09/24/20 • 42 min
This episode shares "the essential realizations" of Carl G. Jung's Symbols of Transformation, a work that has great practical value for everyone living. He tries to answer the questions, "What did Jung think?" & "Why is it good to think it?" Dane touches upon why Jung remains counterculture, and shares the man's major Not-Freudian theories in fun ways that skirt the need for dedicated hours of study. And so, this podcast leverages more popular & digestible works such as The Portable Jung, Inner Work, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, and We've Had 100 Years of Psychotherapy and the World is Getting Worse, rather than primary materials from the Collected Works of Jung, which most readers find unapproachable. (Dane's read many of those, too, but they don't make for great podcasting!) Enjoy.

Episode 18 - HiFi & Confidence
This episode focuses on music, with a documentary-like breakdown of a very famous Dire Straits song. Dane talks about how attention-to-detail is the key component of High-Fidelity (HiFi) audio recordings, and explains the difference between audiophile quality and crapola. It features the unedited lyrics of a song that aired censored (an entire verse was missing from the MTV version), and explains how/why authors/writers use authentic language in their work. Damn the censors! In the latter part of the ep, Dane explains why confidence matters and how you can develop it for yourself. Have a blast!

Episode 20 - Free Speech in Comedy & Music
In October, 1973, WBAI radio in New York City aired legendary comedian George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words" at around 2:00PM. A complaint was lodged by a listener, and the results of that complaint took the radio station (Pacifica Foundation) all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1978. Years later in 1985, 22 individuals who called themselves the Parents Music Resource Center leveraged their disproportionate political power to challenge free enterprise in the music industry. Dane shares speeches by John Denver and Frank Zappa, and provides all the context surrounding these events, and how they lead to the present reduction of our 1st Amendment rights and greenlit situations of "limited Free Speech." His Song of the Day to Check Out is John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High."
Note: George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" are now a preserved work in the Library of Congress's National Registry, along with the rest of his fantastic 1972 album Class Clown.
