Dispatching from Jamaica to Japan and points in between, Dave “Uncle Weed” Olson riffs with remarkable characters on art, travel, work, and wonder — all tangled with music, misadventure, and the occasional roadside philosophy. Recorded loose and lively, with hi-jinks and verve, sending communiqués since 2005.
