  Taste in Music - Eating on Tour...

  Luke Pyenson, Alex Bleeker

  Through original essays and engaging conversations with dozens of indie musicians representing several subgenres, scenes, and eras, food takes center stage in stories about being on tour and eating on tour and how this basic human necessity can create a sense of community and interconnectedness in one of the most mobile industries in the world. Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along—food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like. 
   
   
   
  Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care. 
   
   
   
  So the question isn't, "How was tour?" It's, "What do you eat on tour?" Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience. They show us all the ways that music and food bring us together, break us down, lift us up, and add color to our lives.

  Who's a Good Dog? - And How to...

  Who's a Good Dog? is an invitation to nurture more thoughtful and balanced relationships with our canine companions. By deepening our curiosity about what our dogs are experiencing, and by working together with them, we can become more effective and compassionate caregivers. 
   
   
    
  With sympathy for the challenges met by both dogs and their humans, bioethicist Jessica Pierce explores common practices of caring for dogs, including how we provide exercise, what we feed, how and why we socialize and train, and how we employ tools such as collars and leashes. She helps us both to identify potential sources of fear and anxiety in our dogs' lives and to expand practices that provide physical and emotional nourishment. Who's a Good Dog? also encourages us to think more critically about what we expect of our dogs and how these expectations can set everyone up for success or failure. Pierce offers resources to help us cultivate attentiveness and kindness, inspiring us to practice the art of noticing, of astonishment, of looking with fresh eyes at these beings we think we know so well. And more than this, she makes her findings relatable by examining facets of her relationship with Bella, the dog in her life. As Bella shows throughout, all dogs are good dogs, and we, as humans and dog guardians, could be doing a little bit better to get along with them.

  AV on History - Amelia Earhart

  In July 1937, Amelia Earhart disappeared over the Pacific Ocean during the final leg of her attempt to fly around the world. Despite one of the most extensive search efforts in modern history, no definitive answer has ever been recorded. 
  AV on History: Amelia Earhart presents her disappearance as it was experienced at the time—through official reports, radio transmissions, press coverage, and the historical record as it stands today. This is not a biographical tribute, nor a speculative true-crime retelling. It is a documented investigation into what was known, what was reported, and where the record ultimately ends. 
  Narrated by Caesar Esturco, with dramatized performances by Rebecca Heddinger, this episode blends historical documentation with restrained dramatization to recreate the tension, uncertainty, and global attention surrounding Earhart’s final flight. The story unfolds through timelines, locations, and confirmed communications, allowing the mystery to emerge through absence rather than conjecture. 
  AV on History is a documentary audio series that examines pivotal historical moments that remain unresolved—not to solve them, but to present them clearly, accurately, and responsibly. 
  This is history as it was recorded. 
  And where it stopped.
