From Hearing Voices | Part of the Scott Carrier stories series | 16:03

The water and the culture of Hawaii.

Sc_surf_small An uneasy transition from liking surf music to taking surf lessons, with no board, no place to stay, except a tent on the beach and a big, bad Hawaiian teacher -- part of a native culture that doesn't trust white men as far as they can throw 'em.

The Spring & the Pipeline

From KVNF | Part of the Belief Systems and Other B.S. series | 03:31

We're many generations removed from most religion's founders: does it matter?

Bwheadcopysmooth_small Given that most major religions were founded centuries ago, it may be that they have little actual spiritual substance to offer today's adherents, and instead rely on a sort of religious inertia. A parable is offered that illustrates the problem.
