Episode 95 – From Inspiration to Action
It’s not easy taking creative ideas and fleeting inspirational moments and transforming them into action, but this week’s show is about just that. Plus, as an added bonus you can hear Atley’s feminist rant against the patriarchal paradigm of masculinity being associated with the light and the positive, while femininity gets seen as the darkness and the negative. Other random bits and pieces this week include an obituary for the now defunct Mevio Music Alley website, a really inspirational story of how one man’s simple idea of scrap soap bits from hotels is now cleaning up third world countries, and a very common machine at the gym that you might want to steer clear of.
