#144 - ‘No horse high enough’ (Invitation, support, challenge or judgement?)

In this episode, I take a close look at how we communicate with each other. What is our motive/intention if we want to say something to someone? Particularly if that is a challenge, a call out, or we are inviting someone to explore something? How do we receive such information? What about passive/aggressive radio silence communication? Which in fact is the loudest form of communication. I do focus on the ‘high horse brigade’ & how their clipped, judgmental, condescending approach creates a particular unpleasant dynamic-there’s something about that sanctimonious, fake victim tone that can turn the stomach & hurt your head. We also explore pashmina diverse culture & how they hide behind the ‘I'm cool & reasonable’ veneer. Either way, lets examine what we are saying to each other, why we are saying it, & the all important how we are conveying our messages.Podcast Editor - Ger KellettCLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE..........References ---------------------‘Saddle up’ David Christie from Back in control (1982)‘Blind my mind’ Flunk from Morning star (2004)‘Sun king’ The Beatles from Abbey Rd (1969)‘Some people are crazy’ John Martyn from Grace & Danger (1980)‘Fake plastic trees’ Radiohead from The Bends (1995)‘Takin it to the streets’ The Doobie Bros from Takin it to the streets (1976)‘Communique’ Dire Straits from Communique (1979)‘I cant get with that (Schmoove version) from Come find yourself (1996)‘Any major dude will tell you’ Steely Dan from Pretzel logic (1974)‘On your way down’ Little feat from Dixie Chicken (1973)‘Pumped up kicks’ Foster the people from Torches (2010)
