The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

منذ 4 years37:37

International travel is still a bit iffy going into the summer of 2021. So how do you get more out of your travel this summer even if you're staying a bit closer to home? In his inaugural solo episode, Veren ponders the travel mindset and how we can have more transformative travel experiences in three actionable tips. If you're looking to expand your travel horizons, have deeper and more rewarding experiences regardless of where you'll be this summer (and beyond), this episode is for you!

63: The 7 Leave No Trace Principles 27:10

منذ 4 years27:10

27:10

The 7 Leave No Trace Principles are guidelines for engaging responsibly with the outdoors. With the nice weather here in the Northern Hemisphere, more people are getting outside to hike and camp. So we thought it'd be a good idea to go over these principles! The principles include how to plan, dispose of waste properly, camp responsibly, respect wildlife, be considerate of other hikers/campers, and more. While these may be common sense to some, it's always good to review so that we can more mindfully engage with our beautiful planet. Happy exploring!

Our Alternative Destinations series is back with our long anticipated Buffalo episode! We've been singing the praises of Buffalo ever since the pandemic put a pause on our nomadic wanderings and we settled in Buffalo one year ago (May 2020). It's been a homecoming of sorts for Sam, who lived here for 10 years, but hasn't been back for 10 years! Buffalo is the second biggest city in New York State (second only to NYC), and is known as the City of Good Neighbors and the City of Light. We talk about Buffalo's fascinating history as THE city to be at the turn of the 20th century, why Buffalo is such a multicultural city with a long history of immigration, the city's interesting mix of Midwestern and Northeast coast vibes, and a lot more. Of course, we also give you lots of recommendations of things to do, cool neighborhoods to explore, local foods you gotta eat and where (Buffalo is a proud foodie city), and the best ways to explore the city. This episode is all about why we love Buffalo and why it's a great place for alternative travelers to visit!

60: Deep Diving into Cruise Travel 50:56

منذ 4 years50:56

50:56

In this deep dive (pun intended) into cruise travel, Sam looks at the cruise industry from all angles. Why do people love this method of traveling? What are the impacts of cruise travel on the destinations, people, economy, and the environment? What about the humanitarian component of cruise ship workers? Is sustainable, responsible cruising possible? While this episode is a critical look at the cruise industry, we also recognize why people choose cruise travel. We're not here to shame anyone, but rather to educate travelers to be able to make more informed choices. So whether you are curious about cruise travel, have friends and family who love to cruise, or just want to know more about this popular method of travel, this episode is for you! >>>>> We need your support to keep this podcast going!

Humans eat 3x+ per day, meaning that our food choices are a key place to start when looking to live a more mindful lifestyle. We simply can't talk about sustainable travel without looking at what's on our plate! In this episode, we talk about the variety of ways to make more sustainable choices through food. As we'll mention throughout the episode - remember that change of any kind is a process, and it's all about progress over perfection.
