Full Expression Season Two Production is Underway

Production of our next season has begun. Here is a quick preview of a few of our upcoming guests.

Matt Goulding is the co-founder of the independent media company Roads & Kingdoms. He’s also the author of Grape, Olive, Pig: Deep Travels Through Spain’s Food Culture. This book was so outstanding I had to track Matt down for a conversation. Our talk ranged from his 20-year food writing career, to how and why he moved to Spain, and working with the late Anthony Bourdain.

David Quaamen is a Montana-based science, nature, and travel writer. His books on evolutionary biology include The Song of the Dodo and The Tangled Tree. His articles have appeared in Outside Magazine, National Geographic, Harper’s, Rolling Stone, The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, and other periodicals.

New EP Recorded in Catalonia

In November 2022, I went back into the studio with the outstanding musicians I worked with on the “Gratitude” album the year before. Jaume Guerra Meneu and I spent many months going over arrangements and we returned to Estudis Ground for three days of recording followed by three shows in and around Barcelona. The new EP features three original songs and a cover (of a favorite by The Police) all arranged with the mindset of achieving a dynamic yet minimalist sound. While the recordings are now in the mixing phase you can expect to hear new songs sometime in 2023 and a series of shows in Catalonia and  beyond with the band that recorded them. Jaume Guerra Meneu, bass; Pep Terricabras, percussion; Raúl Marc Portell, keyboards; Elias Martinez, guitar; Xiluva Tomas, vocals; Sandra Rodriguez, vocals. 

Rewilding

Rewilding is a concept that’s been on my mind for many decades. This spring I’ve had an excellent opportunity to have some long conversations with a few of Europe’s leading practitioners. You can read about Rewilding and a report on the First Global Meeting of Conservation Translocation Practitioners held in Valencia, Spain in May 2022 in the most recent Me and My Planet post.
