    Garden of Thought E.281 Centaurs & Sagitarius

    Bernie Taylor rejoins us because I inspired him. Yes, I inadvertently inspired the content of this episode by raising the possibility that Sagitarius was a centaur. So, cover centaurs we shall. From myths to cave art to descriptions of figures from history, we cover all the space. That includes the zodiac and constellations. That includes greek myths and Siberian tribes. No thrown rocks nor slung arrows are left unturned. Some (in)famous Jeff pontifications are laid forth.

    Meet Barry Walton. He's produced 7 documentariies. He's won an Emmy. He recently published "The Unknown Adventurer". And he's either the luckiest unlucky guy or the unluckiest lucky guy. He's traveled much ofthe world. He's lost a lot of jobs. And homes. And other stuff. He's been married to the mob.He's been in a bunch of fights. He's been broke. But he's always overcome.  Now he appears on this podcast to talk about himself and his book, without talking too much about himself and giving away the book. I think we did a pretty good job and had a good time doing just that.

    Garden of Thought E.279 Shakespeare and the Occult

    Shakespeare is a giant hole in my knowledge base. But I do know the occult or paranormal played center stage in many of his works. But that's about where it ends for me. So, a call to experts was needed. And like the fires of Rohan, they were answered. Enter frequent guest (and friend) Rev. Dr. David Parry and former thespian and current professional wrestler, Aron Haddad Stephens. Not only do they cover Shalespeare, but they cover pretty much everything. From esoteric schools of thought to philosophy, it's tackled from the lenses of the Elizabethan period and the modern periods. There are some history lessons along the way. Some working definitions. And certain philosophies oft identified with certain names or groups. Any useful substance I added is aided by luck. And of course I added a Dr. D David Schultz joke in.  David is not your typical clergymen. And Aron is far more than a grappler. We might just have given birth to an intellectual tag team for future shows.
