Summary

Xpedition Cafe - Soyuz = Union originally aired on 2 February 2021 as Episode 251. This was the first of the Xpedition Cafe shows which were intended to be a Sunday night family show in a style reminiscent  of old radio shows. My intent to was create a weekly show with live sound effects very much in the style of 1920s and 1930s radio, with a more modern influence of programs like NPR Fresh Air that was hosted by Terry Gross. The demands of time to prep these shows were too much to maintain on a weekly basis with daily programming at that time running between 5 and 6 shows a day plus Saturdays. The design and direction of this show however has been revived in our currently weekly show called The American Brand that airs each Sunday morning.  #BardsFM_BestOf#XpeditionCafe#TraditionalRadio Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

Good morning, Patriots, and welcome back to the continuation of the best of Bard's FM.

0:05.3

That's what this entire week is dedicated to. And I know I've said this a number of times,

0:09.2

but just for those people who haven't been following this week's episodes, this entire week

0:15.3

was sorted and selected by a team led by our two mods, Nikki and Janet in the UK, with input from others.

0:24.4

And the selection is over a span of about 3,950 episodes.

0:29.7

So I asked them to choose 11 episodes, and they did.

0:33.3

And it's a rather amazing journey as we go through this.

0:37.2

And part of these brief introductions

0:39.0

I'm giving is to try to put some of these shows in context. Today's episode is episode 251.

It was the first expedition cafe episode and it was titled Soyuz equals Union. This is a real

0:53.1

interesting episode for me to go back through and listen to.

0:56.0

There was a lot of new ideas that I was trying to experiment with.

0:59.7

It goes back something like 3,800 episodes or something.

1:03.0

So it's a long time back.

1:04.6

But what I was looking at was how we could go beyond just doing a daily podcast on news and

1:09.9

events and analysis of world events and how we

1:13.7

could bring something more important into our lives, the things that enrich us.

1:18.4

Expedition Cafe was launched on this show here, and this was originally launched on February 7th,

1:25.6

2021. This show did not last in the way that I had expected it to.

1:31.8

However, it has been revived in the American brand, which we now do every Sunday morning.

1:36.7

And I think it's reflective of the early steps in this podcast of my heart, which was to be
