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 34
It's been a while since my last episode due to being overly busy (in a good way). In this short episode, I delve into the Trickster character. Trickster is the boundary crosser, the creator of boundaries, and in many cultures, Trickster is the creator of the world. This subject is indeed interesting but its history is vast. I reference Joseph Campbell's work and Lewis Hyde's book Trickster Makes This World, both of which I recommend to you if you enjoy this introduction. Git in and thanks for listening.
