Finneran’s Wake – where the ART OF CONVERSATION lives. Here, no topic is untouchable, no idea inadmissible, and no one too heretical to be heard. As the great French essayist Montaigne once said, “To my taste, the most fruitful and natural exercise of our minds is CONVERSATION. I find the practice of it the most delightful activity in our lives”. It certainly is the most delightful activity in my life. I want it to be so in yours as well. To that end, I humbly welcome you to my channel. Here, we'll exercise our minds together. Here, we'll practice this delightful activity as friends. We'll engage, now and forever, in the art--the highest and most human art--of conversation! With affection, Daniel

Camping, Architecture, Nature, And The Hidden History Of S’mores | Martin Hogue

Martin Hogue is an author, architect, and a professor at Cornell University.

Martin’s latest book, Making Camp: A Visual History of Camping’s Most Essential Items and Activities is available everywhere fine books are sold.

I can assure you, this conversation will inspire you to unfold your tent, unroll your sleeping bag, throw some logs on the fire, and reconnect with nature!

Assembling the greatest camping party in history; The rugged, independent ideal of camping, and its structured, decadent reality; The notion of a “site” as a cultural construction; The metaphysics of architecture; The philosophy of camping; Meta-cognitive camping; National Parks; Albert Good, the father of park design; Blueprints and designs; The importance of drawing; Drawing as a transformative language; How to design a park; The 8 essential components of camping; Urban v. rural settings; Why campsite meals are so delicious; And MUCH more!
