2-Minute Welcome Teaser: Enter the Snarl

A podcast for curious & cool (but chronically stuck) over-analyzers.

The problem: It's getting harder and harder to make sense of the tangled world we inhabit. If this sounds familiar, unfortunately, it means you have entered the snarl... and you know the feeling is real:

• Everything is risky 
• Tomorrow is scary
• You don’t belong here—argh! Now what?

The solution: Don’t get mad,  get untangled!

Fair warning: It's not for everyone. However, if you listen for a bit I am 87% sure you will dig it.  Are you ready to consume a psychology show for brainy people who give much more than a rat's patootie about the big things in life, but are struggling to come up with all the answers?

Who are you? If you are like me, you are an over-analyzer. You always have been and always will be. Okay. Fine. Nothing wrong with that! Join me and a tenacious band of pathological followers **just like you** hellbent on discovering what it means to belong and not belong to the places that surround us.

This is the perfect audio experience for those of us trying to answer the question, "How can I move forward and embrace all the wonders of tomorrow while holding onto the parts of the past that I love?"

The answer to this question is what the podcast is all about.

Priority numero uno: It all begins by looking at your own story through the lens of psychological belonging, the most fundamental human social desire. 

Along the way we'll meet outrageous characters and hear some truly spellbinding stories. The roster includes surfer-turned-lifeguard Eddie Aikau, baby cages, devil possession, witches, John Snow and his work on Cholera, industrial moths, Phineas Gage’s brain, psychogeographers of the 1960s, satanic panics, bridge jumpers, Norwegian badass Fridtjof Nanson, Gunter’s chain, parental warning labels, Wild Bill Hickok, and Elanor Roosevelt.

Basically, if you like personality, mental health, urban design, music, evolutionary science, and serial killers you will love Kevin Bennett is Snarling.
