  • 14. S02E14 - Silence [Season Finale]

    56:16||Season 2, Ep. 14
    In this episode Bart and Anthony speak / don't speak about 'SILENCE'. It's an experimental one, beginning with about 20 minutes of not-quite-silence; the sounds of Bart arriving, Blarney playing, coffee being made, and people occupying a space together. In these cold, dark, January days we invite our listeners to quietly share the space with us that we have so enjoyed occupying for the past year.And if that's not your thing, no worries! Skip to about 20 minutes into the episode and you'll hear myself and Bart give our thoughts on the exercise, the season, and on silence in general.Thank you to everyone for your support. We'll be back in the Spring with more topics, guests, music and craic.

    01:18:00||Season 2, Ep. 13
    In this episode Bart and Anthony speak about 'GIFTS', the ones we give, the ones we receive, the ones that are innate and the ones that are honed through experience. We also have a proper, meandering catchup and shitetalk after a month of brilliant guests, just to bring the level back down a bit.Support the Podcashthttps://www.patreon.com/WeshternPhilosophyPodhttps://ko-fi.com/weshternphilosophyFollow the podcasht on Instagram / Facebook / YouTube@weshternphilosophypodcastThanks a million!Anthony and Bart
  • 12. S02E12 - Men's Work - [w. Niall Graham]

    01:29:23||Season 2, Ep. 12
    In this episode Bart and Anthony are joined by men's work facilitator and mentor Niall Graham to talk about 'Men's Work'. Having just completed Niall's three month course in the subject Bart had plenty to say about his own personal experience and the benefits he's found in engaging with this. The conversation explores the many aspects of masculinity and how work like this can affect things outside ourselves; not just our relationships and our self-worth but also place and community. Niall also speaks on the role of the Feminine and women in guiding and supporting Men's Work. If you're interested in masculinity, self-worth, relationships or abundance this episode is sure to have something for you.Niall's Linkshttps://www.instagram.com/_niall_graham_/Niall's Offerings and Further Information available hereListen to Niall's own podcast here.Support the Podcashthttps://www.patreon.com/WeshternPhilosophyPodhttps://ko-fi.com/weshternphilosophyFollow the podcasht on Instagram / Facebook / YouTube@weshternphilosophypodcastThanks a million!Anthony and Bart
