I am so thankful for Wonder Cabinet! TTBOOK was previously my favorite npr show/podcast and I was devastated when I heard it was going off air. I love Wonder Cabinet though and it has become one of the best tools in my “regulate my nervous system” toolbox. I love to listen while I do simple chores or meal prep on Sundays. It is so gentle, interesting, awe-inspiring, and I learn something new every episode. Thank you for bringing us such engaging and peaceful content in these trying times!
I get some comfort and stimulation from the often edgey topics , including where animism, science and consciousness intersect.
I never miss an episode. I felt such loss when “To the Best of Our Knowledge” ended, but “Wonder Cabinet” has surpassed even that excellent podcast!
As a modern urban human, I really appreciate how you are expressing your own groping in the dark and how to connect with the land and our spiritual selves when we have been so severed from traditions that show us the path
….in the good company of the ttbook team. As curious, engaged, fascinated by the world around us as ever. Great conversation, deep but accessible, wide range of subject matter. Love it.
