| 6/3/25 | William Blake (vs. the World) | I read through the first chapter of John Higgs’ book William Blake vs. the World and give personal commentary. I delve into Blake’s ideas of his four types of vision, and also touch on his fascinating personal mythology. I learned a lot along the way and I hope you will too. Get Higgs’ book, it’s a stellar nonfiction book. Support the show | 50m 09s | ||||||
| 2/12/25 | We Give It All Away | Why do we continue to give our power away? I ramble about Solar Energy, or more simply, responsibility. I think here in America we have fallen short on this. Support the show | 23m 11s | ||||||
| 7/22/24 | Podcasket | America’s up against the ropes. We’re still in the underworld fighting each other instead of fighting our way out. Grab a shovel and seeds, grab some books and a drumset, find a pen and paper, and, oh, who here is a plumber? Support the show | 47m 05s | ||||||
| 10/18/23 | Good Intentions in "The Headstrong Historian" | This is the second (of two short episodes) I did for a project. This one covers Chimamanda Adichie's short story "The Headstrong Historian". It's a story that spans generations and covers the loss of tradition, culture, and family. It does, however, point us back to what it means to rediscover the power of our history and our roots. Support the show | 10m 42s | ||||||
| 10/18/23 | The Magic in "The Shawl" | This is one (of two short episodes) that I did for a project covering Cynthia Ozick's ghostly novella "The Shawl". The first ten pages of the novella were written as a short story and I cover mainly that. If you're into literature this will interest you. Support the show | 13m 06s | ||||||
| 7/4/23 | Star Stowe | In 1997 my friends stumbled upon a murdered woman. Her name was Star. Star was a Playboy model and was deemed Playmate of the Month in 1977. You can read about her online, I recommend Stella Rose Hendrix's videos which are partly uplifting and detailed---while what you'll listen to here exists mainly as a black star in my memory. Not to be melodramatic or anything... It's a brief recollection. Support the show | 26m 19s | ||||||
| 5/10/23 | Fredrick Douglass and Beyond | In this episode, I read a short essay I did about Fredrick Douglass and his critique of "holidays" in the times of slavery. I attempt to draw a correlation between the use of these holidays then and now. Douglass saw them as release valves for acts of insurrection, and one could argue that this idea sustains still today. Music: "The Crave" by Jelly Roll Morton and "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" by James Brown Support the show | 23m 19s | ||||||
| 12/25/22 | Trickster | It's been a while since my last episode due to being overly busy (in a good way). In this short episode, I delve into the Trickster character. Trickster is the boundary crosser, the creator of boundaries, and in many cultures, Trickster is the creator of the world. This subject is indeed interesting but its history is vast. I reference Joseph Campbell's work and Lewis Hyde's book Trickster Makes This World, both of which I recommend to you if you enjoy this introduction. Git in and thanks for... | 22m 43s | ||||||
| 7/12/22 | Anthony D'Onofrio (Founding Member of Ethereum) | I reached out to Anthony because I had heard about his successes in the tech world since leaving the town we both went to Highschool in. In our chat, he articulates how Bitcoin functions and explains how Ethereum, both a cryptocurrency and blockchain platform, functions differently. Naturally, we divert into a number of other worldly matters such as dealing free hugs (that Hug Life), we talk about misspent taxes and trying to be a good person, and we end up on psychedelic therapy.

| 6/3/22 | The Death and Resurrection Show | A book you can't find in the library, at any store, or even buy online--and yet I was able to come across a copy so I'm translating some of it to you. The Death and Ressurection Show walks us through the history of how show business has direct correlations to old-time shamanism. Show business isn't quite the same but it still harnesses the same healing powers that have been around for millennia. It's a fascinating history that Taylor takes us down and I keep it short and try to feed you the m... | 30m 33s | ||||||
| 3/9/22 | Robert Bly’s Sibling Society | In this episode I discuss some ideas that make up Robert Bly’s book The Sibling Society. What does he mean by the title? What does it mean to become an elder? What about responsibility and prolonged adolescence? How about our desires to be famous? I cover some of these topics while pointing to the person next me as if it wasn’t I who smelt it and dealt it. Thanks for listening.

