Barking at Butterflies speaks to the way we sometimes chase, question, or react to the small moments in life that carry a bigger meaning. The butterfly represents change, growth, and transformation, while barking suggests the noise, confusion, and strong reactions we bring to situations we don’t always understand. This podcast is about slowing down long enough to listen and learn. It’s built around sensible conversations about life strategies, personal choices, and the lessons learned along the way. Through honest discussions with moms, dads, friends, seniors, prison inmates, and everyday people, each episode explores the pitfalls of life, the hurdles we face, and the strategies we use to make the right call. From honest stories and different perspectives, the podcast offers practical wisdom for how to navigate life through incrementalism.© 2026 Steven Clements Philosophy Relationships Social Sciences
Episodes
  • Talkin' Racism
    Oct 20 2026

    Talkin’ Racism is an honest conversation about growing up nonwhite in a predominantly white community. This episode explores what those experiences looked like in childhood, how deeply they cut, and whether their impact carried into friendships, professional opportunities, and later life. We also confront a difficult question: were the racist comments and stereotypes simply dismissed as teenage behavior, or did they leave lasting consequences? Through reflection and open discussion, the episode examines the real effects of race, belonging, and growing up feeling different in your own neighborhood.

  • Word Catchers!
    Sep 22 2026

    Words Matter! explores the strange, funny, and ever-changing power of language. Why do familiar words become hilarious when they’re pulled out of context? How do expressions develop multiple meanings, enter our everyday vernacular, and eventually become jokes or punchlines? Through stories and conversation, this episode traces the way words shift over time—moving from awkward or silly to clever, useful, and funny—and we talk out the shared language we create along the way.
