Henry David Thoreau said, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Jospeh Campbell said, "Follow your bliss." On a daily basis, most of us fluctuate between the two, trying to avoid one, and seek the other. Unquiet Depseration is a show based around everyday people who are doing interesting, meaningful things -- things for which they have a strong passion. The show is eclectic; sometimes containing commentary and/or independent music. Regardless, there will always be an interview with a person or people who are reaching beyond the everyday grind to grasp something extraordinary.