| 2/6/22 | To Fill Our Soul's Belly | Why is mythology so appealing? What does it do to us and for us? I'm still working with it and learning along the way. It can be difficult to navigate and articulate certain topics and ideas, let alone persuade people to see the utility in them if you can't give examples of their practicality. I attempt to in this episode, amongst the babble. When we move into the realm of the personal or the subjective, articulation can leave us wanting more clarity, and when our words become exhausted, perh... | 40m 42s | ||||||
| 12/31/21 | Wrapping Up Another Year | In this episode, I decided to read a short piece, mention significant experiences that unfolded this year, and share a new tune I made. I keep it short but heavy. I hope we all approach the new year with clarity and gratitude, with aims to make it soulful. I'll be reaching out to more guests soon, so don't fret. It's nice to balance the show between having interesting discussions with people while maintaining the freedom to share creative endeavors with you. Cheers to what's to come. &n... | 19m 40s | ||||||
| 11/22/21 | Underworld Shii | A Sumerian goddess named Inanna was likely the inspiration for the legion of goddesses that came after her. In this episode, I cover some history of Inanna and mention a few reasons why mythology fascinates me. Come on down to Nanna Town. The opening is an excerpt from Alan Moore and J.H.

| 10/15/21 | A Book I Wrote | In this episode, I discuss my last book, Michael's Mind. I've found myself returning to the ideas as of late with new perspectives, more appreciation, and overall some fresh takes on it. I spend a few short minutes discussing some of the ideas and hash out the main plot with aims to entice you to check it out. If anything, I had fun talking about it, and maybe you'll take something away from the episode. Order Books – Words-N-Stories (philipcottingham.com) Tune: Mozez-So Still -... | 27m 00s | ||||||
| 9/16/21 | Earth: She's What's for Dinner | In this episode, Alissa shares with me information worth knowing. She received her BA in ecology and biodiversity and is currently pursuing her Master's Degree. She's tasted the fruits of her labor working on a farm in Pescadero, California, and has spent time in the National Parks Conservancy educating the public and aiding in land restoration. We chat about her experiences, what she's learned, and how might we apply this knowledge to our lives. We also talk about fire and its benefit... | 58m 15s | ||||||

| 7/12/21 | Musick N’ Talk (Covid Edition) | I have the plague. Or COVID. It's been a week and a day so I chat some, play some music, tell you all about books and movies I've been reading and watching, such as POOKA!, Sex, Drugs & Magick, Sand Talk, etc. I also recommend my favorite podcasts.

| 6/20/21 | An Old Southern Woman | This episode is with my soon-to-be 84-year-old grandma. She talks about the old days (of course.) From hoedowns to canning vegetables, our family musical roots, family genealogy, racial prejudices, interesting murder stories, and her religious experiences.

We chat about his life in prison to roaming the streets of Little Rock, and how his love of poetry saved him, subsequently transforming him into the Luckiest Man.

He has an impeccable memory for counting cards, sleight of hand tricks, juggling, illusions, and mathematics. People Person is the board game he created. He's done standup comedy. He surprises us and drops the truth on the Clifford the Big Red Dog conspiracy you didn't know you didn't know. I play us in with a brand new tune from his band Adam VS. Collin. Enjoy our discussion.

| 3/1/21 | Is That a Giant Pink Bird? w/ Zach Williams | My buddy Zach returns to chat about ingroup/outgroup with me. This wasn't a planned discussion but it floated to the top and we built something out of it. We navigate the topic with a lightheartedness--a reminder that in this complexity of our human experience we're all in it together, this thing called Life.

Here's an introduction & synopsis of the tale with some discussion as to why I think it still resonates all these centuries later. Enkidu and Gilgamesh represent a brotherhood like no other. Ishtar (Inanna) wields her power. Adventure and immortality are on the horizon.
