Funk and BeyondФУНКЦИИ ФАНКА PODCAST. THE BEST FROM 2023Лучше поздно, чем никогда! 2024 год подходит к концу и впору подводить его итоги, ну а я только добрался до итогового подкаста Функции Фанка за 2023 год. Оправдываться не буду. Просто было крайне мало времени и я постепенно, в течение года по крупицам собирал прошлогодние альбомные релизы. В итоге получился почти 8-часовой подкаст. Самый длинный за последние 19 лет... Да, друзья, в 2025 году Функциям Фанка исполнится 20 лет. В это сложно поверить и осознать, тем не менее это так. Я безумно этому рад и хочу поблагодарить вас, друзья за поддержку! Благодаря вам этот проект живет и продолжает радовать нас самой разнообразной музыкой, которая давным-давно вышла за рамки фанк, соул и джаз музыки, хотя эти направления по-прежнему основной ингредиент моих шоу, миксов и вечеринок.
Ниже сможете в этом убедиться. 141 альбомный релиз, которые попали ко мне в руки в прошлом году и кое что в догонку, о чем я узнал в 2024.
Скачивайте, слушайте, делитесь своими эмоциями в комментариях, рассказывайте друзьям, слушайте хорошую музыку, приходите на танцы и побольше фанка в жизни!!

The Tea on Sustainable Living#32 | Part 2 of our new experiment (exploring personal style while reducing clothing consumption)How do you reinvent your style while trying to do your best for people and planet? How can you navigate your desire to buy new clothes, the pressure to consume from the world around us, and your values around sustainability? In this episode, we talk about Brandee’s exploration of personal style and how she has approached clothes shopping so far. We also chat about consumerism, how even buying second-hand might be taking us away from the path we want to be on, and how to set goals that feel good to us rather than just another ti...2024-06-1127 minThe Tea on Sustainable Living#31 | We’re back! Updates and part 1 of our new experiment (reducing phone usage)Hey y’all! It's been a while, but we’re happy to be back. We’ve come back with a broader understanding of what we mean by sustainability - and what we want it to mean for our show! We want our habits and lifestyles to support and align with our sustainability values, whether that’s getting in more movement or reducing our clothing waste. Hannah kicks off our new experiment by sharing a habit she’d like to change - her phone usage - with the aim of building more intentionality into her free time. She shares tha...2024-05-2126 minThe Tea on Sustainable Living#30 | Post-trip reflections and long-term impact and solutions: sustainable travel seriesAKA the stuff Hannah’s “not very good at.” In today’s episode, we’re rounding out our sustainable travel series with the third and final episode all about what to do after your trip. We try and answer questions like, what should we keep in mind for the future? How can we plan our future trips better? How can we bring travel into our everyday lives? We also chat about trip-specific clothing, leaving positive reviews for restaurants and other businesses, and a note on souvenirs (because we ran out of time in the l...2023-06-0635 minThe Tea on Sustainable Living#29 | Traveling like a local vs. a tourist: sustainable travel seriesDo you like to travel like a local or a tourist? Or a good mix of both?? In today’s episode, we’re continuing our sustainable travel series by chatting about what to do while you’re actually on your trip. (And if you haven’t already, go back and listen to episode #28 first!) Join us as we discuss traveling like a local versus a tourist (and what that even means), tourist traps, David of Michelangelo, neighborhood impact, swimming with dolphins, and more. So grab some tea, get comfy, and hit that play button...2023-05-1634 minThe Tea on Sustainable Living#28 | Planning your next trip: sustainable travel seriesAre you planning a trip this summer?? (And if not, still read and listen for future you!) With the summer holidays just around the corner, we thought taking a deeper dive into sustainable travel would be fun (and hopefully helpful). We’re breaking it down into stages, and in this first episode of our three-part mini-series, we’re talking about the planning stage. As in, what can we do in this stage to decrease our impact and have a more sustainable trip? From carbon offsetting (check out our previous episode, #7, on flying) to choo...2023-05-0231 minThe Tea on Sustainable Living#27 | Sustainable banking and investing for the planetIn this episode, we go beyond the immediate impact of our daily purchases to talk about the impact of the money we have in our savings, investments, and pensions. While banks have traditionally been part of the problem by financing fossil fuel projects and not prioritizing sustainable investments, this is beginning to change.Banking investments can have a significant impact on promoting sustainable development and combating climate change. But do we go for a green bank or stick with one of the major players? Why do we make the banking choices we do, and how do we...2023-04-1828 minThe Tea on Sustainable Living#26 | The role of education in climate anxietyWere you taught about climate change in school? Are you feeling a bit worried about the state of the climate crisis now? Is there a connection between those two questions? We don’t know; we’re not psychologists or mental health experts.But, according to a 2001 report, 84% of 16-25-year-olds feel worried about climate change, with 45% saying that their feelings negatively affect their daily life and functioning*. Today, we’re looking at this statistic through the lens of education and discussing whether the current approaches in education are supporting children and young people.After all, feelin...2023-04-0430 min
The Tea on Sustainable Living#25 | Individual vs. corporate impact and actionDid you know that 11 people in 1 company made decisions that were responsible for 0.45% of all carbon emissions in 2020*? Sure, that doesn’t sound like much - except when you realize that the entirety of Africa only contributed 3.8% of global carbon emissions in 2020**. In this episode, we talk about the difference between individual vs. corporate impact and action and the mindset shift needed to start viewing these companies as things that are made up of actual people. What can we do? What can you do? Well, at the very least, you can grab some te...2023-03-1431 min
The Tea on Sustainable Living#24 | Can shame be productive?Feeling a bit uncomfortable after seeing the word “shame” in the episode title? You’re not alone.In this episode, we try and work through some difficult emotions as we explore our own shame, guilt, frustration, and anger when it comes to climate action. We also discuss the role wealth plays in climate change, holding yourself accountable, and why it’s hard to make changes despite having so much information.Can shame and guilt be useful drivers of climate action? Or should we stick with the more moderate approach we normally advocate for? It’s a tough on...2023-02-2834 min

