The dynamic duo behind Weird Studies, Phil Ford and J F Martel, join the show to explore the ways in which art is a form of evocation.

We look at:

• Orson Welles as divine shamanic faker.
• Hollywood's vaudeville origins.
• What is a trick and what is a lie and can you even use those words if they show you the 'truth'?
• 'Western' and non-'Western' understandings of the imaginal and the artist.
• Where 'inspiration' and even 'thoughts' come from and what that might mean.

An amazing chat. Enjoy!
