Yeah, sam[]zdat linked to Hotel Concierge at least once. A series on Technics & Civilization does sound appealing, but my podcast consumption has been approaching 0. Steiner: yeah, need to read something by him - unfortunately, not someone I can e-mail! (Which book?)

"recommendations from his commentariat" - JMG's, not Steiner's? :P Yes, the recommendations there are very good fairly often, but not much on other occultists; I wasn't aware about how close to occultism Christopher Alexander might get, and I thought wrathofgnon (whose Substack I read) was some kind of pseudo-conservative, not-that-interesting, Christian, religion-wise?

The ones I could mention that come closest (none scratches JMG by volume; I might consider arguing some have written at similar quality sometimes) - and I do imagine you already heard about a bunch:

- Ceisiwr Serith's site and YouTube channel have material on Indo-European culture(s); also, he's (surprisingly for a Neopagan?) a US patriot I thought had some good stuff to say on that;
- I'd say Don Webb (former Temple of Set leader, only in books), Ivy Bromius ( circlethrice.com ), and Jason Miller all have written good personal/social/professional advice, that you'd need no interest in occultism to appreciate (Jason got a favorable review of Financial Sorcery from a personal finance blog with no occult aspect), but I think Ivy's the only one with a blog containing articles you could point to someone with no occult interest (assuming they don't run from a sidebar containing "Magic");
- (sometime Ecosophia commenter) Kenaz Filan did the above, plus some cultural commentary I found correct if not that hard to find elsewhere;
- Gordon White, IMO, is the only one with a fairly extensive body of non-occult writing - I haven't been reading him of late, but I did like a bunch of his articles;
- John R. King IV's ( imperialarts.livejournal.com ) blogging is always occult, but I consider it just about always relevant to non-occult activity (since he's known for talking about *evoking demons*, I figure I should link to https://imperialarts.livejournal.com/13280.html and https://imperialarts.livejournal.com/18341.html ).

(Of those, *maybe* White, Bromius, and Serith are presentable to people without occult interests ...)
