Terra Firma
·
Terra Firma is a new podcast that combines writing about nature with the sounds of the outdoors.
It’s hosted by CMarie Fuhrman — a writer, a poet, an educator, an indigenous woman. Each episode pairs CMarie’s writing with recordings by Jacob Job. He’s a conservationist, an educator, a man very concerned with protecting wild places and with sound.
The sounds in Terra Firma come from places like Buena Vista, Colorado, and a snowy field in late December. Or to Bluff, Utah at the top of Comb Ridge. Or the Payette River in Idaho.
It’s a podcast for those who cannot leave their home, or don’t have the time or access to these places. Take a walk up a mountain, or sit with me beside a river or be CMarie’s companion in these wild places.
Terra Firma from Colorado Public Radio arrives on January 25th. Find it on your favorite podcast app. And don't miss an episode.
The episode Welcome to Terra Firma from the podcast Terra Firma has a duration of
4:43. It was first published

Greeting a New Decade (Comb Ridge, Utah)
At sunset on the eve of her 50th birthday, CMarie hikes up a slickrock ridge with her dog Carhartt. She passes petroglyphs, and cottonwoods, and at the top of the ridge, as the sun disappears over the mountains, she slips on a red evening gown. The light soaks into her hair and skin, and CMarie greets a new decade.
