourist destinations are implementing measures to manage over-tourism and protect their local communities and natural resources. This approach aims to balance the economic benefits of tourism with the preservation of the destination’s cultural and environmental assets. We are being told to travel responsibly, but what does that mean? Dr. Bryce is joining me today to discuss how to travel responsibly in a world when tourism is in the ascendency. With February here, it’s the perfect time to discuss how we can plan our travels more thoughtfully this year. So, put the kettle on and add to this exciting conversation. Thank you, Derek, for sharing your knowledge, experience, and insights. You reminded us that when we travel responsibly, we preserve the environment by reducing our carbon footprint. When we support local economies, we contribute to sustainable tourism practices and promote cultural understanding. When we respect local communities, we enhance our personal growth through new experiences and perspectives gained. Responsible travel can lead to meaningful connections with people from different backgrounds, fostering a sense of global citizenship and empathy towards others.

S7 E2: Celebrating Robert Burns with Address to A Haggis In January, Tea Toast & Trivia celebrates the great Scottish poet and lyricist, Robert Burns. Widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and celebrated worldwide, Burns is best known for his poetry written in the Scots language, with works such as “Auld Lang Syne,” “Address to a Haggis,” and “Tam O’ Shanter.” His poetry reflects themes of love, nature, and Scotland’s cultural heritage. Haggis holds a special place in Scotland’s culinary and cultural heritage, embodying the spirit of an indomitable nation. This traditional dish, made primarily from sheep’s offal mixed with oats and spices, reflects the resourcefulness and frugality that characterized Scottish life, particularly in rural areas. The deep connection between haggis and Scotland’s identity is further solidified by its association with Robert Burns and his poem, “Address to a Haggis”. He praises the haggis as the “great chieftain o’ the puddin’ race,” suggesting that it is a dish worthy of honour and respect—much like the Scottish people themselves. Haggis has become synonymous with the festivities of Burns Suppers held worldwide each year on January 25th, where friends and families gather to commemorate Burns’ life and works. The act of addressing and serving haggis during these events is steeped in tradition and serves as a joyous reminder of Scotland’s vibrant culture. It encourages the sharing of stories, music, and camaraderie. Come join me to celebrate Robert Burns with his iconic “Address to a Haggis”! The vivid imagery and spirited language invite us to join in the festivities of a Burns Supper and pay tribute to the enduring legacy of Scotland’s beloved national poet. Address to a Haggis Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o’ the puddin’-race! Aboon them a’ ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye wordy o’ a grace As lang’s my arm. The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, Your pin wad help to mend a mill In time o’ need, While thro’ your pores the dews distil Like amber bead. His knife see rustic Labour dight, An’ cut you up wi’ ready slight, Trenching your gushing entrails bright, Like onie ditch; And then, O what a glorious sight, Warm-reekin’, rich! Then, horn for horn, they stretch an’ strive: Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive, Till a’ their weel-swall’d kytes belyve Are bent like drums; The auld Guidman, maist like to rive, ‘Bethankit’ hums. Is there that owre his French ragout Or olio that wad staw a sow, Or fricassee wad make her spew Wi’ perfect sconner, Looks down wi’ sneering, scornfu’ view On sic a dinner? Poor devil! see him owre his trash, As feckless as a wither’d rash, His spindle shank a guid whip-lash, His nieve a nit; Thro’ bloody flood or field to dash, O how unfit! But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed, The trembling earth resounds his tread. Clap in his walie nieve a blade, He’ll make it whissle; An’ legs an’ arms, an’ heads will sned, Like taps o’ thrissle. Ye Pow’rs, wha mak mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o’ fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies; But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer, Gie her a Haggis Music by Epidemic Sound Auld Lang Syne (Traditional Version) by Traditional…

S6 E14 Kim Mooney on “In an Instant” I stood quietly, looking out the window on a Thursday morning in May 2018. The sky was clear and bright, that crystal-clear blue we so rarely get on the West Coast. Not a cloud in the sky. As I took a sip of my tea, the air filled with the scream of sirens. The shrill sound of the fire trucks and ambulance drew closer and closer. Suddenly the vehicles were in front of my house. They stopped, lights flashing. Men were jumping from the vehicles before they completely stopped, running toward the house directly across the street. I froze in my spot and watched, fascinated in the moment by these running action figures. Within minutes they were back on the sidewalk. In that instant I knew something bad had happened. I ran . Kim Mooney “In An Instant: Stories of Resilience and Courage” Welcome to Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you for listening in. I am your host Rebecca Budd, and I am looking forward to sharing this moment with you. I am delighted and thrilled that my long-time friend, Kim Mooney has joined me on Tea Toast & Trivia to discuss her new book, “In an Instant – Stories of Resilience and Courage.” Kim’s career has been an eclectic one, moving between teaching and hospital administration and back to teaching. With Kim’s first published story in 1970 came a prize – a typewriter. A few short stories and a series of poems were written on that typewriter and then it was set aside in a drawer. Her first book, Hidden Daughter Secret Sister; A Story of Adoption , was published in 2020. Thank you for joining Kim and me on Tea Toast & Trivia. And a special thank you, Kim, for sharing the profound and life-affirming stories of nine ordinary people who chose to live extraordinary lives with courage and determination.

Welcome to this special episode of our podcast, where I share a heartfelt conversation with my 93-year-old mother. In this episode, we journey back to the 1930s, as she reminisces about her experiences attending a one-room schoolhouse on the prairies. Her vivid memories paint a picture of a simpler time, filled with laughter, learning, and the bonds of childhood friendships. As we delve into her stories, we also reflect on the present moment, as my mother now receives 24/7 care. This conversation holds a special place in my heart, as it was one of the last meaningful exchanges we had before she transitioned into this new phase of her life. Despite the challenges she faces, her spirit remains unbroken, and she continues to express her gratitude for each day that unfolds. Join me as we celebrate my mother’s incredible journey and the wisdom she has gained over the years. Her stories are not just a glimpse into the past; they are a testament to resilience, love, and the importance of cherishing every moment. Tune in to hear her voice and the lessons that resonate through generations. Until next time we meet, safe travels wherever your adventures lead you.

Okay. Sometimes, I let out a small moan when walking around the apartment. I’m not unhappy – I’m loved, well-fed, and sheltered – but there are still things a cat thinks about. Such as, who were my mom and dad? Where are they? Are they still alive? Do I have siblings somewhere? Why am I an “only cat”?

It is this connection that as a nature and wildlife photographer that I am in continuous search for. Capturing wildlife and nature in its natural state is a challenging task.

Emily has a passion for nature and her enthusiasm inspired me to take a leap of faith into the world of photography. How can photography be a way to engage with nature and the environment? How can we preserve, through photography, what was once, but is no more? How can nature photography bring a sense of calm and wellness to our lives? These are the questions that will be discussed today. I invite you to put the kettle on and add to this exciting dialogue ! Thank you, Emily, for sharing your knowledge, experience, and insights. You have been a source of encouragement to me over the years.

Thank you for listening in. I am your host, Rebecca Budd, and I look forward to sharing this moment with you. Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) was a highly acclaimed New Zealand writer and poet. Born in Wellington, New Zealand October 14, 1888, she is regarded as one of the most influential modernist short story writers of her time. Mansfield’s poetic sensibility and expert craftsmanship have secured her a lasting place in literary history. Katherine’s writings are known for their vivid imagery, introspective themes, and exploration of the complexities of human emotions. Her remarkable ability to capture the subtle nuances of everyday life and convey them through delicate and lyrical language sets her apart. Despite her untimely death at the age of 34, Mansfield’s legacy as a pioneering writer continues to resonate in the literary world.
