In these p-oddcasts your co-hosts, Don McKay and Jack Eastwood, explore all manner of things related to bricolage in the myriad of areas it can be found: everyday life, art, literature, music, architecture and beyond. A bricoleur, defined by the French as a handy person, creates unique works from found objects and materials they have at hand - physical and/or imagined - and, in some cases, the creation has a specific function, in others it may be a form of art but in every case the bricolage always reclaims and renews the inherent beauty of the elements each particular bricoleur chooses to create the work.

Don McKay

Barefoot and bird-headed poet extraordinaire, geo-sleuth, zen thinker, a gaia-centric, hawk-eyed, gopher grounded lover of creation; an explorer: of our relationships on, to and with everything on the planet. Now, add oddcaster to the mix.

Jack Eastwood

Sculptor, carpenter, scavenger, writer, logger, PUNdit and now, an oddcaster, Jack has been described as the archetypal briocleur who is himself an ongoing work of bricolage. Imagine a perpetual motion machine crossed with a Zen monk, or else Clint Eastwood (no relation) crossed with a coyote. None of this is plausible. Yet he persists and thrives in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Imagine.
