Do you have a favorite? Not meant to, but mostly the unloved ones, the unvisited ones, the cases that get dusty and ignored.

All the broken and shunned creatures.

Someone's got to care for them.

Who shall it be if not us?

Yes. Welcome to Roon soup, a weekly podcast about magic, culture and the very best new and old ideas for living in this world, coming to you from 43 degrees south on a small farm in deepest Tasmania.

My name is Gordon and I shall be your host.

This week in what accidentally turned out to be my birthday special

and something of a gift to myself, I suppose.

We're welcome to the show, the one and only Dr. Joseph P. Farrell.

Many of you will have no doubt I'm sure encounter Dr

Farrell's work in any number of different domains, alternate history,

euphology, modern history, politics, you name it. And he joins us today to talk about some of the

thoughts and perspectives that underpin a lot of that wide-ranging work and interest, so music, language, magic as harmonics, and what our relationship

to culture is and our role within it. Very good stuff. Enjoy. Dr. Farrell, a long

time coming. Thank you very very much for your time. Thanks for having me back

Gordon. Yeah absolutely. So actually question the one how's Shiloh?

Shiloh is is wonderful. She's coming along. We've we've been together for about two years. For those who don't know, she's my

little adopted pooch that I got from an animal rescue shelter. She'd been through four

shelters and across two state lines and no one wanted her so she had

issues but she's coming along fine and now howling happily at sirens so, so a lot of howling at the moment, I guess.

Yep.

Yeah.
