In this intimate new episode of the Free Radical Podcast, host Swami Padmanabha sits down for a second recorded conversation with renowned Franciscan teacher and author, Father Richard Rohr, at his hermitage in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Filmed in the relaxed setting of Richard’s home—with his dog Opie by his side—this unique encounter flows through a series of symbolic gifts Swami brought, sparking rich reflections on:
The eternal becoming of love, God, soul, and matter
Insights from Richard’s book, "The Tears of Things", including the need for collective grief and training prophets
His men’s rites of passage program
Sacred critique within tradition, and confronting systemic evil

The episode also touches on the mystical dance of divine reality, Richard’s generous endorsement of Swami’s book Evolution in Divine Love, and the beauty of aging into authenticity—even in bathrobes.
