Stuck in the car with Steve

This isn't an episode, just a song that I recorded one time when I was bored. It ended up becoming a really meaningful song for me, and I've used it in shows and all sorts of things. I thought it deserved to be up here just for good measure.

In this final episode of the series, many of the ideas explored come together somewhat synergistically, to offer something of a moment of clarity. When I started recording these explorations of my own ideas I thought it would be a simple re-treading of my own well-explored philosophical musings, but this final day of driving and recording offered me a new way of combining these thoughts and a reinvigorated approach to my thoughts and my work.
I don't know if any of these recordings will mean much to anybody, but the process of exploring them sequentially, and this final moment of clarity, has been particularly cathartic for me. Thank you for coming along for the journey!

This second part of exploring our relationship with death deals predominantly with thoughts around social attitudes toward the loss of others in our lives.

A longer episode, and the first of three (it was a long stretch of road!) exploring our complicated relationship with death. Primarily this episode explores ideas around the personal death of an individual, and where that sits in modern society...

As a father with a daughter, I've spent more time in the last five years questioning the idea of the patriarchy than ever before. I never thought it was a good idea, but there's so many more layers to it now that I'm trying to raise a strong, healthy young woman.

Having a kid wasn't an easy decision for me, and I think it's becoming more complicated for many others too, but this is why I came around...

Sexual dimorphism is the condition where sexes of the same species exhibit different morphological characteristics. They don't always present as directly related to reproduction but often influence reproductive selection or behaviour in some way. What might the differences between the sexes teach us about ourselves?

A bit of an exploration into the similarities we share with the natural world...

I have a tendency to not believe in myself. Sometimes it sucks and sometimes it hurts, but maybe it's also a good thing?

Another introspective personal ramble, this time musing over my internal philosophy, and how it has changed over time.
