Peter Rosen is a long time Big Sur resident. He is known for his extraordinary feats of hang gliding far above the Santa Lucia Mountains!

| 28 Feb 2022 | #14 Sanna Björling, former Swedish foreign correspondent in Washington DC for Dagens Nyheter in a conversation with Magnus Torén. | 01:22:57 | |
We sit in a bar, at Benny Andersson's Rival, on Söder in Stockholm! I am speaking with Swedish author and journalist Sanna Björling. (Far from Big Sur, but as we have said, A Big Sur Podcast is free to roam!) Sanna recently worked as foreign correspondent in Washington DC for Dagens Nyheter, the largest Swedish daily newspaper. We talk of both her personal and professional life as a foreign correspondent, the changing media landscape, immigration, politics, having three young children in the USA and more. Sanna has authored two books that are mentioned in our discussion (neither of which yet has been translated) are ALLT VI HAR GEMENSAMT, which translated would be All That We Have in Common, and, coauthored with Frida Stranne, SUPERMAKTEN . Sanna is married to my second cousin Olof Torén. I hope you will enjoy joining us for part of our conversation. / Magnus _________________________________________________ | |||

Stephen D. Edington, a Unitarian Universalist minister, discusses his personal journey and the influence of Jack Kerouac on his spiritual beliefs. Sound Bites!
In 1988 I came to Nashua, New Hampshire to begin what turned out to be a 24 year ministry with the Unitarian Universalist Church there. One of my colleagues in our district ministers’ chapter was your minister, Amy Morgenstern, who was serving a congregation in Vermont. She eventually made her way westward here to Palo Alto, and I stayed in New England. We’ve kept up our friendship over the years. One of our points of connection was and is our affinity for some of the Beat Generation writers; and, for me, Jack Kerouac in particular.
