On this edition, we commence with some obtuse voicemail transmissions, we visit a park near the edge of the forest where mass realization is occurring that peace and quiet are diminishing, and a man's search for jellybeans fails. We continue with an audio collage called "Mixed Messages" by audio artist Michael Pounds, we hear a brief reminiscing about ripping off or being ripped off by BMG Music and Columbia House's multiple CDs for a penny deal, just before a neighborhood realization of the distressed bellows of a goat. As the episode meanders to a close, Jean Gibson reflects upon wind's effects on wind chimes, Chris Fox shares a reflection of Astoria, Oregon, then we hear it - the Spirit of the Forest.
Featuring the voices of Cheyne Willems, various voicemail callers, Dan Crall, Chris Fox, John Crall, Jean Gibson, neighbor John, and the musical / sonic contributions of Michael Pounds, the Bran Flakes, the Lube City Ramblers, Jeph Jerman, and Milieu, this episode was mostly recorded around May 2015 in Corvallis, Oregon; though bits of the audio come from different times and places.
