  • Time Stands Still

    Time stands still when I listen to Time Sensitive, inviting my body, mind, and spirit to rest. As I sink deeper into an episode, I am temporarily “off the clock.” The insights, care, and human exchange lead me back to my own curiosities and questions. I carry these conversations with me as an internal compass, well past my first listen.

  • Mind opening

    A must listen for me. The conversations are always mind opening and expansive. I have a few episodes I listen to again. If you like On Being you will also love Time Sensitive. A recent favorite is the episode with Valerie June. A podcast for curious dreamers, doers, and connectors. It’s worth your time.

  • Profound

    I could listen—and have listened—to this podcast for hours. I love how Spencer leaves room for the guests to explore their perspectives on time, which is to say their life philosophies, but also how he steers them along to their most essential stories. These episodes are profound, and I always come away with some new understanding of myself and our world.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Simon Critchley on Giving Up the Fantasy of Mastery
Q: How does Critchley view the relationship between death and finitude?
Death is not merely a private, isolated event; finitude is relational, shaped by love and mourning for others, and accepting this relational finitude liberates one to live more fully.
Simon Critchley on Giving Up the Fantasy of Mastery
Q: Why is Heidegger's proposition considered radical for Critchley?
Because it attempts to reset the roots of thinking by destroying the traditional metaphysical assumptions and reawakening perplexity and wonder about what is, rather than accepting conventional frameworks.
Simon Critchley on Giving Up the Fantasy of Mastery
Q: What is the fundamental question Heidegger is asking?
The fundamental question is the meaning of being, and the answer proposed is that being is time, with time structured as a finite, lived experience rather than an endless linear progression.
Iris van Herpen on Visualizing the Invisible Through Haute Couture
Q: What is craft illusion, and how does it relate to your practice?
Craft illusion is an evolving continuum where modern tools meet ancient techniques to create hybrids, showing how past and present inform each other.
Dries Van Noten on the Meaning Found in Making
Q: What role do artisans and traditional mills play in your Foundation's aims?
The foundation seeks to honor the maker, keep traditional crafts alive, and support living artisans, ensuring ongoing collaboration and the preservation of craft knowledge across generations.
