If you listened to the last episode you know that my conversation with Noam went into overtime with the score tied. We had so much to talk about that I split the episode into two parts. This is the second part. We finished part 1 talking about some of the common myths of henna and henna history, and the conversation picked up in that same stream. We also talked a lot about Noam's work as a henna artist, especially how he uses henna as part of his role of Ritual Facilitator. I knew nothing about this aspect of Noam's life so it was fascinating to just sit back and listen.
Since starting this podcast I have heard from many people that they don't listen to podcasts or don't know how. I am such an avid consumer of podcasts that I didn't realize that not everyone was as obsessed by them as I. Podcasts fill an entertainment niche for me. They are great for times when I want entertainment but I can't watch a screen, maybe because I am biking, or lying on the beach, or drawing henna designs or am crammed into a subway car on my way to work. Podcast fills those moments where I can't read or watch a movie, or when I want something more than music. It sounds like I hardly spend any time not consuming some form of entertainment but trust me, there are many hours of the day when I am alone with my thoughts.
For those of you who want to delve into podcasts I have links on the sidebar here to some of my favorite podcasts. If you are not sure how to find podcasts and subscribe to them, I have listed some website to help get you started on the wonderful world of podcasts.
