Switching Title

Society EN ↓ 114 episodes

Now in its seventh season, Switching Title has evolved into a weekly rotation of three sub-series: The flagship titular series can be described as freeform-personal journal-styled and mostly covers bicycling, birding, movies, and music. The Places series publishes field recordings of different locations. That's it. Cacophonous Revel began following a "Radio Show" format to share other artists' music, and currently continues as a project to reveal stories and memories related to and along with the host's original music and their recordings.

ST 10 - My Favorite Things 19.11.2022

Cheating on 31 Days of Halloween Movies and all of the ratings proves I’m a necro-student. Brilliant insomniac hiking ideas and Dark Throne.

That’s a good beet! I can’t recap Survivor. Holding still, peak leaf peeping on the Overall Run Falls in Shenandoah. Oh! There’s a buck! Spooky forest hiking sounds and sights. I watch too many movies - like The Edge. Bird Update: Nuthatch City, and I got a Hairy one. Birding Haikus and music ideas. Roadkill and the fall. Spooky squirrels and Robert E. Howard.

ST 07 - Halloween Ends. Or Does It? 29.10.2022

Current Halloween franchise marathon. Prepping for a 5K. I have a terrible memory. To theater, or not to theater? I’m a weather-guy fan-boy. Sorry Matthew Cappucci, I haven’t read your book yet. A few other movie ratings and I keep talking about how tired I am.

ST 06 - Higher than a Hawk 22.10.2022

Describing the descriptions. It’s the most wonderful time of the year - fall that is. Hurricane Ian has arrived and review of the movie Smile. Do I have enough to talk about and stage fright.

Movie reviews: Nope and Prey. Glamping at Elizabeth Furnace Site Number 9, bugscapes, Strasburg Reservoir, and taking it slow. “It just popped in there.” The majestic Cardinal Flower and elusive Yellow-bill...

ST 03 - Hopefully 01.10.2022

I’m a nosey neighbor. Excuses, excuses. Checking out protesting. Frogs and dreams. How much closer are you to silence? Tracking time, and the Fairfax County Parkway challenge. Quietude and movie reviews and titles. I have friends, I swear!
