Something completely different for the podcast, Psikotyk gets a chance to talk with the talent-juggernaut that is Aeona Cruz. Successful actress, touring social advocate, author, pageantry contestant (and potential ghost-seeker?), and all before she's legal to do all the things that likely cause the distractions that keep us "adults" from succeeding in the first place!

MUSIC:

Michael Jackson - Man in the Middle & Heal the World

For the first episode of Season Four of The Closet of Nonsense, we couldn't think of a better way to return than to visit with our comrade and colleague Sabrina Sins. We spend our time talking about her current career struggles, the downfall of social media society, just how busy life can really get, and (of course) her cats.

MUSIC:

Dance Gavin Dance - Prisoner

Silverstein - Smile in Your Sleep

The greatest thing about being involved in so many facets of the entertainment industry is that we almost always have friends and colleagues doing something amazing, and Fallon Vendetta is ALWAYS working. So, finding time is difficult, as it so often is, BUT she and costar Sophie Roberts found ninety minutes in their hectic shooting schedule to sit down and discuss their upcoming indie film, "Sucks 2 Suck". Other than describing the utter chaos that comes with creating an independent project like this, they also very openly discuss their inspirations behind the project, and why instances like these create stronger bonds and friendships even amongst the negatives that occur in life.

MUSIC:

SZA - Kill Bill

Vampires Everywhere - Suffocate Me

An obligatory solo episode from Psikotyk as we try to finish out this season strong with the interviews and conversations we have scheduled. This one is picked straight from the headlines... or really, ABOUT the headlines, as he talks about how to filter out misinformation and learn to interpret for yourselves where you get your information from.

MUSIC:

Anxxiety - Heartbreak

The Broken Poet Society - Stitches

One of those episodes that honestly should have happened back in Season One, Psikotyk finally got to sit down and chop it up with round-the-year purveyor of horror and the macabre, Samhain the One. A staunch supporter of the Halloween365 movement, Samhain is also an online personality and streamer known for his off-the-cuff banter; that comes through in this episode as we discuss online personality versus irl, what it means to live as a character, and why we tend to sell ourselves short in so many situations we generally excel at.

MUSIC:

The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Kordhell - Murder in My Mind

One of the interviews we have always wanted to do (as her multi-dimensional, multi-faceted, multi-interest brand of marketing is what we as a podcast strive for), we couldn't be happier to be joined by musician/model/designer/influencer BABYCHAOS on this episode. Not only do we discuss her varying interests and career paths, but how that affects her overall lifestyle when it has been in process for as long as hers. This incredibly driven and strong woman should teach classes on brand establishment, and she shares some of that insight and how it translates across media formats and in real life.

Music:
BABYCHAOS - "Icon" and "Flesh"

We're back, after a longer-than-intended break from broadcasting! And by 'we', we mean 'Psikotyk', as this is just a solo, let's catch up and talk some shop, spill some tea, and ruffle through the neighbor's garbage because you can't get in trouble for looking even though you have zero proof they're ACTUALLY hiding aliens in their basement kind of episode.

Music:
Skies Marie - "Last Hope"
Ekoh - "Freeverse 6"

It took a little begging. Groveling, really. But former Go from There Podcast alum Travanti Jaramillo finally relented, and we ended up having a very open conversation. Ranging in topics from what it means to establish ones own legacy to how celbrity can differ from personal connection when it comes to loss, and of course on to the inevitable debate on the state of political affairs we seem to always fall back on.

Music:
Controlled Demise - "Cocaine Super Saiyan"
MC Entity - "I Drink"

Another interview that was originally scheduled for Season Two, Psikotyk managed to get musician/artist/film star Nick Bedrosian on the line for a candid conversation about his career. Topics vary from how different touring and live performance is post-Covid to how perspective and experience can not only shape how you walk through your life, but how you can put yourself in others' shoes more easily, to random stories of our colorful history together.

Music:
Otherwise - "Exit Wound"
Halsey - "I"m Not a Woman, I'm a God"

Originally scheduled for Season Two, we finally got a chance to get a phone conversation in with designer/model/clothing label owner Little Paulson. We talk about the wonders of online connection and communication, how it feels to be sleep deprived on purpose, and some of our nightmare situations in the various workplaces we share.

Music:
Jasiah feat. jdxn - "Earthquake"
Pardyalone - "Not a Home"
