Season 3:

Memoir as Metaphor. Drawing from all of her writings, and presented for you as her whim and as the times dictates, these short readings mostly by Carolyn herself, interspersed with the occasional interview, are meant to comfort us all in these weird times. The season kicks off with readings from her adventures in the standing stones in Brittany, called Voices out of Stone and continues with readings from Experience of a Lifetime, Living Fully Dying Consciously.
Various writings by Carolyn North.

Season 4:

Freeflow Stories. Season 4 of the podcast is a serialised audio book of Carolyn’s book, Freeflow Stories, published in Winter, 2022 by ICRL Press. Continuing in the tradition of Musings on the Passing Scene, and Carolyn’s blog, these two-or-three-page essays are real-life and humorous. They shed light on the weirdness of 21 Century Planet, offering cookies and milk for the weary. As Carolyn says, “We’ve got this, folks!”
