A new podcast I recommend: “Bulk Beans & Bicycles”
Regular readers and listeners to my podcast know Evelyn from her being a guest and my mentioning her. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned Hayden, but both of them took my workshop in sustainability leadership (I recommend you do too).
They started a podcast together called Bulk Beans & Bicycles. They posted the first episode a few days ago. Here’s the link to the podcast’s home page and to a page that links to all the other places to listen.
They cover living more sustainably, each post-mindset shift and continually improving. They aren’t just talking theory or telling you what you should do. They’re living more sustainably, seriously, also joyfully. They’re fun at times, serious at others, but always engaging.
They talk based on hands-on practical experience, which few to no well-known environmentalists can do. That means they speak with credibility and integrity that nearly no one else speaking on the environment can. (They also talk about me, but don’t let that topic dissuade you.)
Quoting from their page:
The Podcast
Bulk Beans & Bicycles is about how sweet life is on the other side of living more sustainably.
Bulk Beans & Bicycles features segments such as “We Like to Bike” — where Hayden and Evelyn discuss adventures, misadventures, and lessons from their bicycles — and “Invitation Exchange” — where Hayden and Evelyn hear an invitation offered by guests and, in turn, invite their guests to create a Personalized Activating Challenge (PAC). They also regularly play the world’s most wholesome version of Truth or Dare.
With a rotating cast of special guests mixed with Evelyn and Hayden’s natural rapport, it’s possible you just met your new favorite podcast.
The Origin Story
Co-hosts Evelyn Wallace and Hayden Kessinger have worked together in the sustainability space since 2024. When asked to define their dream job, they each separately gave the same answer: bike long distances and spread the good word about sustainability that sets you free. Launching a podcast felt like a natural component of such work, and thus, Circle Game’s first podcast was born.
Bulk Beans & Bicycles is the culmination of many years of dreaming, planning, and finally just jumping right in. For VIP info on new episodes and insider-onlh Q&A sessions… or if you have guest recommendations… CONTACT US.
