While my day-to-day life is more local than it has ever been, more and more I\u2019m drawn to shows about travel, fantasizing about cuisines from around the world, learning about other cultures, and I wonder what other people\u2019s lives are like. Traveling in the mind. This week, we have music by lydia ievins, Wild Asparagus, Mary Lea, and Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand. Julie reads poems by Rumi and Charles Baudelaire, and Ben Williams reads a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Take care, everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Episode Summary<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>1.
