It's all about the takeaways - the critical thinking nuggets that can shape how we tackle any challenge we face in life.

TAKING MEASURE
Welcome to Taking Measure; a podcast series exploring Roderick Haig-Brown's 1950 classic work Measure of the Year: Reflections on home, family and a life fully lived. In this series, host Dan MacLennan sits at the desk in the study at Above Tide, also known as Haig-Brown House, in the city of Campbell River on Vancouver Island, BC. From here, he looks out the window across the grounds at the Campbell River flowing past, just as Haig-Brown did when he wrote more than 20 books and numerous articles and essays, lectures and more. He was a remarkable man on many levels: an early eloquent naturalist and conservationist, a farmer, a magistrate, a university chancellor and an award-winning author. In the world of fly fishing, he occupies the pantheon. In his book Measure of the Year, Haig-Brown presents a chapter for each month in the lives of the farm, his family, the community and the nature that surrounds them. We're going to bring you Haig-Brown in 12 parts through his book and through the eyes and voices of his four children and others who knew him well. We'll take a measure of the man through his Measure of the Year. Visit https://www.haig-brown.bc.ca for a virtual tour of the house and all that it offers. Here you can also find shownotes for our podcast episodes.
TRUTH OR LITERATURE
The study of common literature is often about selling literature, putting its author on a pedestal at the expense of serious critical thinking. Good critical thinking about literature is neither idolatrous nor iconoclastic, but instead evaluates content for it alignment with Truth.

INDIGENOUS CLIMATE ACTION POD
The Indigenous Climate Action Pod (presented by Indigenous Climate Action) aims to both build up the Indigenous rights movement in so-called Canada and to connect with Indigenous Peoples, even when we cannot meet in person. For many Indigenous Peoples, access to internet is often limited and resources such as videos and websites can be difficult to access, and books can be difficult to obtain due to costs, so accessibility is the foundation upon which this show was made. The podcast team is made up of Lindsey Bacigal, Brina Romanek, and Morningstar Derosier
