PJ shares a brief update on the channel and what's next for the show.
Who thinks that they can subdue Leviathan? Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified. Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud.
These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop.
Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.

Speaker 1:
Hello, and welcome to Chasing Leviathan. You may notice that the studio looks a little different, and I look a little different. This is all part of, 1, maintaining what I think is really the strength of our mission, but adding to it. So we are going to move our content to Tuesdays for YouTube, which is where it's always been for the podcast, and I'm gonna be taking a small hiatus, till April to, for a couple of reasons. One is there's some family pressures, both, with medical.
Speaker 1:
We had a couple, not unexpected, but, of course, sad funerals in the family. And then we're on a a more optimistic, happier note, 2 children that we have been fostering for 2 years, we are going to be adopting them in the next 2 months. So with all that said, you can see why on a personal level, I wouldn't wanna take a hiatus. But on the other side, we saw this as an opportunity to kind of redo, chasing Leviathan. We're still gonna do interviews, but we thought we might make things a little bit more a little nicer around the studio, not so cramped as it was before.
Speaker 1:
And, alongside that, I would like to start doing my own content. So we'll still do the interviews, 3 to 4 times a month. But once a month, I am going to create my own content based off of books and my own study in different like, I'll read a book. I'll talk about that book. But instead of just summarizing the book or just giving my own thoughts and analysis, what I'm going to do is I'm going to do the sources of Charles Taylor's The Language Animal.
Speaker 1:
And so my desire with that is not only to give you a kind of the summary of a classic work or an important work, but to also show you how it plays in the argument of Charles Taylor's The Language Animal. And so I think with those two things combined, I can do something special. So some of the works I might do are Kierkegaard's Repetition, Johann Gottfried's Herter's Treatise on the Origin of Language, and, Donald Merlin's Origins of the Modern Mind among several other books that I'm interested in doing. So we're still gonna be doing the interviews. We're still gonna be pursuing big questions.
Speaker 1:
I just felt like I'd like to do it through books as well. And so, my goal here is to stay true to the mission of what I've started with chasing Leviathan and to but to do it in a way that is a little bit more in-depth and a little bit, just just to improve, consistently move forward. Most of all, I wanna say thank you. It's been two and a half years, 3 years now, and I wanna say thank you to the small but growing community of like minded people, people united in their curiosity and their love for humanity. So if you've come this far with us, if you've just joined us, I wanna say thank you.
