The Didactic Mind podcast is uploaded every week and features a one-hour monologue from me on various topics, such as politics, current events, philosophy, religion, Christianity, science, and many more besides. Certain special episodes include interviews with readers and other correspondents.
The Domain Query podcasts are direct answers to questions posed by readers in comments and emails. These are much less frequent and are uploaded on an ad-hoc basis. If you have questions for me that you would like to have answered, query the Domain and I’ll do my best to get back to you.
The latest episodes are given below. In the sidebar you will find a regularly updated archive of existing episodes.

The Didact’s Podcasts
Didactic Mind, Ep 123: Force of Habit
The Didactic Mind podcast is BACK with an all-new episode - the first in nearly 6 months - to kick off 2026. This podcast is all about how we avoid the stupidity and nonsense of "New Year's Resolutions", and instead focus on building life-affirming, results-building, course-sustaining habits that get us to our chosen destinations. I lay out a straightforward, logical,…Didactic Mind, Ep 122: Donny Trumpo's Wars
As we all know by now, the US, under President Trump's leadership, attacked Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities. This is not merely a bad decision - it is among the craziest, most risky, and most stupid decisions ever taken by any world leader. In the latest episode of Didactic Mind, I explain why Trump has now ensured the total failure of…Domain Query: Neo-Byzantine Intrigues
We are back, at long last, after a lengthy break, with a new Domain Query podcast. Once again, we are answering a question from LRFotS Randale6, who draws an intriguing parallel between the current, parlous, state of the FUSA, and the old Byzantine Empire. Our friend argues that, like the Byzantines, the descendants of the Americans may find themselves one…Domain Query: Original Sin
LRFotS JohnC911 had an interesting open-ended question about Scripture, starting with Genesis 3, particularly focused on the nature and role of the serpent that tempted Eve: Hey Didactic, I have a question for you? Since you believe in Jesus Christ is the Son of God What are your thoughts on Genesis 3? Even if you don’t believe it, the enemies…Domain Query: Risk vs Reward
Today's query comes from LRFotS Randale6, who has a rather interesting and very germane set of questions about the reasons why lower-ranked men in the SSH choose high-probability poor-quality outcomes, over lower-probability (thus riskier) but higher-quality potential outcomes. Here is the question set: Two questions. First is why do gammas/deltas pedestalize one woman to the exclusion of all others? As…Domain Query: Clown College degrees
Despite being stricken with what feels like (but isn’t… probably) bird flu, I finally managed to get around to addressing a rather interesting query from LRFotS Randale6, who wrote in to ask about the monumental illiteracy and idiocy of Clown World: Didact, looking into the history of commies and world war two I find this, the death of Patton is…Didactic Mind, Ep 121: A Time For Renewal
The very first podcast of 2025 is up, in which I talk through some of the lessons learned in the preceding year, and some of the possible outcomes these lessons will dictate in the current one. I discuss how the fall of the Syrian Arab Republic has completely reshaped the Middle East's geopolitical landscape, and how the Banderastan War has…Didactic Mind, Ep 120: Neoclown World
The Didactic Mind podcast is finally BACK, after a hiatus of some 7 months, with a new episode discussing the motivations and rationale behind neoclown thinking. In this episode, I explain how the various chaotic events springing up all over the world - the collapse of the Assad government in Syria, the attempted coup in South Korea, the attempts to…Domain Query: Asian Girls
It has been QUITE a while since we last did a proper podcast - first I was busy, then I was stupidly busy, then I was on vacation, and then I was (and still am) sick. But nothing gets older than an excuse, so let us crack on with a great set of questions from LRFotS JohnC911: Hey Didactic, I…Domain Query: Goldbugging
The Domain Query series is back, with a new episode inspired by a (lengthy) request from LRFotS Randale6, about how to achieve some degree of fiscal and geographical independence from the long, and increasingly corrupt and decrepit, arm of Uncle Shmuel: By misfortune of my nationality (American) I am faced with a bit of an investment problem, the IRS has…Didactic Mind, Ep 119: The Corroding Empire
The latest episode of the Didactic Mind podcast is back, finally, with a look at the collapsing Western empire. I discuss the ways in which the West is getting worse and worse - to the point where Western nations can barely figure out how to keep the lights on and the plumbing working - and how these are very obvious…Didactic Mind, Ep 118: The Promise Kept
Rejoice, brothers and sisters, for Christ is Risen! He is with us and between us on this most glorious of days, as we celebrate Easter and the day of His Resurrection. Today we acknowledge in faith and joy the promise that He made to us, and which He kept. In that spirit, I have put together a set of thoughts…
