Weld Found Podcast

Guys! There’s a Cave Under the Cave! (episode 4)

Could there be more here, lurking just beneath the surface? ...a great question to ask at the top of a new year. 

----------------- 

This is the fourth episode of "Where Water Flows Uphill", a special series that is asking, In the coming flood of change, who do we want to be? 

Produced by Weld Found, we follow Wes Bruce as he is creating a large-scale, interactive art installation at the LINC (Library and Innovation Center in downtown Greeley, CO). His work in the heart of the LINC is inspired by the 100 acres around the Poudre River called Signature Bluffs. 

This show is made possible by the Weld Community Foundation, who encourages us to spread the good. 

 

 

Cheers!

Weld Found takes a pause from its series Where Water Flows Uphill to give you a special holiday episode- featuring an interview with WeldWerks Brewing CO, a poem from Mariah Foster, and a piece by Tim Coons about how to make any song sound Christmas-y. 

Where Water Flows Uphill will return in January, 2023.

Returning Home (Live from Do Tell)

Weld Found returns with a new series, “Where Water Flows Uphill”! Look for new episodes in the following weeks (made possible by the Weld Community Foundation weldcommunityfoundation.org)

In today’s show, host of Weld Found, Tim Coons, shares a personal story of belonging. When Tim took a job down in Denver in 2011, he didn’t realize that the physical distance he traversed while commuting would start to create emotional and relational distance between himself and his community here in Weld County. His story is about bridging that gap and rediscovering belonging in a new role closer to home.

 

Special Thanks to Greeley Creative District and Andy Nagel (audio engineer for Do Tell)
