Hiya Podfam. We're all about the pivot today. We're scooping up our things and going the other direction. Ben and Phil talk about life changes, poop wiping technique, Phil's sex life, and a bunch of other stuff which is really interesting and this is really a good episode. But Phil is writing this up at the wee hours of the morning and can't remember words or meaning at this time. So please listen and find out if you're curious about reframing narratives, creating new habits, about establishing meaningful change in your life, and about making space for hope. xo Outro music a reprise of...

Boing boing merry merry pentacles suit podfam! Special guest and old friend Sam Vodopia joins Phil on pod for a reading and a very loosely themed 'ace of pentacles' episode. If you zoom way out you can sort of see how what we discuss is on topic for Ace of Pentacles, which is about how we set goals and understand our obstacles. Anyway, Phil gives Sam a mini lesson on Tarot readings and how they work, and we talk about being a stoner, justice, the law, anger, violence, linguistics, the nature of human communication and human meaning, polyvagal theory, spirituality, musical practice... more....

Episode 7: Shame part 1
Taropedia
Hi folks -- another two-parter today. I don't know if we speak shame directly in this episode but when I zoom out I think the seven of swords (our card for the day) is a good face for us to project shame onto, for our learning. Shame is the word of the day, then. We talk about a lot; theater, healing, prayer, social duplicity, honesty... Phil gives Ben a reading. There's Phil's music sprinkled in. I'm gonna include some relevant quotations on shame in religious communities here, starting with one we actually reference in the episode, from a very old poet named Jnaneshvara. Embarrassed by...

Episode 6: Blitz

Special pod favorite Erica Dicker joins Phil on pod and they consume two bottles of wine together while Erica gives Phil a reading. A precious hour-or-so of audio (the beginning of the episode) is lost due to a corrupt SD card which is sad. Yet we are big grateful for the audio present here. Six of swords is the episode card, and we lost a lot of the audio explaining it. It's.... stings of the heart. Rapid-fire decisions. Fight or flight switch. xoxo pls enjoy this episode with an extra helping of background music. An album of music called 'Three Days" by Vaster Than Empires, Erica Dicker,...
