Audio Chimera
Stephen A. SchrumA subversive podcast taking refuge in The Sanctuary of Allegory about the fragility of memory. With Audio Chimera I share memories from my past, while at the same commenting on various aspects of modern life.

A super interesting show. Each episode can bear many meanings and lessons, depending on how actively you are listening. I'm not usually one for tuning into podcasts where the host's own experiences are the focal point but Stephen does it in such an elegant way with lots to learn and ponder...plus he's had a pretty interesting life in my opinion.
