Never Enough: A Podcast About Obsession

Why Jack is Obsessed with the Common Birds

Welcome to Never Enough, the podcast that's obsessed with obsessions: the things we love and why, the enduring interests that draw us in and keep us coming back for more. I'm Joan Ruzsa and I am your host. My guest today is Jack Breakfast. Jack is a musician, writer, painter and photographer. We discuss birders vs bird photographers, the surprising joy of unreciprocated love, the art of narrative photography and the importance of maintaining a respectful distance from migratory/uncommon birds. We also spend a significant part of the episode talking about all of the times we have watched hawks devour their prey. The word viscera may have been used. Plus I get chastised for my improper use of the word sparrow. Vague nomenclature is no one's friend.

Why Steve Is Obsessed With Wild Foods

Welcome to Never Enough: a podcast about obsession; the things we love and why, the enduring interests that draw us in and keep us coming back for more. I'm Joan Ruzsa and I am your host. My guest on this episode is Steve Lukacic. Steve is a hunter, fisherman, forager, organic gardener, outfitter, guide, outdoors educator, content creator and writer. We talk about his 25 years in the music industry, the chronic health condition that forced him to re-evaluate the way he was living, and how he healed himself in large part through eating wild foods. We also discuss ethical hunting, the satisfaction of sharing what he's learned with others and helping them re-connect with the land, and having a garden so big it requires two staircases.

Why Brad is obsessed with The Shining

Welcome to Never Enough, the podcast that's obsessed with obsessions: the things we love and why, the enduring interests that draw us in and keep us coming back for more. My name is Joan Ruzsa and I'll be your host. On this episode I'll be talking to Brad Hart about his obsession with Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining. Brad is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, comedian, playwright and lover of film. He talks about his introduction to The Shining at a young age, and the feelings it brought up for him. Not just fear in response to the obvious horror elements, but something else. A feeling that even in the moments that were ostensibly innocuous or banal, there was an undercurrent of unease, of something being not quite right. And he's come back to the film again and again, in part to try to figure out what was going on under the surface to make him feel that way. We talk about Kubrick as a director, the way he turns fans into detectives, the impossible architecture of The Overlook Hotel, and the many fan theories that exist about the subtext of the film.
