PODCAST

The Passing Through Podcast

I currently live in a German-made van named Wilma with my partner. We’ve given up our old way of life and are touring Europe – passing through farms and eco-villages while I record a rambling, ranting podcast examining consciousness, mental health, ecology, philosophy, mindfulness, literature, language, and the human condition. Fasten your seatbelt and come along for the ride!
