Sagewolf Interviews Sagewolf The dirtiest secrets. That's what's happening here. Well...not entirely. Humans have always fascinated me. I'm most curious about what drives us creatively forward in our lives. When others share their stories with me, I arrive a little closer to knowing how many parallels we all share - how big this human family is, and that comforts me. I hope that by sharing these with you, you might know that too. I also hope that I'm able to present these in a way that you have a visceral experience - like you're there with us at the time and place of the interview - inside these beautiful human exchanges. These moments of connection are truly everything we humans seek when life is all boiled down to it's essence.

Towards Democracy reads like Beat poetry—wild flowing word associations, moments of insight so clear they hurt, interspersed with pure rant! Included is an essay Carpenter wrote in 1894 explaining his intent and feelings in writing Towards Democracy. - Summary by Sue Anderson The Hangman Podcast Hangmen Podcast In 2016 three men came into possession of a book, written by a distant family member who once worked as a hangman. They thought it would be fun to read the book, knowing the man who wrote it had a more than a few skeletons in his closet. What they didn't expect was a rollercoaster ride of adultery, confession, suspected murder, revenge, sexism and endless jaw dropping accounts of a man who continues to lead a colourful life. The trio take a reflective and often hilarious look through the book, which is not only badly written, offensive and at times just plain weird, but strangely addictive...
