    Ancient Oregon Ep. 1: Indigenous Roots & The Takelma Tribe
    Jan 14 2026

    On this episode, we dive into the ancient Indian history of Oregon, the Takelma tribe, their culture, and the ancient village once known as Ti'lomikh (Dilomi).


    I didn't say it on the podcast, but the intro music for this episode comes directly from Miss Frances Johnson (Quis-Quas-hum), the same Takelman who worked with Edward Sapir and John Peabody Harrington to create many of the sources used to make this podcast. Here is a link to the audio.

  • 07. Reading the Tao Te Ching

    07. Reading the Tao Te Ching
    May 19 2024
    Today we read a 2,000+ year old text that's full of mind-opening one-liners and one of the foundational texts of Taoism, the Tao Te Ching. This helps to show us how the greatest truths are contradictory. How you can't have the good without the bad, and how sometimes less is more. Besides the intro, I created this similar to an audiobook that can play in the background as you try to relax, and trust that this episode will be a relaxing one.

    Join me on the first episode of a multipart series as we dive into the forces and institutions that made modern society possible. On this episode, we'll discuss how money was invented in multiple societies across the globe. How money is built on trust and helps to create relationships between people and entities that would not typically intermingle. We'll also talk about how money can cloud the way we look at the world.

    On this episode of Gotta Start Somewhere, we talk about Tsavo Maneaters. A pair of lions terrorized construction workers as they built a train bridge over the Tsavo River in Kenya in 1898. While no exact number can be pinpointed, we’ll talk about how modern scientists used isotopic signatures to confirm that these lions ate upwards of 70 people within a few short months.
