Romantic Notions of Progress 11/08/2021

Romantic Notions of Progress The late Romantic era sees an explosion of technological progress, but with that shift comes a change in what it means to not only be an artist, but what it means to be human as well.

Classically Enlightened 10/18/2021

Classically Enlightened The Enlightenment provides some of the most unified artistic visions in our shared history.

Baroquen Ideals 10/11/2021

Creation and Reformation 10/04/2021

Creation and Reformation Martin Luther’s Reformation, while intended to merely change church practices and reinvigorate the doctrine itself turned into a movement of destruction for the art lover of the day. To fill the void, music stepped into the forefront of the newly formed Lutheran church and culture would never be the same. Still elsewhere, King Henry VII staged his own reform movement of sorts and through the drive of his ego, he would set England on course for literary greatness. /episode/index/show/intimepod/id/20688908

The Middle Eight 09/20/2021

The Middle Eight The Dark Ages or the Middle Ages seem horribly impenetrable to us in our modern, secular age.

Can You Take Me Back Where I Came From? 04/19/2021

Can You Take Me Back Where I Came From? The end of 1968 signified both a new beginning and an end to the idealism of the hippies. The Beatles were succumbing to infighting, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix were arrested, and the specters of Charles Manson and the unknown Zodiac Killer were beginning to overtake the popular consciousness. In the midst of all this, mankind achieved a dream that it never truly believed to be possible - stepping foot on the moon. /episode/index/show/intimepod/id/18764489
