    62. The Unexpected (August, 2026) Episode description: The Muses look at the universe and the pedestrian aspects of our lives that accost us as unexpected. Surprise, reversals, tense moments, and losses punctuate our existence at regular intervals. And yet, we are always taken aback as if there is a “normal” way our lives should proceed. Join us for poetry that commemorates some of the moments, music that surprises, fiction that raises a few hackles, and patter about the selections. Don’t forget

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    In this episode, Lynn and John visit the human urge to reach out and connect and stay connected, to collect and sometimes even hoard, the stoic keep-on-keeping-on tendency. What are the ways we keep the faith and endure when times are tough? Determination and doggedness have their place! Check your own impulses as you are transported into the realm of persistence. “I can’t go on. I’ll go on.” Sound familiar?
