Why Guitar is the perfect host for the Firelight Radio podcast
By Campfire Park
Many have asked:
Why does a talking guitar host your podcast?
Firelight Radio presents: Rocks are Fun
First, you can’t have a Nature Folk Movement (NFM) without a guitar at a campfire. So who not better to host Firelight Radio than a guitar? Really the idea of the podcast is to generate a laidback feel. You know, just discussing things in a conversational tone around a campfire. After several auditions – an electric guitar, a walrus and a piece of Tamiami Caprock also applied – we felt that an acoustic guitar would hit the right chord with listeners.
The only problem: Despite his name and shape, guitar doesn’t play guitar very well. All he can really do is strum. Fortunately he’s a pretty good conversationalist so we are pretty forgiving on the musical front.
Second, the Firelight Radio podcast isn’t just about the water. It’s programming spans widely across a range of topics relevant to the Nature Folk Movement (NFM). For example, Singer/songwriter Bobby Angel is a regular guest, as is the Cowboy at the Campfire, a phone-eating dinosaur named Dino, and others. And third, who doesn’t love a guitar by a campfire? Our research indicated not many.
So there you have it, that’s why we have a talking guitar hosting our podcast. If that doesn’t make any sense, give it a listen and hopefully, eventually, you’ll also agree.
Every year Berkshire and Hathaway …
Gather to talk about their oodles of money.
That’s great, and I don’t mean to condemn. But where are those same stakeholders and steering committees convening when it comes to preservation of our natural resources?
Try not to overthink a song. Go with what pops in your head, run with it, and don’t stop until you cross the finish line.

Buck hits the road
For AM Radio Host “In The Bunker” with Buck Buckner, the usually means hunkering down in the place he knows best, and where he can broadcast has thoughts far and wide — in the safety and sanctity of his bunker. As for who’s actually listening, even if it’s only one person (and that one person is Buck), it’s worth the cause. Or do you sometimes have to venture outside the comfort zone to reach new crowds? Buck finds himself oddly reenergized as he hits the road.
Buck Buckner is an AM Radio host at Campfire Park.

Nobody sets out for their weekend to turn into an algorithm, nor do you expect to show up on Monday to discover that your flagship website isn’t working quite like it should.
P.S. Firelight Radio is available on Apple Podcasts and PodbeanAdd block
The positive news is that I went for two runs and three walks and had two eureka moments along the way. I’m not saying I have things completely figured out. But by the end of Monday, I turned the lemons of having to revert to a “backup(p)ed” version (I can’t seem to spell that word) of my website only to serve as inspiration to reformat the entire front page. After about two hours I finally got it to looking semi-right. In retrospect, I’m not convinced the breakdown wasn’t a blessing in disguise. It forced me to admit that the old formatting wasn’t quite working.
But my larger point: Really, the whole point about the Nature Folk Flyer is to connect myself and my audience to nature. Why is it then that I seem to be spending equal shares of my time working through the minutia and archania of the computer matrix? It didn’t help that the internet was down when I arrived home at the end of the day. Keep in mind by this time I had discovered that my website was seizing up, and entire pages weren’t appearing when clicked. After a quick inspect of a couple work-arounds, and a hesitancy to try to contact technical support which is always by chat, and not very good: I simply took the bull by the horns and reverted to a backup copy of my site. And as I said, that served as inspiration to reformat and reconsider my old structural design.
The result? I’d really like to delve deeply into the Nature Folk Movement (NFM), and maybe someday I’ll get this complex architecture of websites figured out. Until then, I’m just glad I’m enjoying the process. What more really can you ask for in life?

There’s no lusher drought …
Than springtime in the Big Cypress Swamp.
This podcast dives deep into the paradox and oxymoron of south Florida’s spring drought, why you should never walk into a gator hole, and when we can expect it to end with the start up of the summer rains.

Around a campfire, right?

Well howdy folks, and I’m completely freaked out. And you know why. The fringe middle. The silent majority. Why are they so quiet?

Welcome to Firelight Radio …
Where we tune in to the Nature Folk Movement (NFM).
Firelight Radio is available on Apple Podcasts and Podbean
What exactly is the NFM? It’s the feeling that wells up into our hearts and minds when we gather around a campfire — the crackle, the glow, the aroma and the strumming. Here at Firelight Radio, we’re campfire inspired and guitar guaranteed. You’re always gonna hear a little crackling and you’re always gonna a little strumming. It’s where we get back to what’s important in life.
On today’s episode, we talk to a tree.
Actually, it’s the tree that does most of the talking.
The campfire is always crackling and visitors are always welcome at Campfire Park
— Cowboy at the Campfire
What’s could possibly be crazier …
Than a phone-eating dinosaur?

Answer: How about a podcast hosted by a talking guitar? As odd as that may seem, you can’t have a Nature Folk Movement (NFM) without and guitar by a campfire. At Firelight Radio, the content is campfire-inspired and guitar-guaranteed. That means you’re going to hear a little crackling and you’re going to hear a little plucking. Well, actually plucking is a bit of an exaggeration. Guitar may look like a guitar but his playing skills are pretty much limited to strumming.
The good news is that Guitar always has a special guest to help him get down the bottom of what the NFM is all about. In this episode, Dino the Dinosaur from the obscure geologic epoch know as “Before Phones” is in the special guest. Dino’s quest? To try to find his way back to the epoch Before Phones, also known as BP. His method for getting there is eating every phone that he sees.