The Tea on Sustainable Living#22 | How to declutter betterFeeling overwhelmed by the accumulation of another year's worth of stuff? You're not alone! January is the time for fresh starts, but there's nothing fresh about that pile of bags that’s been hanging around since last year's New Year's resolution. We discuss how we can recycle or reuse old items in our houses, where we can take different materials….and when to say fuck it and just throw it all in the bin. So grab some tea and a bag to sort through, and hit that play button.Links and resources:2023-01-3134 min
The Tea on Sustainable Living#21 | How to determine YOUR unique climate actionWhat brings you joy? What is the climate work that needs doing? What are you good at?If you can answer all 3 of those questions (and find a common theme), you’ve just identified your unique climate action. Yay!In today’s episode, we’re taking a closer look at Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson’s Climate Action Venn Diagram to (try and) determine the climate action that makes the most sense for us. You’ll hear us share our answers to the above questions and help each other find where they overlap. (You’ll also hear Brandee...2023-01-1749 min

The Tea on Sustainable Living#19 | The problem with Amazon and convenience (or is there?)Would Amazon and convenience exist in your utopia? What would that look like?We surprise ourselves as we delve deeper into the Amazon problem. At first, it seems clear that Amazon is definitely in the naughty corner, but maybe there is more to it than meets the eye. Today we’re exploring the need to add friction to our purchases, whether Amazon’s efficiency is commendable, and even taking a look into Hannah’s Amazon history. So grab some tea, get comfy, and hit that play button. And if you have to hit pause...2022-12-0730 min
The Tea on Sustainable Living#18 | Paintings, protests, and climate activismWould YOU throw soup at a Van Gogh painting?In today’s episode, we discuss some recent examples of climate activism, how we feel about them, and what our climate activism barriers are.Because there’s no one right way to tackle this climate crisis, but does that mean we can’t contribute a bit more to these organizations? Even if it’s just starting conversations? Are we getting too caught up in the acts themselves?Grab some tea, get comfy, and hit that play button. Resources:#7 | To fly o...2022-11-2236 min
The Tea on Sustainable Living#17 | Saving the planet one sleep at a timeWhen was the last time you had an amazing night's sleep?

The Tea on Sustainable Living#16 | Spending money on things we don't needHave you ever bought something simply because you wanted it? Yeah, we thought so. (Well, we’re assuming so.) Or maybe you’re like Brandee and occasionally go on spending sprees. In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the wave of guilt her recent spree has brought on, what makes us want to consume in the first place, and whether there’s a way to consume that is more ethical.So grab some tea, get comfy, and hit that play button.

The Tea on Sustainable Living#13 | The intersectionality of climate change (and how to take action)Are you a “set it and forget it” environmentalist, or do you need to know the details behind each action you take? In this week's episode, we take a look at some of the broader issues that intersect with sustainable practices and advocating against climate change. When so much is interconnected, how do we take action?We have a conversation that many of you will be familiar with. Do we focus on individual or systemic action? How do we choose where to focus our energies? Do we choose to trust the information that comes to us f...2022-05-3133 min
The Tea on Sustainable Living#12 | Spilling the tea on (wasting) waterBecause even though it doesn’t always feel like it, water is a limited resource.In today’s episode, we are taking a deep dive into (wasting) water and how we can start treating it more like the limited resource that it is. We chat about Brandee’s love of long hot showers (and what’s even considered long), the proper way to wash dishes, and some of our more intimate bathroom secrets (like how often we flush and whether we brush our teeth in the shower).

The Tea on Sustainable Living#11 | Moving (house) and living with roommatesToday, we are spilling the tea on moving (house) and living with roommates.We get it; it can be very tempting to simply leave all of your old crap behind (or throw it away) and buy all new stuff in your new apartment/flat/whatever you call it. But that’s probably not the most environmentally friendly way to move.In today’s episode, we struggle (slightly) to get back into the groove of podcasting after Hannah’s brief hiatus. We chat about Hannah’s recent move (the reason for her hiatus), how there’s no one rig...2022-05-0345 min

Braden Storytelling GrantSeen and Heard: Voices from Ghana's Orphanages by Christine ChenIn the past few decades, orphans in Africa have become defined by snapshots: snapshots of jutting ribs, ragged clothes, hopeless eyes. Those images have become the face of international charity work and have helped drive the idea that we should send resources to help. But there are things that can’t be captured in snapshots. In this story, Christine Chen travels to the West African country of Ghana, to talk with the people directly involved with orphan care there—the social workers, orphanage directors, families, and kids. There, she encounters narratives that put an unexpected twist on our understanding of o...2015-01-0126 min
