TreeHouseLetter Podcast
Always learning with a bit of fun.
This is the audio version of the newsletter which began in 2019 with a midlife account of Kili at 50 and Hiking Kilimanjaro on the Machame Route.
I share essays and letters on important matters and nonsense. The Music in Prose is a regular feature which includes the best writing and ideas, hitting the keynotes on why such stories stay with you.

“I adore your podcasts; each and every one is a little gem. You never say three words when two will do. Everything you do shows unusual respect and appreciation for our listeners’ time and intelligence.”
Buzz, former Managing Editor for all News & Public Affairs Programming at WHRB-FM/Harvard Radio Broadcasting.
