Sabrina Artel's Trailer Talk can now be heard every Friday at 2pm on WJFF Radio Catskill 90.5FM in Jeffersonville, New York.
Trailer Talk is a public conversation that always includes many more people during the live event than are included in the audio program. In all cases the audio program which is the secondary component of the Trailer Talk project is only a portion of the conversations shared at my mobile kitchen table. I am grateful to all of the participants during Trailer Talk both inside and outside of the trailer. Everyone who participates in Trailer Talk is important to both the live and the recorded audio event. Thanks so much to everyone for joining in on the conversations!

Details: Energy Symposium:Mountaintop Removal & More 4.24.09 The little Beeline and I traveled last spring to the Poconos in Pennsylvania to participate in an Energy Symposium hosted by the Homestead School in Glen Spey, New York. I had never before met the founder of the school, Peter Comstock who also organized this event. Our meeting changed me in numerous ways. Not only was I introduced to the amazingly articulate and engaged students of the school but I met some of the West Virginian heroes fighting the massive energy companies that through Mountaintop Removal are destroying their homes, their health and their communities. What are we doing, Mountaintop Removal? It seems obvious that the framework we have created is killing us and/or our neighbors and our children. Moving from the city to the country has deeply impacted me as I’ve become more aware of the importance of the land, of nature and my dependence on it. My heart broke as I spoke with the West Virginians about the destruction of their lives in coal mining territory and my participation in that devastation. Thank you Brenda and Amber McCoy, Larry Gibson, Jeff Barrie and the kids with an "alternate attitude" from the Green Power Alliance. After spending the day at the Energy Symposium in PA and being invited by Larry Gibson to his mountaintop home in Kayford, West Virginia, the Homestead School generously decided to hold a school fundraiser so they could sponsor Trailer Talk in West Virginia. Thanks again Pete and the Homestead School for making the journey possible. Please remember that Trailer Talk is always looking for sponsors and every dollar helps keep me on the road, talking with all of you!
