  • The future will f human consciousness

    This one hit hard Rob. I throughly enjoy your very refreshing and relevant take on what we are actually experiencing in this moment as a human species. What you mentioned about your dad.. man that moved me in a profound way… and are we only barely scratching the surface. Keep making your art, your podcasts. The world and we in the world need it now more than ever.

  • Discovered Rob thru the book Where'd you park your starship

    I enjoy Rob, because he is not a guru!!! He is a "mirror" as he reminds his listeners. Thought provoking and brings up the feels... and it makes me uncomfortable and rooting out the Why. The Questions! Love to listen when I need to hear it and sometimes seeing it through others questions. Which sparks my questioning...

  • Dreaming of Ojai

    The RobCast is one of very few shows I return to again and again, like seeing a familiar friend who’s traveled with you through seasons.

    I first read “Velvet Elvis” back in the early 2000s, visited Mars Hill on a Sunday he wasn’t there (oh the disappointment!), wondered what the heck he moved to CA for, and then discovered him again as his writing found a broader audience.

    It’s been especially delightful to witness his evolution as a speaker, writer, and artist that always carries this commo... more

  • Luke Farkas

    Loved this episode! I've been wanting to be in that room for many years. It gave me a window into what that would be like. Thanks for sharing. Now I'll try to figure how to make that happen.

  • Podcast - interview Meggan Watterson

    Any chance you could interview Meggan Watterson, feminist theologian, about the lost gospel of Mary? Fascinating & needed work about feminism in Christianity. Thanks!

Luke Farkas Has Some Questions
Q: Should we start at the beginning?
The host and Luke discuss starting points and agree the process unfolds naturally when participants engage honestly, with questions guiding the flow rather than a fixed agenda.
American Tiger with Adam Skolnick
Q: How do you decide when to fictionalize a real place for a novel-like nonfiction piece?
I opted to fictionalize Simi Valley to maintain authenticity while allowing creative latitude to capture the emotional truth and ecological specifics without being bound to exact street names or locations.
American Tiger with Adam Skolnick
Q: How did the Tiger in Simi Valley become the seed for American Tiger, and what drew you to tell this particular story?
It started from a news sighting that I covered as a reporter. The case expanded as I interviewed wardens and researched the history of the area, which led me to imagine a broader, more intimate narrative around the people involved and the environment they navigated.
Part 3 WHAT WE DO 2025 Talk
Q: How do we know that we are not living in one of those moments when a whole order of things is crumbling?
We might be experiencing significant upheaval in societal norms and structures that challenge our current understanding of life.
