Well, That's a Deep Subject.
It all starts with something simple—an everyday object, a common phrase, a passing thought. But give it a second look, and suddenly, you're falling into the deep end.
Hosted by James D. Newcomb, Well, That’s a Deep Subject is a slow-sipping conversation series where surface-level questions reveal unexpected depths.
Whether it's a handshake, a coffee mug, or the word "fine," each episode begins with something familiar—and follows it down the rabbit hole of meaning, memory, and mystery.
Sometimes it's philosophical. Sometimes personal. Sometimes playful. Always thoughtful.
So pull up a chair. Pour yourself something warm. And get ready to find out just how deep a subject can go.
