Garden of Thought E.392 A Crecganford Odyssey
Jon F. White of Crecganford returns to the show. The primary topic was what is a typical Indo-European pantheon of gods. Whilst we did cover that, we also learned and explored many related items as we navigated this Bronze Age world. Turns out, Greek mythology is not exactly typical for Indo European pantheons, although there is overlap. Ancient pre-Greece was very near East influenced. We - mostly me - keep jumping back and forth into the Bible. And yes, there's a lot of parallels and root stories there too. And for months, I've been asking Jon about my theories on the Odyssey and the Bible. No spoilers - of the discussion. We totally discuss aspects of this 3000 year old plus story. But neither of us saw the movie at date of recording so no Nolan alteration spoilers of significance.

Garden of Thought E.389 Grass Roots Healthcare
Our guest is Dr. Athena Lorin Hall and we discuss several aspects that are problematic in healthcare. Not necessarily limited to the US. With over nine years of experience as a pediatric hospitalist and two years in a global health fellowship serving resource-limited communities, I’ve gained an invaluable perspective on both the strengths and shortcomings of our healthcare systems—and the opportunities to reimagine them.I am deeply committed to advancing a community-centered, humanized, and equitable approach to healthcare, one that prioritizes mental health, prevention, and connection.Grounded in collaboration, trauma-informed care, and meaningful community engagement, my work focuses on transforming how care is delivered and experienced.To bring this vision to life, I founded ZNA Health Network, a platform that connects healthcare professionals, community leaders, and innovators to share ideas, co-create solutions, and strengthen the systems that support health and healing for all.
