Inner Monster Podcast

I'm surrounded by hordes of the undead, my supplies are running low, and I make a terrible choice in this last recording..

In this episode, I veer off a bit from the mythology slant for a quick jaunt to talk about zombies..specifically the rage zombies from the film 28 Days Later.  We'll move on to the origins of the fast zombie to my bad temper and wall-punching to the way to express anger in a healthy way that makes everyone's life better.

While traveling in Africa, my host's goats wake us up, and when we head outside, we find a deadly creature waiting for us..

In this episode, I'll explore the myth of the Catoblepas, a heavy-headed deadly creature in Greek naturalism.  From there, I'll go into my experience fracturing my spine, taking the altMBA, and how those two experiences changed both my physical posture, but also the posture that I take in life.  I'll also talk a bit about how you can change your posture without a trip to the hospital.
