Musician Bart Lever and Chinese medicine practitioner Anthony O’Connor are set to launch the third season of their podcast ‘Weshtern Philosophy’ next week.
Staying true to its tagline, ‘Two friends with oceans of notions discuss the unseen forces in our lives through the lens of music, mystery and craic’, Season 3 of the podcast will feature more interviews, banter and deep dives into the obscure and the magical.

The duo started their podcast during the rainy springtime of 2024, with the goal of creating a warm, welcoming space in which to discuss ethereal topics in a grounded way through long-form conversation.

So far they’ve had writers, musicians, artists, psychics, craniosacral therapists, theatre directors, athletes, politicians, men’s work facilitators and womb workers on the pod digging into topics like ‘Dreams’, ‘Boundaries’, ‘Peace’ and ‘Failure’.

Since conversation and connection are so important to the podcast so far they record all guests in person, sitting together at Anthony’s kitchen table in North Clare.
“We’re very excited to be back. The response to the first two seasons was wonderful. It seems many people are really connecting with what we’re trying to do. For Season 3, we are planning to live up to this by addressing more current and perhaps trickier topics, and by connecting people with guests who can give perspective and guidance on the issues we’re facing now”, says Anthony. “Alternatively we might also just end up having a lovely chat, which is its own kind of healing!”

The new season premiers on Monday April 7th and a new episode will come out every Monday thereafter. You can find the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube, and can also follow them on Instagram and Facebook. Search for ‘Weshtern Philosophy’ (don’t forget the ‘h’!)
