Written by David Sharrock and narrated by Peter Lewis, The Mummer Man creeps in with the quiet dread of a half-forgotten tradition gone wrong. In this episode, So Listen: A Positing of Hideas takes a more reactionary approach—Kief and Sage share their unfiltered thoughts, chills, and theories as the story unfolds.

We’re getting witchy with it this week as Kief and Sage light up and dig into the long, twisted history of witches — from ancient healers and midwives to broom-riding icons of rebellion. They trace how fear, power, and patriarchy brewed one hell of a potion that turned wisdom into witchcraft. Along the way, they ask: what does the witch really represent — evil, empowerment, or evolution? Grab your broom (or your bowl) and join the coven as we conjure up a conversation that’s equal parts spooky, smoky, and surprisingly enlightening.

In this episode, Kief and Sage get real about burnout—the creeping exhaustion that sneaks in when passion turns into pressure. From the subtle warning signs to the crash-and-burn moments, they explore the different shapes burnout can take and why it’s become such a universal experience. Along the way, they unpack strategies for prevention, talk recovery rituals, and ask whether burnout is just a personal problem… or a symptom of a culture that runs too hot for too long.

So light up, lean back, and let’s figure out how to cool the flames together.
