“I’ve been recovering from an injury lately, which has made certain forms of activity inconvenient and others impossible. I’d listened to this channel before, but recently much more so to get recommendations for new film/TV/music to enrich the extra time I have during recovery. What I found even more valuable were the experiences of the people behind the media, which resonated with mine across their creations. There are too many examples, but listening to Etgar Keret deliberate his relationship with pain, and Max Richter contemplate the importance of silence and the syncing of mind with physiology, have made me rethink the newfound stasis of my days and how to live with it and even turn it into a creative force. I felt less alone. And of course it is wonderful to discover more about the narrative, musical, cinematographic, etc. philosophy behind a work I love, such as Arrival (with Max Richter again - I’m obsessed with the original Ted Chiang short story and it’s incredible to hear it sonically captured) and Lady Bird (Sam Levy).”
