Welcome to the first recording of Arts and Ideas, In the Air, Under the Tent, and Around Baltimore.
0:09
After a long summer of figuring out what to do about having school during this pandemic,
0:16
Arts and Ideas came up with a beautiful outdoor schooling option.
0:22
A 30 by 50 tent, online for those who really can't risk coming into contact with COVID-19,
0:32
and a nice sort of hybrid mixing of our democratic structures, both here under the tent and out there in the air.
0:43
Our community came together and raised up the tent and put back a massive wooden sign that a hurricane remnant had torn down.
0:55
It was a beautiful Saturday when all that happened, just a few days before we opened.
1:00
And now, the first day of our opening, we had a wonderful informal meeting where we figured out basically how to connect.
1:10
We're going with Discord in case you're wondering for those online, and in person we have a dedicated sort of computer and speaker microphone setup.
1:24
So, that's looking all very promising, and life under the tent is good.
1:31
The plan for this podcast is very short, snippet daily, hopefully, broadcasts that illuminate something about the day, about what we do here, who we are, and having a little bit of fun.
1:48
So, that's the plan.
1:52
There will be some days, perhaps where it will be a little longer, maybe going into some depth about some topic of the model or some other interesting tidbit,
2:05
answering questions anybody might have, and hopefully hearing from a variety of both online and in person students here at ANI.
2:16
So, that's the plan.
2:18
Again, this is being recorded outside, live, in the middle of a field, underneath a big old tent.
2:26
So, hope to see you around.
