To read part 10 click here. I had been thinking to myself that I really don't like Helena much at all because out where we're staying the area looks like severe urban sprawl - everything is so big and so far apart, with massive roads cutting through everything and subjecting everyone to 'the tyranny of the car'. But today we visited Downtown Helena! Our presentations were all hosted in […]
To read part 9 click here. Today was amazing, the Gates of Montana boat tour was 2 hours I hope I'll remember for a very long time. We travelled down the river all the while listening to of the most knowledgeable, funny, and magnetic tour guides I've come across in ages. He could tell you about the rocks, the trees, the animals we did, and did not, see, and […]
Bipolar author and linguist, Brian Stupek, give up on his teaching profession to focus on storytelling full time and is currently walking the length of Africa, meeting lots of people along the way, and trying to highlight mental health issues in all the places he stops. Here is his chat with David when he popped past the Nova studios while he was in Windhoek.
To read part 6 click here. Some random observations of the United States... so far: - There are 'smoke shops' all over, though I haven't gone into one (honest!). - The people around here clearly like their iced tea. - Everything is sweet. - or only available in large packs (at least at the Safeway - which still sounds to me like it should be a pharmacy rather than a […]
To read part 5 click here. Today I discovered that there is something worse than the person who says: "I don't have a question per se, more of a comment" - the fact that there are apparently people who ask questions that take longer to get to the point than the presentation they're asking a question about!! So, due to that, and the fact that I'm sure no-one reading this […]
To read part 4 click here. Today the formal part of the visit began, with a visit to the offices of project partner FHI 360 and an introduction to the programme by them, and representatives from the US State Department. We were also spoiled with a visit to the famous Bobby Van's Steakhouse, where, while conscious of the need to be able to stay awake for a presentation in the […]
To read part 3 click here. Day 3: Today started with a session where we all got to introduce ourselves and find out more about each other, one that once again left me with a profound sense of imposter syndrome but also joy at being able to be sharing this trip with journalists of this caliber and experience - from the 37 year-old Algerian Bouzid Ichalalene who, when the newspaper […]
If you missed part 2 click here. Day 2 continued: Post 4: Inspired by Jeanne I decided to go find the Ford Theatre where Abraham Lincoln was shot, and, by default, the house across the street where he succumbed, the following day, to the bullet that had penetrated both hemispheres of his brain. In the museum in the building next door you can see the weapons Lincoln's bodyguard offered him […]
This time last year I had jetted over to the United States as part of the Edward R Murrow Program for Journalists, after having been nominated by the U.S. Embassy in Namibia but having had to wait through the 'Covid years'. At the time I didn't really share too much of the trip on any of Future Media's official channels, but having seen the memories come up on Facebook this […]
