Why I Got The Covid - 19 Shot / Musing Along The Rim Road With James Navé

In this Twice 5 Miles show, titled Why I Got the Covid-19 Shot, you and I will take a walk along the Rim Road. Even though most of my shows are long-form interview shows that focus on poetry, art, culture, and sometimes politics, now and then, I record a show solo, just me walking and talking. Sure, I've recorded a few solo shows sitting in front of a microphone; that said, I prefer the walking and talking approach. Why? Because anything can happen when you're walking along paths, dirt roads, and city sidewalks. Moreover, the walking environment, full of the unexpected, will always prompt, inform, and influence what you say. So when I left my door with my Rode microphone clipped to my jacket and attached to my field recorded, I had no idea that during my hour-long walk, I'd talk at length about why I got the Covid-19 shot, twice in my left arm. Little did I know, before my walk, I would be telling you about my fears of getting polio when I was a young boy. Yes, I was terrified of landing in an iron lung and dying at 15 in a lonely hospital room. Of course, that didn't happen. Instead, a sugar cube with a drop of polio on it saved my life. So I was a tad surprised when less than ten minutes into my talk and walk, I dropped into talking about all the reasons I'm a fan of the Covid-19 vaccination. Yes, I'm a fan of encouraging everyone to get a Covid-19 vaccination. Of course, there's plenty more in this hour-long talk and walk like dogs baking, people passing by on their afternoon walks, and my other musing about the American flag and my thoughts on how humans co-exist with the other animals roaming earth. Did you know trees talk to each other by way of their root systems? How about that? So join me on this walk which I've titled Why I Got the Covid-19 shot / Musing Along the Rim Road with James Navé. If you'd like to tell me your story, please email me through my website www.JamesNave.com. Until then, I'll catch you on the turnaround somewhere down the line.
