Podcast - The Endless Knot

Announcing our Patreon campaign

We chat to James Andean about acousmatic music, interdisciplinary improvisation, the role of narrative in music, and, inevitably, Star Wars. With a piece by James at the end!

We talk about the ways SW:TFA connects to Classical epic and Norse sagas, and literary and theoretical aspects of the movie. Spoilers!

We discuss the etymology of Yule & the Germanic roots of Christmas traditions, along with Dr. Seuss & the Grinch, beer, & the unsavoury meaning of 'mistletoe'.

We chat about stories, myth, and cognition -- and some of the ways narrative shapes our understanding of the world around us. Includes more Doctor Who talk, and some Latin and Old English.

Announcing a new podcast, "As We Like It", about Shakespeare in film, and updating listeners on new videos and upcoming podcast episodes.

We discuss metaphor, travel narratives, Greek & Roman epic, Star Trek, and Doctor Who.

A conversation with history prof. Dr. Liedl about fandom, scifi, treason under Henry VIII, and history.

A special episode, recorded at the cottage! We chat about unplugging, the etymology of 'harvest', poetry, and what to call a group of loons.

We discuss Plato's views on writing, the effects of technology and relationships on memory, and the naming, origin, and mythology of Pluto.

We discuss and play "A Detective Story", touching on Sir Gawain, Sherlock Holmes, memory palaces and other ways to remember things.

The first episode of The Endless Knot Podcast, introducing the concept and exploring the idea of connections in the world around us.
