Extraordinary Discourse Podcast

Clips for the Creatively Maladjusted. Helpful Hints for radicals, intellectuals, strangers, artists, dreamers, readers, writers, speakers, activists, pacifists, fools, and professors. Extraordinary Discourse has been long in preparing. A multi-voiced thought adventure, around an hour a week. Its many themes converge in the theme of Play. Walt Whitman: "Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged. Missing me one place, search another. I stop somewhere waiting for you."

Extraordinary Discourse 052

Diversified Portfolio

From Winter at Zarathustra's House to God's Playroom, with many timely stops and starts between.

The daily paper is a good example of a happening because everything that’s in it happens at the same moment. The dateline is the only organizing principle in a newspaper. There is no connection between the items otherwise than the datelines. And if you take away the dateline from any newspaper whatever, you have a quite handsome surrealist poem.
Marshall McLuhan,
Contemplating Me

Utterance alone can heal the ailing spirit.
