Ode & Psyche Podcast, (formally Ruth Stone House Podcast) is a podcast dedicated to cultivating meaningful conversations about the history, function, and intricacies of poetry, illuminating the truths and paradoxes of human consciousness. In both monologue and conversation with poets and thinkers, Ode & Psyche looks deeply at the project of Poetry itself throughout time to the present. In exploring new and old poetry collections, Stone and guests look at mechanisms of poetic craft, as well as theory in poetics, philosophy, psychoanalysis theology and more.
