Closer Sessions: Recent Episodes
Joel Duntin | Cariboo Studios
Closer Sessions is a gathering of music, stories, optimism, and hopefully, community - for the creative, curious and contemplative soul. Hosted by Joel Duntin, this is a podcast for the stories waiting to be told. The stories that bring us closer. Stories that help us see each other clearer and the stories that inspire us to wonder.
One of the most beautiful memories I have of my mom is her singing. And I can see it right now. I can see her staring out a window, looking off into the distance. And she would sing.
Sometimes, they were happy songs. Sometimes, they were songs mixed with sorrow. But even to this day, those songs would find their way through space and time, and they would always be there when I needed them most.

When I was a boy, I spent a lot of time on this island. And, way before screen reflections and status updates, life was filled with moments.We sat with the sounds of cricketsWe laughed till our bellies cramped.We sang songs and dreamt of tomorrowWe covered our facesGot caught in the rhythms...Life was full of fireflies and bonfiresThe old folk told storiesAnd they were these living, breathing stories...nudging us to be still....So let’s welcome this moment.Stories at evening’s lightFireflies and bonfires Wild and beautiful.-Fireflies and Bonfires

And I've spoken to enough people over the last three years to know that a lot of us are struggling. Some of us have been extremely lucky. We were fortunate to find ourselves in the right places with the right people who see us for who we truly are. But a lot of us have also found ourselves in places where the idea of authenticity is talked about as the gold standard. But it is not actually welcomed. And it's the most heartbreaking thing ever! Living a lie day in and day out worrying about the room, instead of our heart. #TellABetterStory
