Animism isn’t just for those living deep in the wild. It exists everywhere - woven into the cracks of the sidewalks, humming in the steel of skyscrapers, lingering in the materials that shape our daily lives.
In this episode, we explore animism in a modern world dominated by concrete and consumerism. What happens to the spirits of place and substance when forests are cleared, mountains are hollowed out, and rivers are rerouted? How do we honor the essence of objects that have been displaced, transformed, or repurposed? Whether you live in a city, a suburb, or a rural landscape, the spirit of the land is still speaking, waiting for acknowledgment.
This episode is for those who want to deepen their awareness of the materials they interact with daily, for those who feel disconnected from nature due to their surroundings, and for anyone seeking to build an animistic practice that aligns with the realities of modern life.
You are already in relationship with the world around you. The question is - how will you engage?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
