My segment on Milwaukee Public Television with Outdoor Wisconsin has been pushed to next year! It seems the schedule for this year was filled before we even started filming. But don’t worry my story of self-discovery is as timeless as being human. The crew filmed me riding around Kohler-Andrae State Park for 3 hours. I was getting tired. And the interview only lasted about 15 minutes. It will be interesting to see what makes the silver screen, and how they interpret my thoughts on cycling Wisconsin vs the World.

I’ve also had a flurry of other media interest:

• Hopefully not-so-fleeting interest from National Geographic’s Locked Up Abroad.
• An article in The Waukesha Freeman about being a featured author at the SE WI Festival of Books.
• A radio interview with Michael Clish on WFAW. (Thanks to the Velveteen Rabbit Bookshop.)
• And a matching newspaper article in the Ft. Atkinson Daily Union.

I had another great interview on WPR’s Larry Meiller program. We talked a little about my trip around the world on a bicycle, and a lot about working with Poplar Creek Elementary school to illustrate the new book Falling Uphill: The Secret of Life. Listen to the interview.

Also Listen to my favorite interview the first time I was on Larry’s show.

Thanks to WPR for helping to sow the seeds of the school book project at many more schools.

How does going home constitute an essential aspect of travel? I share some of my ideas and discovery’s of returning to home after traveling the world.

Watch the video, approx. Min 22.

Rip Van Winkle has this to say about returning home:

‘He had now entered the skirts of the village. A troop of strange children ran at his heels, hooting after him, and pointing at his gray beard. The dogs, too, not one of which he recognized for an old acquaintance, barked at him as he passed. The very village was altered: it was larger and more populous. There were rows of houses which he had never seen before, and those which had been his familiar haunts had disappeared. Strange names were over the doors–strange faces at the windows–everything was strange. His mind now misgave him; he began to doubt whether both he and the world around him were not bewitched. Surely this was his native village, which he had left but a day before. There stood the Kaatskill mountains–there ran the silver Hudson at a distance–there was every hill and dale precisely as it had always been–Rip was sorely perplexed–”That flagon last night,” thought he, “has addled my poor head sadly!” ‘

I recently did an in-depth interview in Vancouver for Sustainable Futures with Ryan Fletcher. This two part episode features stories of my travels framed in the context of creating a sustainable future and the rise of a global consciousness. I postulate some theories I discovered during my long hours of meditation-bicycling, and even goofy opinions about such things as why bicycles are bad for the environment and the depletion of oxygen in our atmosphere.
