Unanswered Prayers - Nothing Can Last Forever

Today, M surprises herself and manages to make an entire episode about a single song, but she's got a long history with it. It's a song that's followed her throughout her life and that raised a difficult question.

Socrates in Love - Beautiful Disturbances

An episode in which M talks about a book you've probably never heard of because foreign literature seldom makes it into the US market and even when a book is... Good like finding it. But Socrates in love is one of M's favorite books, so she wants to talk about it.

And also about love. That's an appealing topic, right?


Transcript available at our website.

Topic of Today's Episode:
Socrates in Love by Koichi Katayama

Recommend reading (like I promised in the podcast)

For the basics on Socrates
[Yay for public domain]
The Republic, The Trial and Death of Socrates, and Symposium
all by Plato and possibly all available for free.

Socrates: A Very Short Introduction
by C. C. W. Taylor
[Not for free by the series of very short introductions is relatively inexpensive.]

Additional readings
[yay for supporting academics...? But seriously get these from a library because academic press books can genuinely be really expensive but these are the ones I try to force onto my friends. And yes, I am a hit at parties.]

Socrates and Aristophanes
by Leo Strauss
Socratic Citizenship
by Dana Villa
Virtue is Knowledge
by Lorraine Smith Pangle

Within the Wires (Revisited) - Things Worth Caring about (is M one of them?)

M revisits Within the Wires and also the darkest recesses of her mind that she otherwise tries to avoid. You know the kind, the one where you keep all those horrible things about yourself that you are too nervous to confront directly. There (and now here) M keeps the reason why she's remained single for so long as well as her thoughts on the one person she has ever fallen in love with.

Five Centimeters per Second - Is That a Good Speed?

Five Centimeters per second is the rate that a cherry blossom falls from the branch. But what about the rate that a human being needs to move from its past? M ponders how quickly she moved or should have been moving, especially in college.

Welcome to Night Vale - [TITLE REDACTED]

Two years ago, I argued that Night Vale could actually be considered utopian. Don't believe me? That's probably because my argument was bad. In this episode, I revisit it and salvage what I can.
