	'''B:''' That's pretty wild. Cause they are like substantial videos where, you know, there's editing and you have sources and that kind of stuff coming up on the screen. It's very cool. I do encourage people to check out your channel. You've covered topics that I know people that listen to this show would be interested in. You've got some great videos on Lilith. You have at least one on biblical giants. The Refahim episode you did is very cool. Recently you had one on the biblical Magi for Christmas. That was a cool one. So I think people should check that out. But why don't you actually take a moment, I know some of our listeners are already fans of what you do, but for those who are learning about you for the first time, why don't you just take a moment, tell us who you are, what you do, what your field is, hype yourself up.

	'''J:''' Thank you. I'm Justin Sledge. I'm a, an expert, I suppose, in the field of Western esotericism, which is like you said, it covers things like alchemy and magic and the occult Kabbalah, which we'll talk about later today. My PhD is in philosophy from the ~~university~~ of Memphis, but I also have an advanced degree from the University of Amsterdam, which is one of the only degree granting institutions where you study hermetic philosophy and you can get an advanced degree in hermetic philosophy and other things that I do.

	I run the YouTube channel Esoterica, which is a academic channel that studies Western esotericism mostly prior to about 1850. I have other colleagues that cover material after that, although I do some forays into modernity, but mostly I'm covering stuff prior to 1850. So yeah, it's a Western esotericism is a new, exciting sort of interdisciplinary branch and the humanities and covers over religious studies. It incorporates a lot of history, some philosophy. I'm a rare philosopher in this field. Most of it's religious studies and in history folk, but I tend to bring a more philosophical lens and analysis to the topics.
