Feeding Curiosity
Hosted by Erich Wenzel · EN
This podcast is a space for slow, curious conversations about the stories shaping our inner lives. We explore symbolism, archetypes, faith, philosophy, and thought experiments hidden inside film, anime, sci-fi, and modern myth. Using pop culture as a starting point—not the destination—we ask what these stories reveal about meaning, morality, identity, and being human in a chaotic world.
