John ButlerHOST
So it's incorporated into the text and I hope will sort of make the book of more interest.
John ButlerHOST
And, and, uh, the cover, which shows where I was in the desert of Namibia, also called Skeleton Coast.
John ButlerHOST
[laughs] Where many of the world's diamonds come from, but, uh, not that I found any.
John ButlerHOST
I looked, [laughs] I tried.
Rebecca RyellHOST
Yeah, I mean, Etosha is twice the size of Wales or something I read once.
Rebecca RyellHOST
And then you've got such variety, haven't you, with, you know, the Skeleton Coast and all the wildlife along there.
Rebecca RyellHOST
And I think we went to Luderitz, which was
MishGUEST
a diamond mining ghost town.
Velvet EinsteinHOST
I think that's a good way to get into talking about what you do, right? You go around the world and you find music from all different parts of the world.
Velvet EinsteinHOST
You've had a number of great releases out this year, including the Red Spirit Singers, Land of the Sun, Oman Backpike Singers, the Himbeahim Ghosted Namibia Skeleton Coast, and the Chicago Gunfire Survivors release.
Velvet EinsteinHOST
And that was just this year.
Velvet EinsteinHOST
So you've certainly been busy.

Ian BrennanGUEST
I think it sounds a lot more, you know, creative and progressive than a lot of the people that might claim themselves to be, who are kind of being weird for weird's sake or strange for strange's sake.
Ian BrennanGUEST
So it was an incredibly beautiful experience to meet the people there.
Velvet EinsteinHOST
You've been listening to the voice of producer Ian Brennan from a recent interview talking there about the release Himba Him, Ghost of Namibia's Skeleton Coast.
Velvet EinsteinHOST
So let's go ahead and have a listen to a track from that and then get back into the interview.
Carolyne HydeGUEST
And I mean, I suppose the weather we went through kind of reflects that.
Carolyne HydeGUEST
the vast range of different things that we saw because on one day alone we got up and there was we were on the coast on the skeleton coast there was a sea mist it was about 12 degrees we both had our damn jackets on and by the end of that day we arrived at our accommodation in Damaraland it was 34 degrees and bright skies that sums up the the difference the the absolute diversity and yeah it's just full of yeah we
Stuart HydeGUEST
had i mean as you drive along the the um the whole atmosphere changes you know the environment changes you've got different views different landscapes the whole thing is it's not just you know one boring sort of massive desert or whatever
Carolyne HydeGUEST
it

Carolyne HydeGUEST
So that was, you know, that was really, we would have missed a lot if we hadn't done that as well, wouldn't we? So, yeah, that was great.
Carolyne HydeGUEST
And so Swakopmund, that was an example of that.
Carolyne HydeGUEST
Then we went along the Skeleton Coast, which is infamous for being eerie, for having loads of shipwrecks along the side.
Carolyne HydeGUEST
And the road, once you get into the Skeleton National Park, there is nothing but the sand dunes coming right up to the sea.
Daniel LucasHOST
These dunes provide a textbook example of aeoline landforms.
Daniel LucasHOST
The Skeleton Coast offers one of the most dramatic coastline geographies on Earth.
Daniel LucasHOST
Cold Atlantic currents create dense fog that rolls inland from the ocean.
Daniel LucasHOST
This fog sustains desert-adapted plants and animals in an otherwise harsh environment.
Eamon O'TooleHOST
But Logan and I were talking offline about where he's going and what he's doing.
Eamon O'TooleHOST
And he's not terrible far from the Skeleton Coast.
Eamon O'TooleHOST
Him and I had both eaten at the same steakhouse 20 years apart in Swakopmund, Namibia.
Eamon O'TooleHOST
So it's pretty exciting.
