Show NotesHost: Dan HugoSummary: Broadcast Television, so often consumed via the so-called Idiot Box, was for quite some time a substantial driver of US Culture. We all watched the same things at the same time, thrown off a bit by cable, the VCR, and eventually time-shifted viewing in general. What a ride.LinksBuy Dan A Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/danhugoBuy Me An Update https://www.buymeacoffee.com/danhugo/postsDan´s Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/danhugoKoFi Solo https://ko-fi.com/danhugo/postsDream On https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_On_(TV_series)

Sounds of SAND Science and Nonduality Sounds of SAND invites listeners into a contemplative journey through the infinite cycles of existence - from its raw beauty to its deepest mysteries, from its intricate complexity to its profound wonder. Through intimate conversations, thought-provoking interviews, poetic readings, and carefully curated music, we weave together ancient wisdom with lived experience, creating a tapestry of sound that honors the great questions of being Consuelo by George Sand Loyal Books This roman à clef follows the musical adventures of Consuelo, a gifted singer under the tutelage of the composer Nicola Porpora. After encountering betrayal in her home city of Venice, she goes to stay with a family of nobles in an isolated castle in Bohemia and teach singing to the baroness who lives there. It is there that she meets Count Albert, a troubled young man who experiences regressions to past lives. He is strangely drawn to her, but she, though moved with pity for him, is unsure what to think of him. She then sets out for Vienna to meet with Porpora again and on the way befriends a young Joseph Haydn. The two do their best to skirt intrigue and peril during their journey while Consuelo engages in soul-searching to determine who Count Albert is to her.
