Bridging History

The Bridging History series tells the tale of the colonisation and settlement of Dubbo, on Wiradjuri Country in Central West NSW Australia, through built infrastructure that changed the Wambuul Macquarie River forever. The bridges cross water and land with a much older story to tell. Today, you can cross all three bridge sites by walking, running or cycling the Tracker Riley Cycleway that loops around the river.

The Stonington Soundwalk takes the listener on a walk past old sardine factories and music halls, neighborhoods and town piers. It features the stories of local residents, both past and present, recorded and edited by audio producer Galen Koch.

This immersive audio soundwalk, created by Galen Koch of The First Coast, with College of the Atlantic students Annika Ross and Celia Morton, takes you on a journey through Stonington, Maine’s culture, landscape, and history. Designed for a walking route that begins at 44 North’s Stonington cafe, this walk can be enjoyed on foot or from the comfort of your own home. Created in spring of 2023, the Stonington Soundwalk was created for community members and visitors. It provides a glimpse into the history of this small coastal fishing town and invites the listener to engage with the landscape, the town, and its residents (both past and present) through an intimate and immersive audio experience,

oversupinate

People who jog, run, and sprint have their share of problems that slow-moving people can barely comprehend. One is oversupination. As the OED defines it, to oversupinate is “To run or walk so that the weight falls upon the outer sides of the feet to a greater extent than is necessary, desirable, etc.” A 1990 Runner’s World article gets to the crux of the problem: “It’s hard to ascertain exactly what percentage of the running population oversupinates, but it’s a fraction of the people who think they do.” Credits to Mark Peters.
