Trailer Talk is a live performance, a community event and a radio broadcast. I drive my vintage camper to Main Streets, festivals and events. People step inside, I welcome them with homemade brownies and we sit down to talk over the kitchen table. It’s goal is to bring attention to important issues where least expected, on the streets and in people’s neighborhoods. At Trailer Talk events, the kitchen table represents the democratic tradition of public dialogue that values the coming together of diverse and often opposing voices to create common ground and inspire social change.
Even though my 1965 Beeline trailer is tiny, its kitchen table is large enough to seat "One third of the Nation", so please come on in and join us for in this traveling salon and portal of possibility.
"Live on the road, from the kitchen table, from my neighborhood to yours”

On The Road
How safe is Natural Gas?

Industry extremists and the people being sacrificed for the Shale are really all being used by the energy corporations. Who and what is being sacrificed for the Shale? What's happening in your neighborhood? All viewpoints welcome as always.
