The Folium Diary

The Folium Diary begins as the playful audio journal of Cherie Hazzard, a brilliant, elusive young woman documenting her “internship” with a mysterious project called the Folium. Through books, banter, flirtation, philosophy, and small-town drama, Cherie gradually reveals that the diary itself is part of a larger performance: an attempt to introduce a long-term social vision rooted in ecological wisdom, affectionate anarchy, and the nurturing of better humans. As the story unfolds, family secrets, doppelgängers, hidden rooms, and shifting narrators widen the world. By the end of season one, the Folium emerges as both idea and experiment: a strange, loving nudge toward a better civilization.

Smoke 😺 Signal: A Daisy Drop Special

I was in the kitchen reading this article to Linda when Smoke jumped in my lap and made it known in no uncertain terms that she wanted to narrate this as a podcast episode. Smoke has been itching to get back in the show ever since Cher made her a co-host last December (either that or it's fleas 🙀). We worked on her voice for hours until she was satisfied - such a diva. Smoke thinks that what humans say about animals says more about themselves than they realize.

We hope you enjoy it, but please don't send Smoke any fanmail - her big head barely fits through the cat door as it is 😽
