    I’ve always been a very visual person, but the power of audio truly discovered me through the process of creating this story. It's about my mom, the pandemic, and me. The pleasure I had in creating it and many listeners' response to it is what led me to the idea for Bring in the Bird!

    Episode 3: A Mexican Farewell
    Feb 24 2026

    In this episode, Lisa, a listener from CA, takes us with her to the loving assisted living home - in Mexico - where her mother lived. I muse on how "logistics and problem-solving, beauty and grief often swirl together" as we accompany parents into old age and how Lisa's story helped change my thinking about death.

    Thanks (again) to Molly Flannery for the music!

    This episode tells the story of why I started this podcast, and why it's called "Bring in the Bird."

    Thanks so much to Kemper Carlsen (Leverett, MA) for the interview and to Airtone for the bird song-tune (from https://ccmixter.org).

    Also, ongoing thanks to Jenn L. for the gorgeous artwork (based on a photo I took of my mom and me on a winter walk).
