Podcast – Tokens

Welcome to part one of our two-part Thanksgiving Special, in which we take a look back at Tokens' very first Ryman show from 2010. In this episode of Dispatches, we hear some of Buddy Greene's magic on harmonica, host Lee C. Camp's monologues, two most outstanding performances by IBMA Entertainers of the Year Cherryholmes, and some very fine old hymns sung amidst the wondrous acoustics of 'the mother church of country music,' Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. We close with a classic piece by the Tokens Radio Players. Be sure to check back next week for part two of our Thanksgiving Special.

We are pleased to feature a very special episode of Dispatches from the Buckle, a bit longer than our normal middle Tennessee drive time podcast episode length, with host Lee C. Camp sitting in his family room along with Andrew Peterson who brought along his guitar and good stories. We talked about, and Andrew played and sang about, both Andrew’s new album, as well as the fifteen year anniversary of the death of Rich Mullins, featuring special performances of LAND OF MY SOJOURN and HELLO OLD FRIENDS. Plus we talked about being swept up into THE YEARLING, old hymns, Pink Floyd, and O Holy Night. (What can we say about that, except that once again, We Break Down False Dichotomies.) So Andrew closed us out with a favorite old hymn of his. A Most Outstanding Dispatches episode, if we might say so ourselves.

This week's Dispatches from the Buckle arrives, yes, a day late. But technical glitches have forced this. Nevertheless, we're back with our second podcast on 'eschatology.' Today, we examine how eschatology is not merely a private, religious category, but rather it is a public category. Eschatology involves the things in which we place our hope and visions for the way things are supposed to be. Along the way, we discuss the notion of 'proleptic' eschatology, something Lee makes all his students learn about. Then we hear Andrew Peterson sing his eschatological hymn, 'After the Last Tear Falls.' And we conclude with Buddy Greene's very fine rendition of 'Shall We Gather at the River.' We hope you enjoy this episode of Dispatches. Be sure to let all your friends know about our socio-cultural experiment here. Remember, you can subscribe to Dispatches from the Buckle on ITUNES.

Welcome to Dispatches from the Buckle. This week we begin thinking about eschatology. We begin with Odessa Settles singing a wonderful version of 'I am a Poor, Wayfaring Stranger' from our very first Tokens Show. After that Lee C. Camp, your host of Dispatches, gives you the first-in-human-history-so-far-as-we-know-with-absolutely-no-research-to-back-up-that-claim Seven Minute Speed Lecture. In it, Lee introduces terms like 'telos,' 'neo-platonism,' and 'new heavens and new earth,' which you can casually throw about during your next lunch-break conversation. We close with our Most Outstanding Horeb Mountain Boys' rendition of the 'Cherokee Shuffle,' featuring Aubrey Haynie on fiddle.

This week sees our double-0 seventh episode of Dispatches from the Buckle. In it, we continue with clips from our 'Justice Songs' Tokens Show. First up, we have an interview with Will D. Campbell, author of the very fine Brother to a Dragonfly. Next Odessa Settels performs a beautiful rendition of 'Were You There.' We conclude with a lighthearted revisit of 'Tales from the Bible Belt' about the English-only Bill proposed in the Tennessee legislature a few years back.
