Radio Dreaming
There is an ancient Celtic tradition that the land remembers everything. Radio Dreaming explores how the land speaks through dreamers. An off-grid guide to dreaming homeplaces, Radio Dreaming whisks you over limestone hills, fragile boglands and into honeycomb caves to encounter an inspirational mythology of voices, dreams and traditional Irish music. This 6 part radio adventure takes you overground and underground in search of edible landscapes, wild dreams and the voices and myths of the land. Wild camping, kayaking and cycling their way through Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark, Anna Keleher (Devon, England) and Claire Coté (New Mexico) meet the people, places, creatures and things, whose diverse voices keep these limestone Geopark homelands alive. The last two episodes comprise “Radio Dreaming Off-Grid” and feature a variety of voices reflecting traditional and modern off-grid ideas and dreams collected from the Place-Dreamer Pod Tour return journey to the Irish Borderlands.

DREAMING PLACE 
lovely, Anna, I really enjoyed it
Hi Jan, That’s good to hear, will let you know when Episode 2 airs this summer.
Excellent work! I look forward to hearing the next episode.
Thanks, Michael. Glad you enjoyed it! The next Episode is in the works!
A wonderful project, reconnecting to and listening to inner/outer Nature is crucial in this time of ecological and ethical crisis. One thing I’d add though concerning the mentioned Irish potato famine is this: http://www.irishholocaust.org/thefoodremoval (it wasn’t just a natural disaster).
Also on bees, worth mentioning is that their massive decline (which can bring fruit and vegetable production to a halt) is due to the use of systemic pesticides which need to stop being used immediately: http://www.vanishingbees.com/
I know this project wasn’t an activist piece, so I add this more as a footnote than a critique, I really enjoyed listening. Peace.
Thanks for this validation of R.Dreaming!! comes at a good moment as we work daily over skype,(New Mexico and Devon) to bring Episode 2 Wild dreams and the Mythical fabric of the Land into being.
fabulous – loved listening to this at the end of long sessions of academic writing – can dream now
Thanks, Phil! Glad that you enjoyed the program. Appreciate the feedback!

Great you enjoyed it. There are 4 more episodes in the pipeline to be aired on Soundart and community radio throughout the world this summer.
I enjoyed your article “Lugares Soñados¨. Wonderful to see Claire and I and our beloved ¨DREAMING PLACE¨ contextualised in the wider cast of dreamers (y además en una publcación Castellano). Gracias y un abrazo de parte de nosotros, Anna y Claire.
