Welcome to this first ever episode of Swadharma. Today, Brad, Rachel, Mayfield, and Eric discuss a Religious Quest that we’ve been going on together this Fall at Fitchburg State University. We’ll listen to some vibes from Bird & Red, Spillage Villiage, The Oh Hellos, Samm Henshaw, and Willie Nelson. We’ll talk some theory of religion, some vulnerability and happiness, a little neural network phenomenology, and some intersubjective anthropology. As usual, we’ll round things off with our Homegrown segment on the birth of our calf, Yogi. As always, this first-ever episode of SwaDharma is proudly brought to you by Abby’ss Blue Hole Brewing: Deeper and Wetter.
