The Troubadour Podcast
"It is the honourable characteristic of Poetry that its materials are to be found in every subject which can interest the human mind." William Wordsworth The Troubadour Podcast invites you into a world where art is conversation and conversation is art. The conversations on this show will be with some living people and some dead writers of our past. I aim to make both equally entertaining and educational.In 1798 William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge published Lyrical Ballads, which Wordsworth called an experiment to discover how far the language of everyday conversation is adapted to the purpose of poetic pleasure. With this publication, he set in motion the formal movement called "Romanticism." 220 years later the experiment is continued on this podcast. This podcast seeks to reach those of us who wish to improve our inner world, increase our stores of happiness, and yet not succumb to the mystical or the subjective.Here, in this place of the imagination, you will find many conversation with those humans creating things that interest the human mind.

Objectivist Conference 2019 and Art W/Anu Seppala
This year is a very special Objectivist Conference. It's the 50th anniversary of Ayn Rand's The Romantic Manifesto!
This work of nonfiction has not had the loud cultural impact of her political and economic work, but I believe it has impacted many artists in very personal ways.
More importantly, it has impacted many individuals in helping to bring to life the art around them.
This is a conference not to be missed. And I was able to chat with Anu Seppala of the Ayn Rand Institute to discuss the value of art in our lives and the value of OCON 2019.
Oh and be prepared for some recommendations on courses, books, articles and plays that will change your whole existence!
