On Everything is a podcast of short, often poetic essays by Nathaniel David Knox — reflections on life in all its beauty, terror, strangeness, and wonder. Nothing is off-limits: nostalgia and nature, coffee and the cosmos, faith and doubt, fear and loathing, the elevation of the ordinary, and the attempt to capture just one jar of that elusive lightning... in a word: life.

Each of these reflections follows a hunch, an inkling, that strange golden thread through the fog — searching, stumbling, laughing, trembling, grieving, dreaming — until, perhaps, your thread and the one woven throughout this show cross paths for a while, and we walk alongside each other before parting ways again.

This show is for anyone and everyone who's ever felt that uncanny pull toward... something, like a golden thread towards a lighthouse you've never seen, in a world where that certain something-ness seems to have its divine fingerprints On Everything.

So pull up a chair and listen along with a fellow wanderer prone to ponder.
