-Heraclitus of Ephesus

Need we say more?

Yes, we probably do. Especially if you're to download the latest installment of the Mayhem Radio Podcast Project.

Don Genaro lends us his wisdom and experience in this episode, which has been a long time in coming... both the episode, and his loan.

If we seek to make change, we must first make it in ourselves. Along the same lines is the assertion of the teacher Confucius that man must build character before he is able to put his house in order, and rulers must put their houses in order before they may set their kingdoms right.

What does this mean for us?

Listen and find out.

Here are three questions.

How did you survive that last predator's attack? How did you find enough money to make rent the last time something like this happened? What did you do for lunch this time last year?

Honestly, though, only two of these three are probably easy for you to answer. You probably don't remember the events from exactly a year ago.

But what if you could?

In the first of hopefully many contributions, Cassock gives background, theory, and practice on how an individual could make it a possibility. By coupling memory with imagination, he explains how you can make memorization on demand, and therefore into an even more potent and user-friendly tool.

ALL Music by Locust Toybox

Our own reality doesn't come spontaneously from nowhere. It is, instead, a combination of our own imaginative creation and reactive creation to others around us. As we travel though this cosmically large manic depression we call life, we hit beautiful high and the darkest of lows... how we deal with them determines what reverberations are sent through the tangled and delicately balanced web in which we exist, and whether they pull others up with us or drag them down to us.

Don't miss this show, folks, or you just might entangle others in a web of your making.

Now, as promised, he delivers a short audio essay on symbols and why theyâre so damned powerful.  Why they pull us every which way even if we donât realize it or want them to.

If you enjoyed the first part of Stories, donât miss this, the second installment.

Music by The Uncontrollable Urge

Our apologies for the tardiness of your receipt of this, the 9^th installment of Mayhem Radio (dear fucking god, i can't believe i've made it this far with my liver in tact). It was due to unforeseen circumstances involving several ladies of the night (hookers), a casket (to be honest, just the body we found in the casket), a tortoise, a hare, and a hat (the casket occupant's, not my own). Respectfully, we submit this short segment to you, our fans, and hope that it meets your discerning tastes and expectations of MRPP.

Two score and about twelve weeks ago, we broadcasted this week's segment. Because the internet occasionally, but by no means often, eats things you feed to it, MRPP brings Metamicrophone to you again.

Heavy on pros for discourse and discussion, and light on cons. But we make no claims otherwise. This is an argument FOR discourse, not a report on it.

So listen. Enjoy. Spread it.

Think for yourself. Question Authority.

Signed ÃïïThe terrified and slightly hungover curator of MRPPÃïï

Their curator was a virile... er... virulent drunken bastard. His name was the Barroom Hero. And he had a podcast on the importance of stories.

Not kiddie stories, either. But, rather, the nasty adult sort that we tell ourselves (not erotica, either, ya perv). Stories like: we needed to drop the bomb on Hiroshima, or the Native Americans didn't really deserve the land we have now, the war on terror is real, or our lives aren't really wasteful and full of misery.

And it was ever so much fun!

With Music by the most fascinating Mr. Lund

RAW, as many of us fondly knew him through his writings, recordings, and speaking engagements, is the subject of this week's segment.  He recently went on that great sabbatical in the sky (the one that hopefully will never come to you, friends), but Robert Anton Wilson shall not be forgotten.  RAW never lost his optimism or jeux de vive, whether he was fighting the lingering effects of his childhood polio, mourning his daughter, or saying farewell to his wife.  And he dedicated his life to teaching us how to do the same.

And, for that and all the other amazing things you taught us, we salute you RAW.  If you've made it to the eighth circuit, as we all hope, then you might reading this right now and listening to your own words in this podcast.

That's right, folks, we've got some cuts from an overview by Robert Anton Wilson of the 8 circuit model.  And they're choice, mind you.

Also, here's some links for your eyeholes:  Robert Anton Wilson's home page & his blog.

You can purchase the source for this overview from his home page, by the way. 

Our intro track, titled Hillbilly Hermetics, was provided by Saigon Brothel.  This is a one shot recording specifically for MRPP and is only available here, but there's plenty of other stuff for your enjoyment back at his homepage and myspace profile.
