Welcome to the World Via, your new favorite philosophy-adjacent podcast. This podcast is the brainchild of the creative minds behind Cabin Boy Minute Podcast.
Our intimate analysis of that wonderful movie revealed to us that there’s a depth to the most minute things and a random topic such as coffee machines or bags of basmati rice can lead to a profound discussion about life and the universe. We came to realize that we could escape the confines of film media and turn to the world around us for inspiration.
The belief of your hosts, Rob and Brian, is that with the holistic nature of the universe, much can be learned from any and every corner of it, and we seize the opportunity to grab the comet tail of randomness and eke order from it. Every episode, we will take on a different topic and discuss it in all its multitudes. We will attempt to see how far the rabbit hole goes and crawl back out, if we can.
To aid us in our escape, we use the the guiding light of a sconce. Why a sconce you ask? The most random and banal an object as you could choose? It provoked a surprisingly deep discussion when we first encountered them in Cabin Boy Minute. Ubiquitous, illuminating, possessing a form that is both fixed and mutable. It served as an inspiration and guide light to all of our talks. As such, we end each
episode with a discussion about how the topic relates to sconces, before returning our minds, and your ears, back to the real world.
So please, grab hold, buckle up and come along for a ride through the universe with us on The World Via.
