Abstract Audio

Where Do We Draw The Line Between Personal Freedom And Exploitation? In This Solo Episode Of Abstract Audio, We Explore The Complicated World Of Human Trafficking, Prostitution, And The Systems That Shape How Society Views The Human Body.

From The Debate Surrounding The Legalization Of Sex Work To The Uncomfortable Realities Of Trafficking, Consent, And Commodification, We Question Who Really Benefits From Criminalization, Who Gets Left Vulnerable, And Whether Society’s Attempts To Protect People Sometimes Do More Harm Than Good.

When Survival, Money, And Personal Choice Collide, How Do We Distinguish Empowerment From Exploitation? And More Importantly, Who Gets To Decide?

Season 3, Episode 11 Ft. Westside Casanova

What Really Lies Beneath The Surface? In This Episode, Featuring Artist Westside Casanova, We Dig Into The Fascinating World Of The Underground—From Buried Civilizations, Ancient Discoveries, And Hidden History To Underground Art, Secret Societies, And The Mysterious Hollow Earth Theory.

Together, We Explore Why Humanity Is So Fascinated With What Lies Beneath Us, Why Artists Often Develop Outside The Mainstream, And Whether The Things We Bury Become More Valuable Simply Because They’re Hidden. From Pompeii And Atlantis To Catacombs, Underground Living, And The Meaning Behind “As Above, So Below,” We Question Our Relationship With Depth, Darkness, And Discovery.

After All, Is The Underground Really The Opposite Of The Surface, Or Is It The Foundation Of Everything Above It?

What Are We Really Afraid Of When We’re Afraid Of The Dark?

For Episode 10, Host Amber Janae Speaks With Her Youngest Guest Yet—Her Son, Zion—As They Explore Darkness Through The Eyes Of Both A Child And An Adult.

From Childhood Fears, Monsters, And Racism To The Unknown, Darkness Of Outer Space And The Deepest Parts Of The Ocean, They Explore Why Humans Have Learned To Fear Something They Can’t See.

Through Science, Imagination, Art, And A Child’s Perspective, They Ask A Bigger Question: Is Darkness Something We Were Taught To Fear—And If So, Why?

The Further We Look Into Space, The More The Questions Seem To Come Back To Us…

In This Solo Episode, Host Amber Janae Looks Beyond Earth To Explore The Wonder, Mystery And Uncertainty Surrounding Space. From The Stars And The Moon To The Vastness Of The Universe And What May Exist Beyond What We Can See, This Episode Questions How Much We Truly Know—And How Much We’ve Just Learned To Accept.

We’re Exploring Humanity’s Fascination With Looking Upward, Mapping The Unknown And Turning The Cosmos Into Stories, Images And Possibilities… Into Art.

What If The Patterns We See Aren’t Just Patterns At All?

In This Episode, We’re Joined By Artist KHIMERA To Explore The Patterns That Seem To Show Up Everywhere. Inspired By The Idea Of Sacred Geometry, We’re Talking About The Literal Patterns Found In Art, Nature, Numbers, Shapes And Design, But Also The Patterns We Recognize Throughout Our Own Lives: Repetition, Cycles, Coincidences And Those Moments That Make You Wonder If Something Bigger Is At Work.

Why Are Humans So Naturally Drawn To Finding Order And Meaning? When Does Coincidence Happen Often Enough To Stop Feeling Coincidental? And Are We Simply Recognizing Connections Because Our Brains Are Wired To Find Them—Or Could There Actually Be Some Kind Of Design Behind It All?

From The Patterns We Create To The Ones We Can’t Seem To Escape, This Episode Asks Where Randomness Ends And Providence Begins.

What Happens When Admiration Turns Into Worship? In This Episode, Ft. Rapper Don Parious, We Explore Why Humans Create Idols—From Celebrities And Influencers To Brands, Athletes, Politicians, And Even Our Own Beliefs. We Unpack The Psychology Behind Obsession, Parasocial Relationships, Hero Worship, And Why Society Is Constantly Searching For Something—Or Someone—To Put On A Pedestal.

Along The Way, We Question What It Really Means To Be An Icon, Whether We’ve Replaced Ancient Gods With Modern Ones, And How Art, Culture, And Media Shape The People We Choose To Elevate. The Conversation Challenges Listeners To Consider Not Only Who They Idolize, But Why They Do It—And What That Says About Us.

What Makes A Space Feel Sacred?

Is It A Church, A Temple, Or A Shrine? Or Can A Bedroom, A Tattoo Studio, A Favorite Coffee Shop, Or Even The Seat You Always Choose Become Sacred Too?

This Week On Abstract Audio, Host Amber Janae Sits Down With Actress And Creative Sauda Muse To Discuss How Our Surroundings Influence The Way We Feel, Create, Heal, And Connect.

From Personal Altars And Everyday Rituals To Art Studios, Neighborhoods, And Places Of Worship, They Explore The Roles That Intention, Memory, Identity, Design, And Energy Play In Giving A Space Meaning.

Is Sacredness Built Into A Place—Or Brought There By The People Who Enter It?

This Week On Abstract Audio, We’re Listening For What Isn’t There. The Pause Between Words. The Hum Beneath The Noise. Is Silence Simply The Absence Of Sound, Or Have We Been Surrounded By Signals We Never Learned How To Receive? From Vibrations And Frequencies To Body Language, Energy, And The Unspoken, We’re Wondering If The World Has Been Talking This Whole Time — And Whether We’ve Ever Actually Been Quiet Enough To Hear It. Tune In To Season 3, Episode 5: Silence Or Signals.

Language Is One Of The Greatest Tools Humanity Has Ever Created. It Connects Us, Teaches Us, Inspires Us—And Sometimes Divides Us. But What Happens When Words Fall Short?

Joined By Writer, Editor, And Podcaster Kelly Swails, This Episode Explores The Power And The Limits Of Language. We Ask Whether Words Shape Reality Or Simply Describe It, And Why Some Experiences Seem Impossible To Put Into Words. From Slang And Spells To Fungi And Animals, This Conversation Examines The Invisible Framework That Influences How We Connect With One Another—And How We Understand The World Itself.

As Children, We’re Taught That Secrets Are Something Tucked Away, Locked Behind Closed Doors And Whispered Between A Select Few. But As Adults, We Realize That Power Operates Differently. The Forces Shaping Our Lives, Relationships, Beliefs, And Opportunities Aren’t Always Concealed. Sometimes They’re Built Directly Into The Systems Around Us.

This Episode Explores The Tension Between What Is Intentionally Kept From Us And What Is Simply Accepted Without Question. The Things We Wish We Didn’t Know. The Things We’re Told Not To Ask. The Invisible Lines That Determine Who Gets Access, Who Gets Heard, And Who Gets Left Standing “Outside The Club.”

Come Along, We’ve Got Mysteries To Solve.
