Episode notes

James Mohebali, Chinese medicine practitioner, joins John today to talk a little bit about Eastern and Western medicine and a lot about the heart. You see, it may not just be a pump moving blood around. James takes us away from a mechanistic viewpoint and (re)introduces ideas that have been around for a very long time.

"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.
