My radio interview: Why alternative media matters

This is a recording of an radio show I did on KCSJ 590 AM with Randy Thurston for his show, “Pueblo Now.” We discussed the need for alternative media for a community and how consumers figure out what agenda lies behind a media outlet.

Milagro’s Easter Worship Service (Podcast)

We have folks ask us all the time what worship is like at Milagro. And although we usually podcast Amy’s sermons on the church podcast, we don’t usually record the whole service.

But since it was Easter, we decided to do the whole thing, edited down for time, and share it here:

Let us know what you think, or better yet, come join us some Sunday morning.

More aural infectiousness for your ear-holes

First, if you haven’t checked out the final part of the three-part WTF (Where’s the Faith?) discussion with fellow series co-creator and co-editor, it’s all up in its three-part yumminess now. So suck it up!

Next, I developed a narrative postcard of one of our church giveaways, since so many folks have asked about them.

Third, I posted another track from my “S’aint Trio” free jazz and spoken word album I did last summer. The piece is called “Collapse,” and has some serious energy going on.

Last but hopefully not least, I knocked out a solo (S’aint solo, no trio, yo) spoken word track today at home called “Revolution,” and I thought it came together pretty well. Thought I’d share.

Here’s to happier ear-holes. Enjoy.

Peace,
Christian Piatt/S’aint

New Live concert on my podcast

I traveled recently to Lee’s Summit, MO for an event where I was leading some workshops, speaking and such. On Sunday night, I got to close out the evening with a concert for a couple hundred very welcoming folks. It was probably the highlight of the weekend for me.

I love getting to share music and spoken word with people, and though some of the stuff I introduced may have been a new experience for many in attendance, they all seemed to have a good time.

Check out the podcast by searching my name on iTunes, playing it on the streaming audio player on my website (www.chrstianpiatt.com), or hit the link below to go directly to the podcast site.

All episodes of the podcast, including the concert, are free. Let me know what you think.
