Standard

Jeremy’s granddaughter was born but with a little hiccup causing her to stay in the NICU for a few days.  Chris and Bre outwit the UPS man and it’s Thanksgiving!!!

Jeremy’s granddaughter, Ivy Rose

This week we finally get to talk to Frank Falk, the creator of iHorns. We have been looking at his stuff for years at the Farmers Market and Jeremy even has one at home. The horns are made from musical instruments, car horns, animal horns, and anything conical!

Frank Falk, iHorns creator

Frank makes custom speakers for your phone out of antique horns and other devices. But we talk a lot more about American history than we do the actual horns, since that is such a big part of the art itself. We are grateful because he brought each of us a horn!

Sterling Dinkie via iHorns website

Our guest says the best thing about Utah is that the people and the topography are diverse.  The people make room for all and accept differences.

Our gifts from Frank!

Episode 335 – Hari Krishna’s in Utah

Standard

It’s Utah Adventure Week! We pay a special visit to a very unique place in Utah and even in America, basically outside of India. The Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah.

We get to meet the head of that temple, Caru Das and spend a couple hours with him talking about the history of the temple, all the wonderful things they do there and about the faith. We visited their sanctuary, their shop, and the grounds with their fantastic koi pond that fertilizes their gardens, their birds and llamas.  The views are amazing and everyone living there is so lucky.  The temple grounds are home to the largest color festival outside India.

It was really an amazing experience and we hope you all enjoy hearing about it.  Chris has worked in some recordings that include some chanting and even a little rap! Thank you to Folk Hogan for our intro music. Follow us @tnupodcast on our social media.
