Dr. Caldwell has been practicing mindfulness for more than a decade and it has been an important part of his personal and professional journey. While his formal practice of Vipassana (i.e., to see things as they really are) meditation has been critically important, the application of mindfulness in every-day life has been the most transformative.

This week on the summer series finale of The Local's Show host Erik Skarvan chats with Aspen local musician Dan Sheridan. This a a great one one folks! Here 's a little bit about Dan that is taken from his website http://www.dansheridanaspen.com When an artist truly has something to say, others easily recognize it. This is the case with the most recent collection of songs by Dan Sheridan on his new release, Recycle. Beyond the strong melodies and the effortless flow of words is a simple feeling that these songs may have always existed, and Sheridan's deft touch as a songwriter merely uncovered them. This is the magic of Sheridan's work, and what has made him one of today's most artistic singer-songwriters. Never resorting to shock value or falling back on time worn cliches, the beauty of Sheridan's work lies in the longing and detachment of his characters in these pastoral landscapes. And here are some of Dan's accomplishments: 2002 First Place Rocky Mountain Folk Festival Songwriter Showcase 2001 Fi

"World's Oldest Pro Bull Rider, yeee haaaa!" with Greg Casteel by GrassPods

In 2017 and 2018, as a part of a whistleblowing effort, James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, and Helen Pluckrose wrote ideologically-driven, morally horrific papers and submitted them to leading peer-reviewed academic journals. Seven of these were published, and seven more were under review before their project was uncovered and subsequently revealed by the Wall Street Journal. The trio’s intention was to expose a kind of academic corruption (idea laundering) that puts radical social and political agendas ahead of scholarship and a dispassionate search for truth. Aspen attendees had the opportunity to hear from all three whistleblowers who discussed what, in their opinion, is going on behind the scenes in universities today, and how activist "scholarship" is making its way into many aspects of our increasingly fraught civic culture. They explained what they dubbed "grievance studies," described how certain university departments are indoctrinating college students into a perpetual "grievance" mindset, and illust
