If you like the things I post here on the blog, or a particular post inspires you, then consider leaving a tip:
This quote smacked me right between the eyes when I read it. “We judge others by their actions, be we judge ourselves by our intentions.” It’s a spin-off from a Steven Covey quote: “We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviour.” Here’s why it caught my attention....
Late afternoon, sometimes you need a little something to lift your energy to get you over the line.
I felt motivated to start making field recordings and soundscapes as a part of my adventures in sound. It’s best to listen to this with headphones on to immerse yourself in the sound.
#32 Digital Calm: We discuss the Epicurean principles of life versus Hedonism and what we mean by “Balanced Pleasure.” Why housework is good for thinking and developing friendships can be the basis for a fulfilling life. The three kinds of desires and how you can use them to create a...
In this episode, I’m in the hot seat as my friend Cristina unleashes her inner journalist on me to find out what’s behind my love of social radio, which has become my latest passion project. I also talk about how I got into Internet radio and my time at Radio Warwickshire. I...
#AudioMo Day 14: I get reacquainted with the Triggering Town.
#AudioMo Day 12 has me thinking about how I can go out with a bang instead of a whimper. transcript
I ventured out into the post-pandemic world yesterday. There were a few walkers around, but not many. Someone a few cubicles over from me kept coughing. Once upon a time, they would have been tarred and feathered and tossed out into the street. But now, with the vaccine pumping through...
We venture into deep water on this episode tackling consciousness and self-awareness and how they affect who we believe ourselves to be. On the playlist we have music from Justin Warfield, Air, Beth Orton, Skylab, Poets of Thought and more.
#AudioMo In the last couple of days I’ve been able to get into flow state. I love that feeling. It’s awesome. So what have I been doing to get into flow state?
I’ve been threatening to go on a hamburger adventure for many years, now I think the time is ripe. We’ve been cooped up for a year dealing with this whole pandemic thing and now that we’re finally allowed back out, I’m ready to hit the road. In the episode, we...
#AudioMo – a 30-day audioblogging challenge I’ve been looking forward to all year. And the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. If you’re an audio freak or geek, or new to podcasting and have been sitting on the fence about whether or not to start a podcast of your own,...
This week, Suge Knight ’96, creatine, Coach Clay evolution, potential merch held up over oil dispute and image rights, and a fair bit of loud music from your hosts, the EXTROVERT Clay Lowe and the introvert Daniel Ruiz Tizon. Hello Good People, Happy Friday! Are you ready for the weekend?...
We had a great time on the Digital Calm show last night. The chatbox was on fire. On the episode itself, we dove into the question: do the ends justify the means? We also found out that Clay Lowe is dead – long live DJ Soulcruzer! And we may have...
If you missed Tuesday’s Digital Calm show live, then here’s the replay.Just a reminder, the show streams live every Tuesday from 8 – 9:30 PM. If you download the Mixcloud app (search soulcruzer) you can have the show on the go with you while driving or walking the dog. This...
After a year of Zoom meetings, we now need to relearn how to look people in the eyes in order to establish trust.
What do you do when your co-host has the hump? Nothing you can do in those circumstances, but soldier on! In this episode, Clay introduces his intermittently crabby co-host to ‘geocache’ which Daniel clearly has trouble grasping, before the duo get into it over the American’s longstanding aversion to email....
In which I discover I can’t do it all, much to my dismay.
I’m feeling a little lighter today. Maybe because it’s Thursday and the work week is coming to a close. Or maybe it’s because I’m lifting heavy weights again after a year off because of the pandemic. Doesn’t matter. What matters had a good lunch session on soulcruzer on the radio,...
