- Thinking, Moods, and Preoccupations
Or, how I think my way from “stuck” to clear, moving through anger, misunderstanding, and possible loss, all toward a peaceful conclusion thanks to the miracle of forgiveness.
Warmest regards,
Allen17 min - Please Wait to Be Seated
In which a few unscripted moments are turned into ancestral traumas comically compared, and life at the Quadrangle revealed.

Allen21 min - This Old Man Comes Clean
Mainly about the podcasts. But because my podcasts tend to be so personal, there’s probably a little more here than you want to know.
Warmest regards,
Allen7 min - Darby Rd 302
A brief primer on comedy and appropriateness, ways of enjoying yourself with others, old sailors home from the sea.
4 min - Enjoying Your Way Through a Dull Day
I also thought of entitling the podcast, “Reasoning Your Way Through a Day of Problems,” but it didn’t sound as good.
Once again I must apologize. There is absolutely no philosophy here.
Warmest regards,
Allen15 min - Encounters of a Sunday Afternoon
Dominated by care. On everyone’s part, including yours.
Warmest regards,

About This Old Man
From the publisher's feed
Join THIS OLD MAN--the podcast and the host--weekly, daily, monthly, whenever it serves as a suitable place for the eponymous Allen Scult to continue his life's work and play in philosophy. Scult's…
thinking takes him--and the listener--to a variety of philosophical landscapes, not least of which relates to his own being, now an old man. Scult draws on his own work/play, as well as many of the great philosophers across time, especially Heidegger, Nietzsche, Plato, Socrates. Sometimes calm but never boring, as applicable to everyday life as to death, This Old Man resonates with the deep wisdom and sacred energies of the natural world, in which it is recorded. Follow This Old Man down to the river, into the woods, out of the cave, and to whatever other sites of pilgrimage and holiness Scult visits, making of the world places to be and to see.
