Otis Brown's Podcast
Interesting Stuff: reflections on the American place with side trips into literature, art, music, culture and language.Otis Brown's Podcast is a weekly 20 minute monologue podcast often addressing current issues through the lens of personal anecdotes and American Art and Culture--think of it as a radio show you can listen to whenever you want. With free-ranging stories built around cultural figures from John Lewis to Dolores Huerta, musicians from Little Richard to Dolly Parton and painters from the cave painters of Chauvet to living artists like Wayne Thiebaud, Otis Brown's Podcast attempts to construct literary narratives that try and make sense of the beautiful American mess we walk with in the world.

Now that the Graduation season is upon us, let's think about unlearning, let's sing the virtues of resisting training, let us move confidently now in the direction of our dreams . I don't know. In this week's podcast, I tell a story about a friend who wouldn't throw a ball for a dog and reflect on a life spent mostly on a front porch playing a guitar and complaining about the heat.
I hope this is something you relate to and enjoy.
