About this episode
Stephen Jenkinson returns to discuss the intersection of matrimony and mortality with host Ned Buskirk.
The man, the myth, the medicinally confronting conversationalist is BACK on You're Going to Die: The Podcast for his third guest spot! This time Ned Buskirk speaks with culture activist, worker, and author Stephen Jenkinson at the intersection of matrimony & mortality. As he’s done with money (Money and the Soul’s Desires), dying (Die Wise), elderhood (Come of Age) and pandemics (A Generation’s Worth), in Matrimony Jenkinson finds a living heart in the debris field of contemporary culture, and now makes the case that radical hospitality, strangerhood and the old sacraments of trade together make the trail we could follow back into real person making and ritual literacy. stephen jenkinson’swebsite: https://orphanwisdom.comMatrimony: Ritual, Culture, and the Heart’s Work: https://orphanwisdom.com/book/matrimony/ Produced by Nick JainaSoundscaping by Nick JainaAssociate Produced by Jordan Edelheit”YG2D Podcast Theme Song” by Nick Jaina IF YOU'D LIKE TO GET INVOLVED EMAIL US AT connect@yg2d.com The views expressed in this podcast are those of the guests and do not necessarily represent the views of YG2D.
