What Lies Between Will Glynn A qualitative inquiry into whatever the fuck it is we’re doing here. Inspired by the connections that I’ve had the pleasure of making during my time on this planet, What Lies Between aims to collaboratively explore the space occupied between our subjective experiences. We are perceptive, meaning-making beings that experience the universe through a paradoxical lens with unique and universally human qualities. Both a source of controversy and wonder, we observe the same phenomena and extract conflicting meaning. Simultaneously, our interpretations often align with others whose backgrounds vary dramatically from our own—and that’s pretty incredible. I see What Lies Between us as objective reality or truth. We interface with it, are a part of it, and attempt to name it. Yet, the consequences of our being alive render it ungraspable. While a question without an answer may seem fruitless, it supplies endless curiosity that drives exploration of an infinitely rich universe occupied by being The 5:11 Show Becky T A look at current events and how they could relate to end-times prophecies or conspiracies. Is there an agenda behind everything that happens or just coincidences? Are we puppets being controlled by puppet-masters or do we have control over our own lives? 5:11 stands for Ephesians 5:11 - Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. This show will give the listener a glimpse in to the mind of a conspiracy theorist and maybe expose some things along the way.
