MIND CHALK Podcast

Thoughts are fleeting—thank goodness. But what about those profound thoughts that transiently float in and out of our minds throughout the day? This show is about some of mine, presented to you full of imagination and extrapolation, and sometimes expressed in anapestic tetrameter or a random song verse.

Join me for a fun, provocative & entertaining look at ‘thought.’ Episodes are below and on your favorite podcast players.
