#37 ~ Keep Coming Back →

When Brian was still in college, and I was just a rookie teacher, he came to me for tutoring, and we fast became friends. Since then we’ve only communicated online. Now, for the first time in thirteen years, we reunite in person for a dialogue that’s worthy of the occasion.

#36 ~ Kerplunking →

A short episode with my mother Maria, in which we discuss Dad’s younger years, the dangers of news addiction, misinterpreted lyrics, and the kinds of vibrations we emanate toward others.

#33 ~ Common Core Curriculum →

My mom makes a holiday visit, and graciously recorded this end-of-year episode for posterity.  After losing her husband five years ago, and her son less than year ago, Maria spends her time between grieving and healing.  Nevertheless, as this short but sweet conversation confirms, she has lost neither her wisdom nor her wit.

#32 ~ The Inverse of Heckling →

In Part 2 of my conversation with Carl, we discuss morphic resonance via genetic ancestry, what’s before the afterlife, aquaphobia and sharks, being heckled by T.J. Miller, setting boundaries with clingy friends, sneaking a road trip, bootleg toys, how childhood shows taught us metaphysics, and what our girlfriends were like as kids.

#31 ~ Quality Time in the 21st Century →

Carl returns for a riveting two-part podcast. In this episode, we discuss the joy of solitude, awkward social situations, a cross-country adventure, paranoia vs. pronoia, alpha male posturing, solo holidays, teleportation, and recording our present experiences for the future simulation that we may be living in right now.

It’s time to recap all the craziness that’s occurred on this hiatus, and process any pertinent revelations that may prepare us for the Impending Earth Changes.

#24 ~ Psalm 555 →

Anthony Oliver makes his second non-corporeal appearance on the one year anniversary of The Opus Marcus Podcast. 

For your edification, this episode was lovingly prerecorded from the future by a cloud of time traveling nanobots who transmute Anthony's rants into powerfully pertinent prognostications. 

Afterward, I read aloud an instruction manual for the  craziest 8-bit video game never played.

My brother Mike and I meet face to face for the first time in two years.   In this honest and heartfelt confessional, Mike delves deep into his harrowing twenty-four years as a severe addict, how he finally hit "rock bottom," and the practically miraculous self-transformation that's occurred as he approaches a full year remaining completely clean.   

#12 ~ Nothing Makes Sense, but Everything Works →

Carl identifies significant events in childhood as the root causes of his ongoing struggle with anxiety.  In this honest and heartfelt discussion, we process the personal into the philosophical, and explore the metaphysical to discover the spiritual.
