The Art of Being a Mutt
When your interests span from many to more, it seems natural to dive in head-first to whatever the moment calls for. I like interesting things, some of you like interesting things too. We'll try that: discussing interesting things. History, psychology, mythology, arts, science, music, mental and physical health, literature, and more. Hosted by Philip Cottingham, writer, musician, learner of unlearnt things.

Episode 31
In this episode I discuss some ideas that make up Robert Bly’s book The Sibling Society. What does he mean by the title? What does it mean to become an elder? What about responsibility and prolonged adolescence? How about our desires to be famous? I cover some of these topics while pointing to the person next me as if it wasn’t I who smelt it and dealt it. Thanks for listening.
