Carpe Kᾰρπός (Season 3, Episode 1)

Welcome to the Season 3 Premiere of The BetterPears Podcast.

This episode is on fish, fruit, and fistfuls. The purpose of the episode, like all those of the podcast, is to suggest deeper meanings for the words we employ to express reality each day. Thus, while the positions offered in each episode are in no way definitive and at times are rather speculative, it is my hope that they function as timeless attempts at expanding your palette for true and accurate verbal expression. If you disagree with a connection made in the episode, please respond in the comments.

If you enjoy this production, I also ask that you like the episode, subscribe to the podcast, and let us know in the comments. This simple task truly helps us reach a wider audience. To receive the transcript of each episode and be the first to learn of BetterPears announcements, please sign-up to our newsletter at the bottom of the page at BetterPears.com.

In addition to The BetterPears Podcast, BetterPears also presents The Confederal Reserve our interview series on Rumble.and YouTube. which connects old friends over even older classical works that have shaped the life of each episode’s guest. They are conversations long overdue and designed to model substantive conversations about the great ideas that you too can have with formerly close friends and family who may have become distant since the last election cycle. Visit our video channels through the links in the description.

Finally, The BetterPears Podcast is offered free through the wonder of the internet but made possible through the continued contributions of our listener audience. In March, we announced our new crowdfunding program, BetterPears Leaves. The program is simple and some might say elegant in design. Contribute $12 or more each month to BetterPears and receive a thank you Goldback in the mail. It is like a Patreon but with fractional, physical gold instead of BTS and blooper reels. If you have been listening to The BetterPears Podcast or The Confederal Reserve for some time and recognize that the ideas shared stand out from other offering of the internet, are worth sharing, and are worthy of your support, this community driven contribution program is for you. As an additional thank you to our contributors, each month from July to December 2024, one lucky supporter will receive a free BetterPears mug of his or her choice from the BetterPears Market in addition to the monthly Goldback. To learn more, visit BetterPears.com/Leaves.

Thank you for your continued patronage of attention and federal reserve notes. And now, on with the episode.

On the in-person courses front, we hope to have a big announcement next week as much is being developed behind the scenes to make our in-person events in the Oklahoma City metro-area a new highlight of your week. I can announce now that the in-person sessions coming to Oklahoma City in the coming weeks will be part of our BetterPears Greenhouse Courses, which maintain our focus on reading classical texts in their original language and in this case English. So, if you have been on the fence about attending a BetterPears course because Latin and Ancient Greek were lingua incognita, our Greenhouse Courses were designed with you in mind. This is just another reason to sign-up for our newsletter so that you can know when our limited registration window opens.
