BUT(T) - The Podcast

A Conversation on Death! With Dr. Sheldon Solomon


Listen Later

In this episode I interview (have a conversation with) Dr. Sheldon Solomon PhD.  He was a college professor already in the year I graduated from High School in 1980 (if that tells you anything!). An interesting fun fact that Dr. Solomon claims for himself in relation to Skidmore: "I have been here longer than most of the buildings and furniture!" Good laughs and some serious reflections happen in this interview. I am rating this episode "explicit" because of the intensity of the content and for the occasional "f" bomb that was dropped. I'm good with it, but just wanted you, my listeners, to know.  I think some pretty deep discussion was had here - and this is a place where we need to go as a culture.  I thank Dr. Solomon for leading us there. A book he referred to in our conversation was Rollo May's The Cry for Myth.  Please check out the movie "UNFIT" on Amazon Prime in which Dr. Solomon has a pretty significant part. Also, links below are for Dr. Solomon's book, Worm at the Core, on the role of death in life, written with two of his colleagues.  Below are links to the book and to Dr. Solomon's page at Skidmore College.  Thanks for listening and for not letting your but(t) get in the way!
