#37 ~ Keep Coming Back →

When Brian was still in college, and I was just a rookie teacher, he came to me for tutoring, and we fast became friends. Since then we’ve only communicated online. Now, for the first time in thirteen years, we reunite in person for a dialogue that’s worthy of the occasion.

#35 ~ Dying After You Die →

Marcus breaks his seven month sabbatical as Carl marks his third visit to the podcast, and an announcement is made about that unopened bottle of grappa.

#24 ~ Psalm 555 →

Anthony Oliver makes his second non-corporeal appearance on the one year anniversary of The Opus Marcus Podcast. 

For your edification, this episode was lovingly prerecorded from the future by a cloud of time traveling nanobots who transmute Anthony's rants into powerfully pertinent prognostications. 

Afterward, I read aloud an instruction manual for the  craziest 8-bit video game never played.

#8 ~ The Burden of Nescience →

Rick is a Marine veteran who served two deployments in Iraq, and a 7/8th grade American history teacher in Jersey City.

In this lengthy yet engaging episode, we discuss the difficulty of maintaining long-term friendships, Rick's experience in the Marines, the myriad challenges we face as educators, how technology will redefine humanity, and the breakdown of institutional hierarchies that succumb to The S.N.A.F.U. Principle.

#2 ~ The Craziest Reality Ever →

Douglas Palermo is a teacher, author, and post-modern existential Taoist.  In this episode, we attempt to build a bridge between integral spirituality and mental health, by discussing how these two perspectives play out in the educational arena.
