A Big Sur Podcast
A Big Sur Podcast
An ongoing conversation with people from near and far about Big Sur's past, present, and future. A Big Sur Podcast interprets “community” to mean ALL people from around the world who are curious about, and who care about, the preservation and restoration of the wild and rural character of Big Sur. Stories are told by visitors and residents, plumbers and linesmen, musicians and authors, dancers and jugglers and others. Sometimes we drift (way) off-topic into the arts, sciences, personal stories, gossip, politics, philosophy, ornithology, Henry Miller, and our zeitgeist in general. We like that!
The opinions expressed here belong to the people who express them. They may or may not line up with yours, mine, or your neighbor’s — and that’s exactly the point. Different perspectives, lived experiences, and even wildly clashing views are what make conversations worth listening to: enriching, infuriating, life-affirming, and sometimes all three at once.
If you are planning a visit to Big Sur and you listen to some of the folks on this Podcast talk about their love of the place your visit will probably be a lot more rewarding. Please email magnus@henrymiller.org with any comments, critique & suggestions.

# 105 An update from Dan Weiss from his home in Bet Shemesh, Israel.
On October 7, 2023 Dan woke up to a regular Sabbath in his hometown, Bet Shemesh. It turned out to be something very different than a 'regular' Sabbath!
In podcast episode # 76 my good friend Dan Weiss talks about the war in Israel.
Dan and I met in Big Sur 30 (or so) years ago. We have stayed in touch ever since. I am proud of my friendship with Dan.
This episode is published close to the anniversary of the massacre on Nov 7th, 2024.
Today is also close to Rosh Hashanah (October 3-4), a holiday commemorating the “Head of the Year,” marking the beginning of the Jewish calendar.
Dan and I speak of some places where we get thoughtful analysis and news:
Times of Israel
For Heaven's Sake
Call Me Back
Dexter Filkins on the Honestly Podcast
Mordechai Kedar
The Daily Briefing
Thank you for listening!
Leonard Cohen
