A show about bodies of water. 

River Radio is produced by Paddle Clubb, a slow canoe collective in Perth, Western Australia. Sourcing old canoes cheaply on gumtree, a community emerged to look after and manage this communal resource of canoes, kayaks and surf skis with the aim of encouraging more people to get out on the Swan River (Derbal Yerrigan) and connect more deeply with place. 

Inspired by pyscho-geography and the 'dérive', we set out to reclaim the contested public space of the Swan River as a place of self reflection, healing and dreaming.  Each episode will investigate a different section of a body of water through story. 

All the rivers flow into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, there they flow again. Ecclesiastes 1:7

Kumu Ho’okele Ola - Teacher Life Navigator
Kumu La’akea Rumsey
 
Kumu (Teacher) La'akea was called to Hawaii through her dreams and began her journey on the island of Molokai, where she was a stroker and steersman in the wa’a (canoe) for 7 years, learning to paddle and navigate through some of the most treacherous waters in the world. 
 
Again, her dreams guided her way to Puna on Big Island where she studied Ho’opono Pono Ke Ala - Making Right, More Right the Path based in the Aloha Spirit with Kumu Mahealani Kaiwikuamo’okekua’okalani Henry:
Kumu 'Elele O Na Kupuna, (teacher, messenger for the ancestors).
 
“The Life Navigator is one chosen by Na Kupuna (the ancestors) and her Kumu to serve as the steersman in the Kino Ke Ala (the human pathway aligning with the Universe).
Pu'uwaila'akea (the Sacred Light in the Heart space), holds true to one so named with her Kiakahi (purpose) to help others to light up to their own greatness!" says Kumu Mahealani.
 
Fully immersed in the Hawaiian culture and spirituality for 8 years, she learned to apply the tools and principles of Ho’opono Pono Ke Ala - Making Right, More Right the Path.
 
Together with her knowledge and experiences in paddling canoe and her honored role as Alaka'I (Assistant, Apprentice), she shares insights in navigating the waters of life as Human in balanced connection with Spirit.
 
Kumu La'akea offers talk story classes in navigating life based in the Aloha Spirit, private Life Navigating sessions and Energy Healings.

From 1985, I have been involved in water sports and more specifically paddling. Over a 30 year sporting career, I have had the opportunity to represented club and country in sprint canoeing and surf life saving. Halfway through my professional career, I felt myself being drawn to coaching and after retiring from the Australian Institute of Sport Canoe Unit in the mid 2000's, I starting my own professional coaching business called Paddle 2 Fitness. Why? Because I saw a gap in the paddling space for individuals wishing to learn how to surf ski paddle and access professionally written training programs. Paddle 2 Fitness was one of the first professional coaching businesses in Australia and since starting, we have coached thousand's of development, intermediate and elite athletes. Now we see an opportunity in the podcast space with no one coaching paddlers on how to improve their technique. We hope we are able to fill this space and teach you the rights and wrongs of surf ski paddling techniques while helping to improve your surf ski paddling efficiency.

Euphony got their start in 2005 as a side project. The Wallberg brothers wanted to play in a band together and Simon ”Kaffe” Meyers wanted to be a lead singer in a band, instead of just playing the drums. He was already playing drums in ”Six Enough”, which was his main project together with Marcus. They played together without any real pretentions or genres in mind, and rehearsals were relatively sparse until 2007, when the project was cancelled. At this point they decided to get serious, moving to a rehearsal space closer to downtown Stockholm. At the same time, however, the current bass player Magnus Berg decided to leave, and the search for a new bassist began.
 
Max brought in his friend Johan Wahlström, and the band began working on their first demo. The demo was finished in 2008. During this period the band started getting some gigs, among them one on the fabled big stage at Kungsträdgården. The band felt ready to start putting some real effort into the band, but unfortunately the bass player Johan had to leave the band to focus on other things. Thus, the search for a bass player resumed.
 
Just a few months later they found Onur Elibol, who was looking for a band in Sweden to play with. They knew from the first time Onur tuned up his bass that he was the right man for the job. This was the start of a very positive period for the band, and it lead to the release of the split single Caged Magister/Choking in 2009. The following summer Euphony once again took the stage at Kungsträdgården, this time by their own accord. All good things must come to an end, however. Onur had trouble supporting himself in Sweden, and ultimately had to return to Turkey, where jobs as a musician were waiting for him. Once again Euphony was up **** creek without a paddle, without a bass player. Back up on the horse again!
 
This search ended when finding Hans Lindberg, a seasoned bassist with a tasteful style of play. Work was resumed, but before they had a chance to record their debut album they faced an all too familiar issue; Hans (father of a bunch of children and husband to a wife), who lived over an hour’s drive away had to cut down on some things to make time for work and family and…
 
…well, Euphony was cut. Now the depression of the band had reached its peak, and for a great while nothing happened. Eventually they decided to continue working without a permanent bass player in the band, and bring in a temp when the occasion called for it. After working like this for a period of time, they received a tip about a bass player, and thought ”we might as well try him out”. This resulted in Samuel Vidén joining the band, a former musician turned law student, and the depression was lifted from Euphony. Since then they have been working actively towards finishing the recording of their debut album, which hopefully will see the light of day during 2013. They will be pursuing gigs during the recording process.

From the humble beginnings of strumming on the sands and busking to starring on the pier The Shellies have traveled far (well a few hundred meters or so) in a short space of time. What's more they have every intention of jigging over the hills and far, far away.
Join the band in their coastal experience and ride along on a few waves (or at the very least join them for a paddle.)

'[Empire, Alive's] canon provides respite in between the white noise of nights out. Influenced by the likes of Sigur Rós, the music of Empire, Alive seems to command a similar sonic space despite being from just one (small) man.'
Tom Stockley, Cornwall Music Seen 


'The haunting yet incredibly gratifying use of guitars, enhanced by the well-placed background noise and subtle use of percussive elements keeps you completely in awe while listening to the music produced by Empire, Alive. With his effective use of graduating colossal reverbs and very natural feel to every song, anyone with a taste for post rock will instantly fall in love.' - Sans Paddle Productions Compilation Album 'Mor Kanow Vol. 1'
