  • Tripping Like a Sovereign Kid with MARYN SPANGLER
    Nov 28 2025

    Psychedelics are one way to trip, but there are other ways too. Imagination is a portal, I'm a tellin' ya, boo.

    What are these other worlds beyond the gates of imagination? Who inhabits them? Are they dangerous to visit? These questions are a bit of the ground we traverse on this episode.

    Maryn Spangler runs an online school for spiritual education and exploration called The Lorian Association, and her Substack is Love Walks Here.

    Music this episode by, the one and only, Patrick Matey.

  • A Person is a Window and a World and a Horror
    Nov 14 2025

    This episode is about people. Why the hell are they so scary and so interesting at the same damn time?

    Expect a very special guest by the name of Lydia! And another surprise guest further in.

    Also! We'll have Emily Dickinson, Ibn Arabi, and Jean-Paul Sartre chiming in.

    Thanks for listening.

    -

    A person is a window

    With insufficient veil—

    A dark and yawning opening

    Where tattered curtains blow,

    -

    Or where celestial beams

    Of brightness run in veins,

    To every part from every heart,

    To smash the window panes.

  • BECOMING MAGIC with Spring Cheng
    Oct 31 2025

    We all feel stuck at times, am I right? I was just experiencing this a bit ago, matter of fact.

    I know there’s something different, something more, something new. It’s utterly unique. It’s beautiful and, and wonderful! It’s out there ahead of me in the future somewhere. Much more than that I cannot say. I don’t have the deets on it.

    What I do have is what I have. My current identity. My habits. Me. What I always do in this situation that I’m stuck in. Plus distraction. Many invitations to distraction. Many which I’ve followed and found myself even stucker!

    Oh is there any way forward into the new? Into the new next version of me? How do I soften, open, expand?

    Listening to Spring’s story helps me understand.

    Indeed, there's a path that is more like a flow. Indeed, there's becoming once I'm letting go.

    You can find Spring at Resonance Path Institute.

    And you can sign up to get invited to becoming magic hangouts here.

    Thanks for being here.

    "Into this happy night

    Nor saw I aught,

    Without other light or guide,

    Save that which in my heart did burn."

    (St. John of the Cross)

  • River and Wind: An Introduction to Imagination
    Jul 28 2025

    Hello, my friends, and welcome to The Radio, where we explore how to live creative and connected.

    This episode is a journey into the wild, weird, and wonderful. The Imagination.

    You have one. I have one. The what are they for? That's what we begin to explore. Well, just begin to get a feel for. No real clear answers just yet, alright.

    Learn from it. Not about it. That's the idea here. So it will take some time. Take a personal approach. Experimentation.

    Teach a man to imaginate. Teach ourselves. Like we did when we were a kid. What made you who you are?

    Ok, I'm getting a clearer answer even as we speak. Imagination: a magic portal through which we can travel to encounter and experience what we need to learn and grow.
