Show Notes

It has been a long time since we’ve sat down in front of a microphone. What have we been up to? In this bonus episode, Kyle asks about Daniel’s engagement, wedding, and marriage, with Daniel connecting the themes of Season Two to his own life. 

Daniel mentions our previous set of bonus episodes, which were released in November and December of 2017. Those episodes are called The Search for Transcendence, Daniel’s Highs and Lows, and Kyle’s Internal Struggle.

Daniel proposed to Annie on the Redwood Deck at Hoyt Arboretum in Portland, Oregon.

The hymn that Daniel quotes is The Sands of Time Are Sinking.

The Steve Jobs commencement speech that Kyle refers can be found here. 

Kyle describes the films of Akira Kurosawa, many of which are found on The Criterion Channel. Kyle specifically mentions the films Seven Samurai, Ran, Yojimbo, and Rashomon. (By the way, Daniel’s favourite Kurosawa film is Ikiru.)

Kyle describes Stephen Sondheim’s musical Sunday in the Park With George and quotes from the song Move On. The book of lyrics Kyle quotes is Finishing the Hat: Collected Lyrics (1954-1981) with Attendant Comments, Principles, heresies, Grudges, Whines and Anecdotes. Kyle’s successful podcast on Sondheim is called Putting It Together. Kyle also quotes from the Sondheim musical Follies and the The Road You Didn't Take.

Throughout the episode we reference the themes discussed in our second season, Love in Our Times. You can find those episodes wherever you get your podcasts.

Daniel mentions Timothy and Kathy Keller’s book The Meaning of Marriage.
