About this listen

This is a pod that asks participants to choose one creative aspect, a genre, album, creator, film, book, etc, that affected them deeply or changed their view of themselves or the world. Every guest brings something they are passionate and excited about and we use this as a means to look deeper at creative expression and how this reflects a fundamental aspect of our humanity.


This podcast is a part of the Dolphins Can Swim network. For other pods, music, painting, and writing by J Virus check the website: https://dolphinscanswim.com/

    Episode 6 - Timothy Hall Brings John Carpenter's 'Halloween"
    Sep 7 2024

    Tim Hall is truly wonderful to have a conversation with. Always insightful and deeply thought, this is the guy you want to talk to on just about any topic. On this episode we get excited about how John Carpenter's 'Halloween' opened a door to a greater sense of the potential of storytelling through film. It also scared the heck out his young self and led to a lifelong love of Horror movies.


    Tim is a good friend and also a film critic. He IS the People's Critic. Check out his work here: https://thepeoplescriticblog.com/author/timothylhall/

  • Episode 4 - Riley Paterson Brings R.G. Collingwood's 'The Principles of Art'

    Episode 4 - Riley Paterson Brings R.G. Collingwood's 'The Principles of Art'
    Sep 7 2024
    My good friend Riley sits at the table with me and we go DEEP on his experience with R.G. Collingwood and his book 'The Principles of Art'. We also look at how this book fueled a writing project of Riley's that grew to 367 pages as he wrestled in with his own creative voice and his place in the world. This is a very special talk and I encourage multiple listens. There is so much here to chew on it invites you to come back for second helpings. Enjoy!
