    Carry The Fire Podcast

    My name is Dustin Kensrue and I’ve always been fascinated by the REALLY BIG questions. I’ve spent my life as a songwriter (in Thrice and on my own) wrestling through those big questions, but now I’m starting a new phase of that exploration. I’d love for you to join me on the Carry The Fire podcast, where we dig deep into those big questions through the lens of the good, the true, and the beautiful as we speak with people from a wide variety of backgrounds, beliefs, and professions; together we will all glimpse the world anew through their unique perspectives. Carry the fire with us today!

    Today on the Pod we are joined by David Dark. David is an author, professor, and probably my very favorite person on Twitter, as he pokes and prods curiously, thoughtfully, and earnestly into our assumptions and hypocrisies.

    In our conversation, we talk about Marvel and myth, beloved community, robot soft exorcisms, and much more. Including David's idea that “Religion is politics, is what we do, and how we speak in the way that we think about other human beings.”.

    Today on the podcast we are joined by Eric Silver. Eric is one of the hosts of my very favorite podcasts, Join the Party. Join the Party is a collaborative storytelling podcast using the framework and mechanics of the popular game, Dungeons & Dragons. Eric the “DM” or Dungeon Master, of the Join the Party Game. We’ll learn more about what that means as we go. Some of you might be thinking that maybe you’ll skip this one and that D&D is not for you. But, if you stick around I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised and intrigued.

    Eric and I talk about the magic of collaborative storytelling, we discuss the way that he tries to craft Join the Party to be open and inviting in a variety of ways, and he shares how his Jewish heritage and faith influence his storytelling.

    Today on the pod we are joined by Chuck Wendig. Chuck is an author and storyteller in a variety of mediums. He is most well known through his novels, the most recent of which is titled Wanderers and which I read recently and really enjoyed.

    In our conversation, we talk about the way that fiction interacts with the good, the true, and the beautiful including the relationship of canon to both fiction and religion, the way that fiction can help us see things that reality has obscured, and the way that the best fiction both gives you an escape while simultaneously bringing you right back to the real issues from a novel perspective, pun intended. Let’s dive in
