On episode fourteen of the Planet Shivers podcast I talk with the fantastic visual artist, Jose Rivera. His portraits will blow your mind, and his oil paintings will do the same! Jose, Isaac, and I get right down to the core of the creative process, realism, and the relationship between the artist and the dreaded real world. This episode also marks a new turn for the podcast. If you check out the Youtube version, as you listen to the conversation you can watch a 'Slow TV' style slideshow of Jose's work, and a new intro segment! This is something I'd like to do for each artist on the show from now on until I have the ability to film the podcasts. This is really an episode NOT to be missed!

Visual Artist, Musician, Photographer, and great friend David “Blacktastic” Canady comes by ‘Planet Shivers’! We had so much to talk about it barely fit into one conversation! Dave and I cover his upcoming African masks art project, Nina Simone, comedy, favorite visual artists, finding artistic beauty in the mundane, and cut-throat jazz. This episode really has it all! Check it out!

This episode and more are available on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, and Youtube! 

For this episode of the Planet Shivers podcast I talk with Hip-Hop artist and actress, Miss Knockout! We cover how Knockout came up, her acting jobs, the state of rap music, and what she is up to now--including the new song 'No Cappin'!

We're back at it for episode eleven! This time it's a short one. We have no guest this time, but I'll be previewing some new shows, looking back on the first ten, and talking about what I've been up to lately. Hopefully you'll at least get a kick out of me, slightly hopped-up on caffeine and ginger, pulling an episode out of my butt in one take.

It is nothing out of the ordinary for college buddies to get together, but it's not often they do so infront of microphones. In this episode of Planet Shivers, I talk with actor, film aficionado, and great friend, Luke Swierczek. We trade some entertaining collage stories, and Luke shares his very strong and enlightening points on film history. 
This episode opens with a short dedication to Pedro Bell, Funkadelic album cover artist, and a favorite of mine, whose passing was announced yesterday.
Funny and informative; this is an episode not to be missed!

This episode of Planet Shivers features the fantastic visual artist, Sandi Carter. Her photorealism is unreal, and her process is unique. Mainly an oil painter, Sandi’s work will engross you with not only it’s precision, but her use of reflections. In this episode Isaac jumps up to the mic with me, and the three of us talk about Sandi’s experiences in art school, her process of painting, and being taught by fellow artist, Shalom Neuman…and how Sandi was Isaac’s own art teacher. This is a fun and warm episode with conversation not to be missed.

Planet Shivers: Ep.8 - 'Boy in the Village' (w/Roy Hannum)
Hosted by - Albert Shivers @albertshivers
Special Guest - Musician and Producer Roy Hannum

For this episode of Planet Shivers I do my first phone interview with musician and music producer Roy Hannum. Roy is a fun and knowledgeable guy, and here we talk about record stores, music producing, original Folk, Gospel, and Blues music, Greenwich Village in the early sixties, and meeting Bob Dylan.

This is another episode, since it's recording, that I've been very eager to finally release. For episode six, I had a lot of fun chatting with my friend, Mike Lynn. He is a contemporary renaissance man. Besides his life-long career as a lawyer, Mike is also a drummer and visual artist. We talk here about Mike's work, and how it is all integrated together with energy and passion. This episode ends with a bang, so you won't want to miss a second!
