PGM 967 'INTERLUDE' : dec. 30-jan. 6

Consider, dear listeners, the unresolved interval between Christmas and the New Year. 
Some of us work, some don't. Some socialize with friends and family, some enjoy a good book. A fortunate minority take vacations in warm places; the rest of us return unwanted gifts, make resolutions for the new year, clean out closets, take in a movie, and keep busy to disguise the lack of normal purpose.

In general, it's an ill-defined and unsettled week in our national calendar until New Year's eve parties and a massive day of football bring some all-American clarity back to the picture. In the week to come, we start the new year and whatever the 'new normal' is.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE we wish you a stellar new year, and bring you a soundtrack for this phantom period on a program called INTERLUDE. Music is by JEFF OSTER, MARK ISHAM, KATHRYN KAYE, TIM STORY, LUDOVICO EINAUDI, BOB HOLROYD, DARSHAN AMBIENT, and introducing JONATHAN HUGH.

There is a glitch at the *very* end of episode 967. The voice track has no voiceover, and the voiceless track *does* have the voiceover.

An incredibly beautiful program, like so many from HOS. I've been a faithful listener since the 1980s.

It's definitely a new and unique concept-the last six days of a year, between whatever start of winter holiday you observe and the non spiritual start of a new year, who just one year ago was approaching the year that started this current decade, a year that will be forever remembered as the year of Covid-19. Just 21 years ago, it was the start of the interlude towards what would end as the start of not only a new year but a new decade and the once-in- our-lifetimes' start (turn day) of the new century which is the first such century of what's now the 3rd millennium! I love "Interlude" just as I love many HOS shows; thanks for this original program and keep up the great work, spacesters.
