The Zizile

Welcome to Twice 5 Miles Radio. James Navé here. I'm thrilled to have filmmaker Walon Green as my guest in this episode. Walon reflects on the environmental changes since his Oscar-winning documentary, The Hellstorm Chronicle, was released in 1972. He emphasizes the battle between humans and insects that has lasted for millennia, pointing out that insects seem to be winning. Walon warns that if we don't alter our ways, humanity could face extinction sooner rather than later. Nevertheless, Walon highlights that we have the means to live in harmony with the planet if we choose to do so. The conversation starts with Walon discussing his passion for the natural world, including his love for falcons. Enjoy the show!

Where Did You Sleep Last Night?

Provocative Conversations from Twice 5 Miles Radio is a podcast devoted to candid, often surprising exchanges with artists, thinkers, and cultural instigators who speak from the core. Each episode dives beneath the surface to explore the stories and questions that shape our lives.

I’m James Navé—poet, storyteller, educator, and longtime creative collaborator. With an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and decades of teaching experience across the globe, I help writers and performers tap into their authentic voices through public speaking, creative writing, and the Imaginative Storm method, which I co-developed with Allegra Huston.

My most recent book, 100 Days: A Poetic Memoir After Cancer (3: A Taos Press), documents a hundred days of healing and poetic reckoning. I’m also co-author of Write What You Don’t Know and How to Read for an Audience—practical guides for anyone seeking to speak and write with more truth and power.

I’ve directed festivals, hosted literary salons, taught with Julia Cameron, and memorized over 600 poems. I still believe in the power of a well-told story, the light through stained glass, and the open road with nothing but a podcast and a windshield full of stars.
