"What do you make of assisted dying? Is it an act of compassion, or does it cross a line? Would a change in the law put pressure on those who already feel they’re a burden on society? Could history have anything to tell us?"

ABR#34 Andrew Boyd Reflection April 25 Assisted Dying

Originally aired on the Voice of Vashon KVSH 101.9FM on 06/01/2025.

https://voiceofvashon.org/show/sunday-silence/

SUNDAY SILENCE returns, after a short hiatus, as a monthly show. Thanks for sticking around. I return shouldering the weight of a mind flushed with the quiet, searching ache of a clarity that doesn’t come easy. This episode explores what it means to sit with that uncertainty—to be swept up in a sea change and still reach for bridges: intimacies, distractions, small joys that hold us taut against the tension of the unresolved. When answers fall away, is there still meaning in the asking? In staying vulnerable, in letting curiosity guide us, in continuing to pry our honesty wide open? Maybe this is just a simple reminder that stillness is not stagnation; even the murky depths can be a fertile ground for something unseen to stir and grow.

SUNDAY SILENCE #17: Log Jam, Pith Daze

"What is it about walking and talking that helps us to find ourselves? For thousands of years, there have been pilgrimages, long, hard walks to holy places to take time out to discover our deeper meaning. Now pilgrimage has come to TV."

#GTWD 346 - God-tracking is praising God while you wait for that door to open

Aired on the Voice of Vashon KVSH 101.9FM on 07/06/2025.

https://voiceofvashon.org/show/sunday-silence/

In 1851, an English astronomer established the Greenwich Meridian—a geographical reference that passes through the Royal Observatory in London. In 1884, the International Meridian Conference asserted the Greenwich Meridian as the universal standard prime meridian for zero degrees longitude. In 1894, an anarchist carried a bomb through Greenwich Park, intending to destroy the public clock of the Royal Observatory, with which time clocks throughout Britain were synchronized; the bomb exploded prematurely, but the thunder repeats like an irregular heart… 

Time is not just measure, but a shadow-play, a median drawn in silence, a subtle line slicing through the skin of the world. This month—in the place where desire, dominion, and memory meet—we are exploring music that does not merely decorate a time signature, but that consecrates historical wounds and devotes itself to reckoning. This is a music that refuses the sterility of perfection in favor of texture, vulnerability, and dissonance.

SUNDAY SILENCE #18: Sync Error (0°)

Originally aired on the Voice of Vashon KVSH 101.9FM on 08/03/2025.

https://voiceofvashon.org/show/sunday-silence/

From within our age of the militarized use of sound, of sonic warfare—which Steve Goodman defines as the use of force via acoustic machines to modulate bodies and populations—this episode is something very humble: a deep acknowledgement of the many ways in which underground and experimental Black Atlantic music culture offers us the opportunity to hear the world otherwise, to encounter something literally unheard of. This episode of Sunday Silence, then, does nothing more than look around this sonic battlefield, clutching this acknowledgement close to its chest—and listens. Featuring favorites old and new from Dedekind Cut, Kelman Duran, Qur'an Shaheed, Ashley Holmes, Niecy Blues, and fragments from Little Egypt Collective’s 2024 short film, On the Battlefield.

SUNDAY SILENCE #19: On the Battlefield

Originally aired on the Voice of Vashon KVSH 101.9FM.

https://voiceofvashon.org/show/sunday-silence/

This episode originates in a twinned experience: beholding Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s photograph, The Vapor of Melancholy (2014); and the beginning of a dream called Ale. Weerasethakul’s work is a quiet, explosive portrait of his sleeping partner exhaling smoke as fireworks bloom—a vision suspended between desire, premonition, and evanescence. Whether the photograph prepared me for a startling intimacy, or this intimacy helped me to retroactively enter the portal beckoning within this photograph, I don’t think I can yet say—likely both and neither. As a spectral character intones in Weeasethakul’s film, Tropical Malady (2004): “Every drop of my blood sings our song—a song of happiness. There... do you hear it?” Inviting you (you) to glimpse the light left behind in the wake of love, to feel the warmth of a creature emergent on your skin, to follow me into the  gateway coruscating in the darkness of her eyes.

SUNDAY SILENCE #20: She Said the Things the Way She Said Them

Originally aired on the Voice of Vashon KVSH 101.9FM on 09/07/2025.

https://voiceofvashon.org/show/sunday-silence/

This episode of SUNDAY SILENCE explores the desires woven into the tissue of our words—those strange, beautiful, sometimes terrifying forces that bind and undo us; a meditation, a lingering: on radical longing, on possession as presence beyond ownership, on the gateways the curiosity of our passion opens between us. From the ecstatic vulnerability of devotion, this hour is a love avant la lettre—a gesture, not a demand—dedicated to the you that calls us back, again and again, to find, to be found. Featuring Fuya Fuya & Entrañas, Mica Levi, and Areliz Ramos.

SUNDAY SILENCE #21: Etymologies

"This month sees World Suicide Prevention Day. It’s timely, because there’s been a spate of teenagers taking their lives, after seeking comfort in AI chatbots. But instead of helping them, it’s claimed they’ve made matters worse."
