  • Episode 140 - Make It Easy on Yourself

    March 17th, 2013  |  33 mins 25 secs

    A meditation on self-forgiveness. Used to think that was a lame phrase, an exercise in twaddle. Not so!

  • Episode 139 - Journey with Boo (Me and You)

    February 15th, 2013  |  31 mins 17 secs

    It's here, that surgical song by Lobo, the artist's sympathetic portrait of a common heartfelt situation. Because it's true to life, however, there may be some hope. Roll up, for a magical mystery tour, with a Dog Named Boo.

  • Episode 138 - Lobo's Dating Tips for Christian Guys

    February 14th, 2013  |  22 mins 3 secs

    He has much to teach us! This podcast, for me, is Camp.

  • Episode 137 - Hero of the War

    February 2nd, 2013  |  23 mins 30 secs

    A short exegesis concerning personal pacifism. Scott Walker's song "Hero of the War" MADE me do it! Oh, and it's John Lennon in "Oh! What a Lovely War". That's a correction.

  • Episode 136 - Peaches La Verne

    January 31st, 2013  |  28 mins 38 secs

    The La Verne Seminar, which took place in the Summer of 1941, is the second most important destination for PZ the Time Traveler. Here's why. It was a credible, persuasive religious retreat. If only one had been able to be there!

  • Episode 135 - Elevator

    January 30th, 2013  |  35 mins 10 secs

    That's Where the Happy People Go!

  • Episode 134 - Pillar of Salt

    January 24th, 2013  |  21 mins 24 secs

    The music -- evoking Lot's wife, and then the Lord's words to Saint Peter. I sometimes think it's all about the music.

  • Episode 133 - Brandy Station

    January 24th, 2013  |  33 mins 19 secs

    This is not a case of "interpretive signage"! You'll have to make up your own mind. But Looking Glass is going to help you, together with, coming right behind, Scott W.

  • Episode 132 - Love in the First Degree

    January 16th, 2013  |  27 mins 47 secs

    This is about forging forward in the spiritual life. Let Bananarama lead the way!

  • Episode 131 - 52 Pickup

    December 19th, 2012  |  26 mins 1 sec

    Here is a thought for the end of the year. Merry Christmas to all!

  • Podcast 130 - OK, All Right! - Victor Hugo

    December 14th, 2012  |  30 mins 4 secs

    I had to do it, tho' didn't want to. Victor Hugo is great; "Victor Hugo" the Phenomenon seems like just another turn of Journey's "Wheel in the Sky." Even so, I had fun with this and hope you like it.

  • Episode 129 - First Infinite Frost

    December 12th, 2012  |  24 mins 34 secs

    An experiment: a true story, from the true-life adventures, but told backwards -- the way it felt at the time. I truly wish this had never happened. Is PZ trying for a James Agee moment? Maybe so. Podcast 129 is dedicated to Adrienne Parks.

  • Episode 128 - Dissociated Chef d'Oeuvre

    December 11th, 2012  |  25 mins 36 secs

    This is not just about another movie, the 1973 musical version of "Lost Horizon". It's about Reflections of yourself, the Approach mirrored in the song "I Come to You", and the Things I Will Not Miss. The movie's a knockout because it's about Real Life.

  • Episode 127 - Hotel Taft

    December 9th, 2012  |  32 mins 52 secs

    Look within yourself, look inside the Black Cauldron. If you take the time to Drag the Line, you'll almost definitely find hope, even joy. Let the bells ring and listen to the Music!

  • Podcast 126 - Amberley Wildbrooks

    December 5th, 2012  |  33 mins 1 sec

    Suffering, Transitoriness, Insubstantiality: three marks of being that seem to me beyond dispute. The last takes a little unpacking, which I try to do. Podcast 126 draws on Matthew's Southern Comfort, and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy.

  • Episode 125 - Now What?

    December 4th, 2012  |  33 mins 26 secs

    In the spirit of the J. Geils Band, Sinuhe the Egyptian looked for it. A proto-hippie Pharaoh gave it to him. The result was a good result. And for you and me!
