The Children’s Fire forges a trail into Britain’s wild and ancient Celtic past. In the winter of 2009 Mac Macartney walked from his birthplace in England across Wales to the island of Anglesey, once the spiritual epicenter of Late Iron Age Britain, navigating by the sun and the stars, with no map, compass, stove, or tent, and in the coldest winter for many years. The Children’s Fire records that journey, and seeks to lay bare the aching loss of knowing and understanding sacredness as it applies to everything ordinary that brings joy to the human heart.

The first time I went to Barcelona, I registered to go to an improv drop-in. It's a place where you can show up to do improv for two hours. In the first game, we all had to place ourselves in order according to the latitude of our home city. The circle formed this day in Barcelona went from Sydney to Vancouver! After these two hours, all of us went to a nearby bar and talked. I was in front of a woman from Austria who had taken her year off from teaching to discover theaters all over the world. We discussed during one hour about what she had discovered in London, Tokyo and Rhode Island. Now...

A podcast about People Interacting with People. In April 2015, I became homeless. I decided to embrace this homelessness and what followed was five years of nomadic life, over 250 moves in Canada and the United States, on an average budget of roughly $22 a day. While sitting in a 24 hour diner in Toronto on my first two homeless nights, a young man sat beside me and when I told him about my experience - spending 9 hours each night at the diner, getting a free coffee and a brownie on my second night - he turned to me and asked: "Do you think you'd be having the same experience if you were ...

On the freeways of southern California, my sister Joanna used to do this thing when traffic was bad where she’d stick her head out the window and point to where she was (attempting) to merge. Now if you’ve ever driven in such a situation, you’ll understand that people don’t tend to enjoy another car taking up one more space between them and their destination. In fact, they’ll often speed up just to make sure it doesn’t happen. However, when she stuck her head out and looked at the person in the lane over, she was given the space to merge, every time. Any short or long term Angeleno...

Welcome to an introduction to Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican Mythology in the form of stories that have been told since the time before the Spanish conquest. These stories have been preserved through oral historians and Spanish codices.Indigenous Mesoamerican Folklore is naturally intense, but the stories I have collaborated together for this podcast have been toned down for today’s time period. The violent nature of these stories reflects the time and culture they come from. It was admired to sacrifice for the greater good.Ignorance mostly destroyed the Ancient Indigenous culture and I aim to ...
