A Conversation

This is a rather special post that may have a smaller audience than usual. It comes in an auditory form, which you can download below. If you’ve ever wanted to hear the life-story of a homeless person, then it may be worth the thirty minutes it will take you to listen to it. Hopefully you’ll find it interesting and inspiring.


To download the .mp3, right click the link below and select "Save Target As..." or "Download Linked File", or you can stream online by simply clicking the link.

This is George.





This is George's garden project. I'll vouch for him that it has seen better days. (see below)

  1. Landon,

    This is an exceptional production and a very interesting story. You have the talent of any seasoned NPR host. I really hope you try and get this production out to them or someone else because I think many more people than are able to find you would be interested in seeing this. You are very talented. Thanks for making this. Jenifer Fox

  2. Landon,
    Very moving portrait of this man and very thought provoking concept of missing out on life's adventures due to fear and timidity. You have a special talent! Continue to use it!
    Have a great day,
    Bob McDugald (Uncle Bob to you)
