Patreon is a way to pay for ad-free episodes of the podcast. At $1 per episode, you get all volumes of Dave's beats and really the whole archive right? And if you want to join a $2 and up that's when you get all of our bonus episodes including right now our Ambulator's series of podcasts on Deadwood. Right now season one we are through the first nine episodes and then next Tuesday we will release an episode on the 10th on Woo which is a great episode.
We often think of metaphors as poetic flourishes, a nice way to punctuate your ideas and make them more relatable. But what if metaphors aren’t simply tools of language but part of thought itself? David and Tamler “dive into†George Lakoff’s theory of metaphors and “explore†the implications of his view that metaphors shape and constrain the ways we conceptualize our experience of the world. Plus if we’re really living in cancel culture, we might as well do some cancelling. Say goodbye to "Singing in the Rain," Latinx, and punny academic titles among other things.
Oh and it’s our 250th episode! It’s been quite a journey. Have we come a long way or are we just spinning our wheels? And for a fun detour, check out our bonus podcast series “The Ambulators†on the great TV series Deadwood.
