The Times They Are a Changin'

Certain songs are just iconic and their messages timeless - and that was the impetus for this episode. I talk a lot about change and how it's inevitable, and not always what we want, but that we need to accept it. But we can also impact it - we can push for the right and good things and fight agains oppression or cruelty or yes - stupidity. I bring in thoughts from a number of previous episodes but also wonder why things are the way they are (old habits die hard). 

What are your thoughts on the state of the world and the changes that are happening?

Walking The Walk is written, recorded and produced by me - Charissa McKay (aka CharCharBinx) in my awesome basement home office/studio/craft room on Treaty 6 lands known originally as amiskwaciy-wâskahikan, meaning Beaver Hill House, in Nehiyawewin (Cree). There are other names, equally as meaningful, and I am grateful to those who were here before me, for the ability to call this place my home.
