Hey everybody! Episode 115 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Josh Schrei. Josh has an excellent podcast called The Emerald. A few episodes were recommended to me and after listening I could see why. Josh speaks excellently on themes such as animism, shamanism, religion, myth, and is a story teller in the truest sense of the word. His podcast is excellently produced and is engaging, informative, thought provoking, and really shows the wisdom that Josh carries in order to produce such a fantastic show. So it was an honor to have him come on my podcast and share a bit of his wisdom. I trust you all will get a lot out of this episode.

Schrei looks at the most salient issues of our day through a timeless prism — you’ve probably never heard the issue of gun control explored through the medium of the ancient yogic texts and Arthurian legends, or Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s assertions about science and civilization rebutted with Siberian folklore.
At the heart of the podcast is the premise that the imaginative, poetic, animate heart of human experience — elucidated by so many cultures over so many thousands of years — is missing in modern discourse and is urgently needed at a time when humanity is facing unprecedented problems. The Emerald advocates for an imaginative vision of human life and human discourse as it questions deep underlying assumptions about societal progress…”
