Broughton believed that in order to live an authentic life we each should follow our own weird. He says:
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what the left is doing said the right hand,
But it looks fascinating.&#8221;

And:
&#8220;I may be infecting the whole body
said the Head
but they&#8217;ll never amputate me.&#8221;

Stephen Silha and I visited by phone from his home near Seattle, Washington on Mother&#8217;s Day, 2014. He began our conversation by telling us what drew him to make a film about his friend James Broughton.

The book Stephen Silha recommends is &#8220;The Man Who Fell in Love With the Moon,&#8221; by Tom Spanbauer.

The music in this weeks edition of Radio Curious is &#8220;Twril&#8221; by Norman Arnold, from the movie, &#8220;Big Joy.&#8221;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Radio Curious - Barry Vogel</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 22 May 2026 01:10:21 +0000</pubDate><enclosure length="MB" type="audio/mpeg" url="http://www.radio4all.net/files/vogel@sonic.net/SILHA_STEVE_5.21.26%20IA.mp3"/></item></channel></rss>
