Weshtern Philosophy – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode Bart and Anthony are joined by musician, poet agus ridire ceoil Ghaelaigh Rónán Ó Snodaigh to talk about the role of 'Discomfort' in our lives and in the creative process. We discuss the joys and pains of bringing a song out into the world, the value of self-reflection and relationship, conflict, uncertainty, knowledge, Leonard Cohen, Dolly Parton, where the good songs come from and how (hopefully) not to be a gobshite.

In this episode Bart and Anthony speak about the topic of 'Environment'. Or 'Systems'. Or 'Myth', 'Politics' or 'Musicals'. What actually happened is that we just started talking and assumed we'd find a topic and instead ended up on a very enjoyable and meandering journey, with an always-wonderful guest appearance from Katrien Cogan.

In this episode Bart and Anthony speak, from the safety of their mid-30s, about the topic of 'Adventure'. I mean, technically. It mostly ends up being about the Lord of the Rings. Which is exactly what Anthony was afraid of, but also delighted about.

In this episode Bart and Anthony speak about something that tangentially informed the creation of the pod itself, a tricky and multi-faceted thing: 'The Drink'. We chat about our own relationships with alcohol, the personal and societal roles it plays, what it can teach us and perhaps what it can hide from us.
