In the premier episode of his new podcast The Oxbow, Matthew Stillman sets the stage for a series of free-flow ruminations centered around a single word. This episode's word brodo inspires memories of the classic tortellini in brodo Matthew first tasted in Italy many years ago, and branches off on an examination of the domestication of animals, the writings of Marshall McLuhan, traveling in a land where you don’t speak the language, the value of silence and the art of listening.
