  • Tilting at Windmills, S3, Ep 158: For Benjamin Gorman's birthday ... a parade?
    Jan 6 2026

    On this episode, it’s Benjamin Gorman’s birthday. Unlike the US where January 6ths reminds us all of an attempted violent overthrow of the government, in Spain it’s Dia de Reyes. There’s a big parade … on the fifth. And most of the restaurants are closed. But, on the plus side, Benjamin finds a place with one last can of Mtn. Dew!

  • Tilting at Windmills, S3, Ep. 156: A Poem with More Question Marks than Periods
    Dec 23 2025

    On this episode, Benjamin Gorman takes you to the dog park, shares a poem, then compares it to the lack of concrete answers many of us feel in a world where the criminals are in charge of enforcing the law.

    Find Benjamin Gorman here: https://linktr.ee/benjamingorman

    Here’s the text of the poem:

    How Does a Dog

    by Benjamin Gorman

    How does a dog

    interpret “I’m going to miss you”

    through the veil of

    new vocabulary and

    incomprehensible tense?

    Does it sound like

    “I love you” or

    “I’m sad” or

    “You’ve been bad”

    or just

    “I’m giving you attention now

    and that’s enough”?

    and is it

    really that different

    for anyone else?
