Roots Radio is a podcast about the Roots (https://roots.io) tools – a chance for us to talk with some folks doing cool things with their own Roots related WordPress projects, and general banter about modern web development.

Today's high-speed, high-anxiety social media merry-go-round is a 24/7 torrent of noise and flimflammery. As my sweet, now-departed mother-in-law would say, it's "crazy-making!"

MinnesotaSoundscapes.com is my small attempt to offer a measure of temporary relief from the madness. It's a collection of stereo sound portraits captured in quiet, remote locations across northern Minnesota. No music, just clean, spacious natural ambiences.

(WARNING: This material won't grab you by the ankles and swing you around in circles the way you might expect from some of your favorite music. If you choose to listen, be prepared to "throttle yourself back" and allow these nature soundscape recordings to settle over you in their own good time. If you're able to do that, there's a good chance that you might enjoy a rewarding listening experience.)
