  • Season 3, Episode 16 - Human Design
    Alright gang, this week we're diving into the world of Human Design.  
    Allegedly, your soul came here with a plan to live a spectacular life and Human Design is the roadmap on how to live yours.    Human Design has quickly become a popular pseudoscience. A system built on astrology, I Ching, Kabbalah and the Chakras.   Prior to this episode I knew nothing about it, so I decided to dive right in. Obtaining my body graph, I navigate this complex system and try attempt to understand a number of things.   
    The difference between my design and my personality. Channels and gates. Why am I a manifesting generator? And what do these little symbols and numbers actually mean?

  • Season 3, Episode 15 - If I Don't Make It, I Love You

    Alright gang, this week we're joined by Amye Archer, co-creator of the book 'If I Don't Make It, I Love You'.  


    'If I Don't Make It' is a collection of true stories told by survivors of school shootings.  

    In this episode Amye talks to me about how the anthology came together and what she's learned from its creation. How she approached survivors to share their stories and the haunting details that linger.  

    We also get into the prolonged trauma of the Columbine generation. Counselling and after care. The American gun crisis as a whole. The Activism and advocacy its spawned, and the steps needed for reform.   

    It's by no means an easy conversation, but it's one so many people need to have and to expand upon.

  • Season 3, Episode 14 - Art, Trauma, & Ketamine

    Alright gang, this week we're joined by Rick from Fifty11 Media.  


    Rick has lived one hell of a life (to put it mildly).   



    In this episode we dig into just a few particular areas, including his time in the military, becoming an EMT and the accident which forced him to retire.   

    But our main focus revolves around Ketamine Infusion Therapy.   

    In a candid discussion, Rick explains what it is, how it works, and what's on his 'Ketamine Jams' playlist.  Digging deeper into the topic he talks about some of the event's that led him to seek treatment in the first place.  

    The positive affects it's had on him, both as a person and a father, and how it's been a major catalyst for his artistic endeavours.

  • Season 3, Episode 13 - The Rhythms of Marina Abramovic

    Alright gang, this week we're taking a look at the early work of Marina Abramovic.   


    Since discovering her through the documentary and MOMA performance 'The Artist is Present' I've developed a deep fascination with Marina Abramovic, both the person and the performance artist.   

    In this episode I'm specifically looking at her first foray into performance art, the Rhythm series. A collection of exhibits from the 1970s which saw Abramovic use her own body to push boundaries.   



    Testing her levels of endurance and her relationship with the audience, the Rhythm series invoked radical new ideas and dramatically transformed Abramovic in the process.

  • Season 3, Episode 12 - Escaping The Rabbit Hole of QAnon

    Alright gang, this week we're pulling ourselves out the rabbit hole of QAnon.  


    In the second part of our conversation with Alice, a former member of QAnon, we discuss the effects Q had on her marriage. The elements that made her question the community, what eventually led to her escape from the rabbit hole, and how she's using her story to help others effected by QAnon.

  • Season 3, Episode 11 - Falling Down The Rabbit Hole of QAnon

    Alright gang, this week we're entering the rabbit hole of QAnon.

    In the first of a two part conversation, Alice, a former follower of QAnon details her experience before and during her time in the cult of Q.

    In a candid discussion Alice explains how it is she found QAnon in the first place, what pulled her deeper into the community and how her time with Q effected her life and the relationships around her.

    This is by no means a breakdown or an expose of QAnon. It's a real, eye opening account from the other side of the aisle.


    One that delves into awakenings, dramatic political shifts, inverted views, white hats, algorithms, and compassionate bridges from one world to another.

    • Season 3, Episode 10 - The Church of the SubGenius

      Alright gang, this week we're taking a look at the Church of the SubGenius.

  


      What started off as joke that became a pamphlet that became a parody religion/weird fringe cult, The Church of the SubGenius is quite the thing to behold.   

      From the pursuit of slack, the origin of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs and the constant fight against 'the conspiracy', to the prophecy of X day and beyond. 

  

      This episode discusses the church's origins, it's dogma, it's culture jamming philosophies and traces its absurd journey through space and time, whatever those things are.

    • Season 3, Episode 9 - Talking To Myself

      Alright gang, this week our special guest is…me.

      Playing the role of both of interviewer and interviewee, I have a much needed conversation with myself about a number of things.

      In an effort to be more transparent and to allow myself to be more vulnerable, this episode digs into my headspace. The depression and anxiety I've felt throughout the last two and half years, but in particular the last six months.


      The severe disconnect I've felt. Being alienated in my surroundings. Struggling with a new country and culture. The things I've done to try and outrun these feelings and why I need to face them.

      This is admittedly a bit of an indulgent concept, but by talking about these things out loud, it's helped me breathe life into realisation.

      As always thank you for listening and if any of you can relate to the subject matter at hand here, I hope this gives you some sense of comfort.

    • Season 3, Episode 8 - Pulling Oracle Cards with Kathy Crabbe

      Alright gang, this week we're pulling oracle cards.


      In the concluding part of my conversation with artist, psychic, astrologer & soul reader Kathy Crabbe, I have my chakra's checked and Kathy pulls a couple of cards from her hand made oracle decks.   

      This mini session of sorts not only moved me to look inwards a little more, but it also provided some helpful creative prompts, such as free/automatic writing.   

      As an added bonus, me and Kathy also touch upon a couple of interesting areas towards the end of our chat. Mainly her thoughts on determinism and dealing with any negative information she receives amidst her soul readings.
