Episode 157: Mastantuono to depart for Madrid, River to depart for Seattle

Neil Shepard was interviewed by Climate Stories Ambassador, Valerie Esposito. In this excerpt, Neil describes his town of Johnson, Vermont and how the town was built along a river that now poses an existential threat to the area due to more frequent damaging floods. After a recent flood, locals came together to reimagine how the town could interact with the river in new ways going forward, which included relocating the town library and grocery store to higher ground.

LYRIC (Blood of West Virginia)

Shots ring out it’s a river of blood
Black blood, white blood, Red River flood
Culture war clash just beyond midnight
Lives getting smashed into next day’s light

Rapid water rushes south of Shenandoah Hill
Millville River running past the old stone mill
Nations lack of courage putting mettle to the test
While bodies of the dead men are laid to rest

Ankle deep in water my heart makes the only sound
Straddling the border both feet firmly on the ground
Should we find an answer could we ever make a deal
Like a burning cancer will the wounded ever heal

Shots ring out it’s a river of blood
Black blood, white blood, Red River flood
Cultures will clash just beyond midnight
Lives getting smashed into next day’s light

Fork at Harpers Ferry nearly split us down the middle
Such a cost for freedom will the issues ever settle
Whispers from the voices never ever to be heard
Critics make our choices with the pen and spoken word

Shots ring out it’s a river of blood
Black blood, white blood, Red River flood
Cultures will clash just beyond midnight
Lives getting smashed into next day’s light

“De perdidos al río” is a Spanish idiom that literally means:
"if we're already lost — let's jump into the river."

In the literal sense, it refers to someone driven to the edge, who jumps into a river out of despair.
In the figurative sense, it expresses the idea that when everything is lost, a person chooses to take a risk — the lesser of two evils.

This piece illustrates the perspective of a person from the bottom of the river, having jumped in out of hopelessness — a moment of surrender, but also strange clarity. It captures the emotional state of someone who, after losing everything, views life from a place where no further fall is possible.

RiverSong, at fifty seven 
Carrying dreams, nomads heaven				
Fleeting’s gone, a narrow progression		
Idyllic scenes, incandescent

RiverSong, locks and bridges
Soothing views, The Cuts riches   
Strum along, as nature listens			
Dance and sing, to memories; kisses

RiverSong, time to ponder
Space to think, minds to wander
Soul responds, notes conjure
Secret loves, lost to; yonder

RiverSong, RiverSong
How many more summers, have you got
How many more mistakes, before you’re lost

The rivers song, inner calling
Soul awoken, to canal story
The rivers song, lose the mask
Discover meaning, follow the path
RiverSong, RiverSong

RiverSong, evades the pain
Worldly turmoil, where chaos reigns
Composing wrongs, you can’t forget
Sharing tales, progress should; regret 

RiverSong, confessions written
A last hurrah, escaping prison
Desires shone, life’s forgiven
Rest before peace, the final; mission

RiverSong, RiverSong
How many more summers, have you got
How many more mistakes, before you’re lost

The rivers song, inner calling
Soul awoken, to canal story
The rivers song, lose the mask
Discover meaning, follow the path
RiverSong, RiverSong

How many more summers, have you got
How many more mistakes, before your forgot

Feral Practice and local MP Gideon Amos talk about wild swimming and water quality. 
Gideon lives in Taunton and swims most Saturdays after Park Run, so he is passionate about the River Tone. He helped to run the successful campaign to gain bathing water status for the river in French Weir Park. Gideon and Fiona discuss the LibDem calls for Ofwat to be abolished, plus a gamut of water-quality issues including sewage, planning, farming, dogs, retrofitting, ecocide and raft racing.


TONAL - Gideon Amos and Feral Practice discuss water quality

“River” is an emotional yet uplifting pop song that tells the story of a woman who was told she could never have children. After surviving years of violent relationships, she finally finds peace and stability in a loving, grounded partnership. The turning point comes in a quiet moment at a charity shop, where an older woman says to her, “You never stand in the same river twice.” That moment inspires the name of her daughter: River.

The song blends vulnerability with strength, celebrating transformation, healing, and the beauty of second chances. Despite her past, the woman chooses joy, and “River” becomes both a name and a metaphor — for life’s constant change, for resilience, and for the daughter she was never supposed to have.

Climate Stories Project (CSP) is an educational and artistic forum for sharing personal stories about the effects of climate change on our lives and communities. CSP focuses on personal oral histories, which bring an immediacy to the sometimes abstract nature of climate change communication. Some of us may recount dramatic events such as floods and wildfires, or we may address our observations of changes in seasonal patterns and our fears for the future of our families and communities. We may discuss how climate change is forcing our communities to adapt to extreme weather and sea level rise. Or we may speak about how we are getting involved in the movement to fight the fossil fuel industry through community organizing or nonviolent protest.There is no "right" way to talk about climate change, as it is a vast topic that is increasingly touching every corner of our lives. CSP also facilitates educational workshops where students learn to speak about their own responses to climate change and interview guest speakers about theirs. In addition, some climate stories are featured in music and soundscape projects that allow audiences to witness the effects of climate change in a novel way.
