Morning Splendor

October 27, 2025 • 45 mins
I've been pretty obsessed with the idea of forgiveness the last few years, trying to tease apart when it empowers and when it becomes something that appeases the worst kind of behavior. So when my friend Katy told me about Wilma Derksen, a woman who chose forgiveness in the face of unimaginable tragedy, I had to figure out how she was able to do it.

Fearful Symmetry

May 24, 2023 • 40 mins
One of the great ironies of today's "Golden Age" of podcasts is that it's hard to find work that stands out and has creative ambitions.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. https://fearfulsymmetry.org/about/ MUSIC! https://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-three/prayingspace https://soundcloud.com/gumbelgrumble https:/...
