Crescendo Podcast

We've switched it up a little this time.

Instead of one guest, Maywood! invited the entire cast of the local theater production of No Exit onto the show to discuss the philosophical implications of Jean-Paul Sartre's famous play. They also perform a short scene. Enjoy!

If you're a local listener, come see their actual production this Sunday (June 3rd)! The performance is hosted at the Sherborn Community Center in beautiful Sherborn, Massachusetts at 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Tickets sold at the door.

SparkNotes for No Exit (great analysis):

Maywood! has three local guests on the show to talk about their experiences with happiness, and philosophies on how to achieve it. Quite possibly the most inspiring episode yet.

You may want to listen to the podcast on reduced speed, if you can - we hit you with a lot of ideas really fast. Best of luck.

Finally! It's here. We think this episode on human investments is fascinating. You get to learn about everything from the value of money to the purpose of life. Pretty good deal for a 17-minute show. Enjoy!

Ever had questions about the meaning of life? Well, Maywood! can't really definitively answer those questions, but he does his best in this long-anticipated episode. Thanks for patiently waiting. Enjoy!

I thought I'd clarify what I argued in the episode. I must have forgotten to mention that I'm a huge proponent of religion, and am extremely active in my local UCC church. In no way am I labeling religion as a force of evil; although it can be used to justify horrible acts, it supports far more human good. My argument in this episode is that religion needs to quickly respond to other, fast-growing "ways of thinking," like everyday technology to continue to be relevant.

Maywood! deeply apologizes for this long-overdue episode. We think that it's pretty good, though - he compares the different classes of the music industry and gets some hands-on interviews with local musicians and artists. Enjoy!

The episode with the weirdest intro-rap (over Oedipus) we've ever seen. Besides the initial discomfort, the episode is pretty good - Maywood! writes and reads some fiction about the future of society and the blockchain. Pretty interesting. Would recommend.

Babokon joins the show for a full-length interview in this powerful episode. Maywood! sat on this audio footage for about 6 months, and is only now releasing it. He deeply apologizes, but we're not sure we'll forgive him for it - the interview is that good.

While we heal the rift in our one-man production team, enjoy this insightful episode.

In this one-of-a-kind episode, Maywood! decides to quit podcasting and become a monk. Not really. It's still a great show - it comes with a complementary meditation snack platter. Enjoy!

Crescendo Podcast returns from a brief hiatus for the first of 10 great episodes. In this episode, Maywood! argues that your music that you listen to is actually a conscious, sentient being. Enjoy!

Apollo and Polyspace join us today for the season finale, where we look at the same set of questions for both musicians and graphic designers. Thanks for listening to Season 4!
