The podcast is also a radio program with semester seasons. Spring 2009 has been closed with the last show, which is a solo show, that means there was no guest whom professor Harrison interviewed, about Jimi Hendrix. If the shows have a personal touch all along, this solo show has it even more so. And that personal touch is, needless to say, Harrison's own fascination and adoration for Jimi Hendrix. We surf with him on the tones of the music, propelled by the lyrics through the show.Harrison treats Hendrix as a phenomenon and concentrates on the effort to come to grips with the nature of this phenomenon. How can you explain this power of expression? What drove him, what inspired him? Harrison rejects the application of any kind of psycho-analysis, or socio-political embedding of Hendrix. He takes the man as a kind of singularity, an angel, an alien, a voodoo child and joins Hendrix's lyrics into this search into the mystics of True Identity and Deeper Nature. Listening to the podcast turns into an experience pur sang.

Anne I'm so pleased that you've started to get into Entitled Opinions. It's nice to know someone who enjoys and understand the show as much as I do. :)
I wouldn't dare to claim I fully understand the show, but once I started picking episodes, I gradually was pulled in.
An important role was also played by my wife. As I recommended a couple of issues to her, she began listening to all of them and encouraged me to pick them as well and that was the final push.
