FOUR WALLS 5d6e5x

Emil has a mid-life crisis... and records it. This episode is a sequel to "The Outsider", the other purely philosophical episode that's anchored Drifter's Sympathy into a hardcore existentialist stance. This podcast uses the holy trinity of American Country Music, Taoism and the Twilight Zone to tangibly illustrate what happens when we begin to grapple with true death and the opaque, unresolved quality of life on earth. In the form of a classic Existentialist thesis, 'Four Walls' puts forward that escapism can only erode what integrity and strength we have... and that the only way forward is straight through the murk directly. At the very least, you'll never hear the song "Hello Walls" the same again... and at the very best, this cast helps demonstrate why Kurtz's last words in 'Heart of Darkness' are "The horror, The horror." 4g6v6i
