The ‘Phoric

I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

Rob Paterson and I have come up with an idea for a series of podcasts we’re calling The ‘Phoric. That’s phoric as in euphoric metaphoric and maybe some other phorics too.

The idea: One guest per podcast who chooses three video clips that inspire them and say something about the way the world is or could be. We talk for 10mins max, and post the podcast and the clips to The ‘Phoric.

Rob and I have gone first. Predictably, I’ve gone down memory lane with Monty Python. Rob has some inspired thoughts based on this classic scence from The Magnifcent Seven

… as well as Witness and The 13th Warrior.

Go check it out, and let us know if you’d like to be a guest…
