Article About Us

A newspaper that covers public radio and public television has published something about our year away. Here is a link to Current’s blurb:

And here’s the text:

Jim Wildman, a senior producer on Morning Edition, has taken a sabbatical from NPR to embark on a yearlong journey with his family that will span three continents.

Their trip is inspired by a quote from the Bible’s Psalm 8: “God, brilliant Lord, your name echoes around the world.” In an email to Current, Wildman wrote: “We are venturing out in to a world that we believe is God’s creation. His creative mark is all around us. As we travel, we’re hoping to experience these marks — the echoes — in new ways.” Wildman and his wife, Suby, initially planned a two-week sojourn overseas. That grew into a month, then a summer, then a whole year. Now the Wildmans, who are parents to three boys, plan to visit roughly 20 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia. They’ve already been to Iceland and France.

“Along the way, Suby and I have had disagreements over food, struggled as parents and only now started to feel like we can do this,” Wildman says. “The boys have embraced our blog, fought in the back seat and discovered that milk and cereal doesn’t always taste the same as it does at home.”
