Welcome to Crystal Ballers, a podcast celebrating the audacity to create our future now, with your hosts Britten LaRue and Natasha Levinger.
This week, Natasha & Britten are excited to welcome special guest, PJ of Poster Journal. Poster Journal is a public diary that doesn't hold back—a bold mix of wit, candor, and all-caps chaos. Its minimalist style is nostalgic yet timeless, speaking from the heart (and sometimes screaming). Launched anonymously in 2020, Poster Journal has evolved into a loud, unfiltered voice in the art world, growing more acidic and unabashed with each passing year. With phrases that are as vulnerable as they are biting, Poster Journal captures the messiness of being human and dares its followers to do the same. Its mission? To say what you're thinking so you don't have to.

Inspired by Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, it’s space to celebrate the audacity to create our Future now. In a world that minimizes the subjective experience, it takes swagger to validate our dreams, desires, and visions in co-creation with the unseen, the unexplainable, and the felt. Britten and Natasha invite listeners into the concept of "skilled feelership" - the practice of honoring and developing one's intuitive abilities as a skill, rather than seeing it as a fixed trait. They explore the reclamation of feminine power, intuitive development, and the collective shift happening in 2025 and beyond. With weekly episodes and monthly guests, Crystal Ballers’ primary goal is to support listeners in staying present to their power no matter what astrological and energetic shifts are present.
