About this listen

Welcome to Carl’s Corner, a soft, strange podcast hosted by a goat with spiritual aspirations, snack-based wisdom, and a strong commitment to lying down. These short episodes offer absurd meditations on rest, collapse, joy, grief, and the sacred nonsense of being human. Equal parts philosophy, emotional survival, and goat-led rebellion, this is a quiet corner of the meadow where nothing needs fixing—and you’re already enough.William Pelletier Philosophy Social Sciences

  • On the Revolutionary Act of Lying Down and Refusing to Move
    Jan 30 2026

    In this episode, Carl explores the wildly subversive act of... doing absolutely nothing. Not as failure. Not as defeat. But as a gentle rebellion against a world that confuses motion with meaning.

    Whether you’ve hit your emotional buffer wheel or simply need a moment to sprawl and breathe, this meditation invites you to lie down, let go, and remember that stillness can be its own kind of power.

    Because sometimes the wisest next step... is no step at all.

  • On the Sacred Art of Being Magnificently Wrong
    Jan 23 2026

    In this episode, Carl gently guides us through the uncomfortable (but oddly freeing) terrain of being deeply, spectacularly wrong. Whether you’ve ever committed to a terrible idea with full confidence or delivered a speech to the wrong crowd at the wrong time in the wrong meadow—this one’s for you.

    Join us for a meditation on imperfection, shame resilience, and the kind of glorious failure that reminds us we’re still beautifully human… or goat-adjacent.

    Because sometimes, the wisest thing you can do is admit you have no idea what you’re doing—and keep going anyway.

  • On the Revolutionary Act of Eating a Cracker While Your Life Falls Apar
    Jan 16 2026

    In this episode, Carl finds himself unraveling in the meadow—lost in a spiral of thoughts about productivity, doom, and whether rocks might be judging him. But in the middle of this existential tempest, he discovers something radical: the power of eating a single cracker, slowly and deliberately, as a form of quiet rebellion.

    This gentle meditation explores what it means to stay present in moments of emotional chaos—and why grounding yourself in something as small as a snack might be the bravest thing you can do.

    Because sometimes, when everything is falling apart… you just need a cracker.
