The concept for the My Favorite Things podcast is simple: Each guest compiles a list of five books, movies, music, art, and other creative works that have helped shape their lives. My guest for Episode 12 is Jonathan Ellsworth, writer, podcaster, founder of Blister Review, and former philosophy professor. Jonathan’s favorite things are:

* Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

* Philosophy as a Way of Life by Pierre Hadot

* Pulp Fiction (trailer)

* Don Quixote by Pablo Picasso

* “Mississippi” by Bob Dylan

Other stuff we talked about:

* “Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie” by Bob Dylan
