  • Summary

  • Welcome back!

    In the first new episode in over a year, I was very happy and enlightened with sit down and chat with my friend Dan Holder. When I asked Dan what story he would be most interested in talking about for RTF he quickly replied Master and Commander.

    As I learned, Master and Commander is a 20+ book series on the adventures of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin. As such, we condensed the series down to watching the 2003 film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World; starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany. I absolutely loved this film and can't believe I didn't see it when it first came out.

    In this episode we discuss:

    • The British fleet and what it meant to the British psyche
    • The role of duty and how historical pieces help us view how people in the past had different mindsets than today
    • Superstition at sea and how that affects people
    • The beauty of the Galopagos Islands and how they engender a sense of secular spirituality in me
    • Many other elements of the film and books.

    A big thanks to Dan in joining me for this episode, and stay tuned for more!
