May 23, 2019 You Are Infinite
This week's episode is a short poem I wrote for a treasure hunt I made that took explorers on a journey up a small mountain in Toohey Forest. The hunt was augmented by some meditations by popular philosopher from the 1970's Alan Watts and Sam Harris. If you would like to listen to more waxing philosophy like this let me introduce you to Alan at the link below.

Welcome back to the second episode! This week I talk with a good friend of mine John Catania about my favourite film sub-genre: time travel. We discuss the methods that the medium of film has at its disposal to grab an audiences' attention, how much does an audience need to start creating their own fictional reality, and what makes a fictional reality within a filmic universe compelling.
