Have you noticed? Curious Cat is not a political podcast. It's a place where I explore strange, nebulous, mysterious aspects of life, death, history, science and spirit. I don't so much pick topics as my guides queue them up, set them like a golf ball onto a tee. I can't tell you how many times during morning minutes something takes over my pen and writes out what is next. Sometimes it's a name I've never heard of that I'm called to research, like Raziel and Azrael, other times they dictate a mini-monologue.

But, not being a political podcast, I am a citizen of the world and I see and feel the tension of this moment in history. And boy, we are inflamed, both on a collective level and within the individual. 

My guides said this was the perfect day to offer up an anti-inflammatory, a Benadryl-version of a podcast, or better yet, chicken soup for the soul.

Oh, and I'll share how sniffing your partner's sweaty gym clothes can reduce your blood pressure. :0

Let's get into it.
