Episode #46 – Names

Welcome to Episode 46 of the Get in the G Zone podcast.

Today our podcast meditation focuses on names.

The definition of the word name is fairly simple – a word or group of words by which a person, place, or thing is known or referred to. The concept of naming, however, is so complicated and far-reaching that it’s not even known how far back the tradition of giving individuals names actually goes. In this podcast, we’ll consider all kinds of names – and our gratitude for them.
