    May The Cycle Remain Uncompleted

    In our first episode in a year, we return to discuss the notion of “completion.” Why “the cycle has been completed” is a specter, the un-finality of death, the afterlives and postscripts of friendships and creative works, “getting it popping,” messianic time, ascendance to Unc-hood, and more. We also ponder Nick’s recent visit to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin III in Spring Green, Wisconsin, discussing the need for a recommitment to the creation of new forms as we enter a possible ice age for language.

    Love and the Cosmos

    On this follow up to last year’s blighted Valentine’s Day episode, Hank and Ryder chart a new course into the cosmic meaning of love, via Russian cosmism and the Christological philosophy of Vladimir Solovyov.

    Eternal Present feat. Sam

    On this episode we’re joined by our young friend Sam (S. Posner). We discuss intergenerational dialogues, Massachusetts regional nomenclatures, the foreclosure of futurity and the miraculous eternal present of Chicago’s Bop music, the twilight of adolescence, the ungovernable nature of online personae, ecstasy, Marxism’s afterlives, Antonio Negri (RIP) and the possibility of separation from capital’s false totality, and much more.

    The Plea feat. Eamon

    On this episode we’re joined by our friend Eamon, who tells us about his exile in language as Irish-American absconded to Colombia. We talk small-town Irish mythology and small-town Minnesotan mythology: drinking naggins, smoking spice, avoiding faery forts, Irish Travelers, being a dodgy teenager, and much more. Finally we get into a rather serious discussion about the insufficiencies of language and the miracle of communication. When language fails, what happens next?

    Against Evil

    On this prelude to Anchoret Season 2, Hank and Ryder return from their unexplained hiatus with something of an explanation, which gives way to convos on the nature of Evil and fighting the Great Deceiver, loving America, the call for a Midwestern Hermeticism, a rural Wisconsin Bauhaus, the joys of frolf, autofictional depletion, Philip K. Dick’s VALIS, and more. We chart our path forward for Season 2, which will include long-form research projects into vital images of the Past and Future that capture our utopian imaginary, abundant interviews with friends and acquaintances, as well as classic Anchoret dialogues and digressions. As always, we thank you for your continued listenership and support.

    River Rats

    In this episode we talk about our relationship to the Mississippi River and the back yard of our house. We celebrate Mr. Buddy, our beloved backyard groundhog, and the dust-flopping bunnies of twilight. We talk about the mystery of terroir and its role in fulfilling the unfinished promise of youth, and pay tribute to the process of wading upstream towards no particular place.

    Destabilization Period

    In this 1-year reflection episode, we aren’t feeling very reflective. We talk about how it started versus how it’s going, in a new period of destabilization and germination. We trade in books for unfiltered experience. Hank recounts Gershom Scholem’s memoir of his friendship with Walter Benjamin; Ryder reads a bit from The Gay Science. To finish out we talk about the value of being Engaged in A Project, and faced with an atmosphere of dumbness we decide that More Will Be Revealed. Sorry 4 The Weight.
