If you want to get to the heart of any matter, sometimes you have to dig deep. That’s not always easy, but it’s always worth the effort.

In this opening episode, host James Newcomb introduces himself, shares the funny and meaningful story behind the podcast title, and explains why now is the right time to launch That’s a Deep Subject.

James has spent more than a decade in podcasting, beginning with music-focused shows while serving as a U.S. Army musician. Over the years, he discovered his real interest wasn’t just in the what or how of performance, but in the why behind it all. That curiosity led him beyond trumpet, into philosophy, myth, the Hero’s Journey, Orthodox Christianity, and now into PhD studies in government at Regent University.

Along the way, James founded Cheireis Media — a creative company whose name means “grace” and “peace” — and launched the storytelling project Whispers From the Threshold Invisible, exploring myth and meaning through modern media.

This podcast is the next step in that journey: a place for interviews, reflections, and stories that dig beneath the surface into the questions that shape our lives.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

-The story behind the title That’s a Deep Subject — including a memorable dinner with James’ grandfather.

-James’ background as a musician, podcaster, and media creator.

-Why he’s moving beyond music-only projects to explore bigger questions.

-The vision behind Cheireis Media and Whispers From the Threshold Invisible.

-What you can expect from the podcast moving forward.
