Joined by Adam Parfrey biographer Sam Vandiver Corwin (Feral House/Apocalypse Culture) and Blauergeist, editor and founder of Apocalypse Confidential, we meditate on theories of cultural apocalypse and a retrospective of the great independent media publisher Feral House-how its neutral vision applies to independent projects of today: from the death of noir, Walt Disney, the Process Church, to 'going soft'/when edginess wears off, reclaiming the conspiracy, and how to navigate the all-encompassing post-political invective of being branded a "nihilist". Chaos, hyperstition, and amorphous joy.

We trace the history of apocalypse as a catalyst for para-cultural art projects. Music provided by Sam aka Corwin Trains... purchase his incredible album here. Episode 100____ Thanks for listening🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Special report on the underground nightlife world of cyber-authoritarian fantasy city Singapore w/ journalist/writer Michelle Lhooq, who specializes in drug culture and raves. From making ice, to canings, to millionaires' secret lavish parties, paranoia, narc culture, QR codes, facial recognition…we also go into which part of the US has the best covid and post-covid raves, Thailand's Marijuana industry, the Halloween generator party at Jack Parson’s Devils Dam, M Bar lore, and more. Dark, seedy, scary, this is what partying looks like after the pod. Follow her writing on Substack and here

Why do words/media seem to lose its ability to transmit meaning long term? Emmalea Russo is a writer who focuses on mysticism, horror, media studies, and we examine the way micro-movements inevitably end up in the hands of institutions and brands and gamified as commodity. The Vibe Shift is used as one such modern example, as well as Michel Serres concept of The Parasite, St. Augustine and the return to digital nominalism, Byung Chul Han's The Disappearance of Rituals, Joker mythology, and Bahktin's Jubilee.

Without the physical structure of the church, Christianity wouldn't have survived. We troubleshoot how immateriality becomes unseated, and some solutions on how culture may once again survive.

Think of this as a supplemental episode to the Angelicism01 one. Music contributed by Thomas. 🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸
