In this podcast, Professor Flesh and I tried to figure out how comedy and comedians of all sorts give us a map to navigate life without avoiding truth, and we take our own guesses on what it is about funny things that make that possible. I am very grateful for Prof. Flesch's time and gracious humoring of my half-formed thoughts.

Josh and I went to school together and reconvene here about nothing in particular, but mostly about growing up.

Myths! Heroes! Gods! We covered a lot, but for the first 12~ minutes the gain on the mics was set poorly by me. Learning slowly! Apologies for the issues.

Music for the end of this episode is "hymn to the dawn" by Scott Buckley

Go run.

man, I had a blast recording this. Ryan is a friend from the neighborhood. We got to talk about how he spent his 2020 and the adventures he has been on since then. We did not get to cover his hydration habits but we will. Throughout this episode he was wearing a hoodie that had heating pads in it to keep it warm and I was not as lucky. Looking forward to doing more episodes with friends and becoming a stronger conversationalist. Thank you to everyone who has listened so far and thank you to everyone who sent me feedback (especially you, you know who you are).

one day I will devote a lot of time to making sure that the episode descriptions are useful and contain many references. Not yet. I'll also mix the audio better. Anyway, professor Burt taught me that I know very little and should want (and am able) to know much more, I think that is the gift teachers are uniquely able to give.

I told Liz Bradfield I would want some time away from poetry. I was wrong and this is just me admitting it over 50~ minutes
