⚠️ This is a rerelease of a previously aired episode (original air date: June 17, 2023), but it’s too rich not to revisit. Sage Francis—the indie hip-hop icon and founder of Strange Famous Records—joined Tai for a vulnerable, hilarious, and inspiring conversation right before his big return to the stage at Rhymefest LA and the Strange Famous Fest in Denver.

🎙️ This is a re-release of a past DOD45 episode originally lost when Spotify shut down our old podcast account. We’re rebuilding the archive here, so thanks for catching this one again—or for the first time.

In this episode, our scheduled guest canceled last minute (classic), but instead of folding, Tai & Adrienne flipped the mics on and let it roll. What followed is an off-the-cuff hang packed with wild stories, travel tangents, and a few heartfelt gems.

Here’s what’s inside:

DOD45 is a visual podcast hosted by artist Tai Taeoalii (@artbytai) and co-host Adrienne. Each episode features surreal art created live during in-depth convos with artists, musicians, and creatives. This time, it’s just the two of them—but the episode’s still fully loaded.

We’re bringing this one back for a reason. Originally aired during Series 5, this bite-sized episode features a soul-nourishing pop-in from the one and only Doseone, celebrating the release of his album, Even With Demons.

Tai and Adrienne chop it up with Dose about art, therapy, creative resilience, and the power of not streaming. This physical-only EP (limited to 300 vinyl, 100 tapes) sparked a deeper convo on authenticity in the indie music world—and why Doseone’s music has always felt like family.

In this episode:

💡 Even With Demons was a physical-only drop from Hands Made, continuing Dose’s mission to give something rare and real to the people who truly listen.

We’re diving back into our Series 5 archives for this bite-sized banger—an experimental, vibe-heavy turning point for the show, back when we were still toe-dipping into the chaos pool.

Originally released during our “structure meets madness” season, this ep caught Tai & Adrienne in rare form: teasing BIG guests, riffing on weird questions, and live-drawing an album cover for the poetic powerhouse Myles Bullen. (Spoiler: That album still slaps.)

We’re crackin’ open the vault for a celebratory rerun of EPISODE 50—a milestone moment originally aired live during Series 4. This was the era where things finally clicked: tighter format, smoother flow, Dibbs dropped the theme music, and we hit our groove… at least compared to the glorious chaos of Series 3.

If you're just catching up, this one’s packed with wild stories, weird art, and heartfelt shoutouts to the early-day DOD45 heads who helped build this strange little empire.

We’re flying through Series 8 of The DOD45 Show, and this week, Eligh steps back in the chair.

We talk Colorado life (he’s fully reached nature bro status), how his visual art never dipped (he’s got 2 pieces in the Little Things group show), and what’s ahead for the Legends: an upcoming L.A. pop-up, San Diego show (May 25), and a Hawaii mini-tour.

🎨 Tai draws him a Hobbit-inspired piece mid-convo—featuring a hype hobbit, crow-shaped kites, and Gandalf looming with wisdom. Eligh opens up about why that world still hits deep.

SPOTIFY SHOW NOTES: Welcome to Series 8 of The DOD45 Show! We're kicking off our triple-digit era with the return of lyrical lifer, brewer, and Tucson pillar RUNT of Jivin Scientists. This ain't his first DOD45 rodeo, but it's possibly his most delightfully chaotic one yet.

We talk art, awkward waves, haunted Airbnbs, corn-eating styles, and what happens when you put James Hetfield's beard on James Harden’s face. But we also dig into the soul of the scene—Runt’s poetry, his grind, and the community he’s building behind the bar at Brickbox Brewery. And yes, he has a piece in our "Little Things" show.

🎙️ Episode Highlights:

• Runt’s writing process: still chasing lightning or calling storms?

🎧 Episode Movie & Song Recommendations: 🎬 Sinners – A genre-bending banger set in 1932 Mississippi. Directed by Ryan Coogler, starring Michael B. Jordan as twin brothers caught between juke joints and supernatural horror. Over $280M at the box office. Soulful, strange, and powerful. Watch trailer

🎵 Texas Funeral – Listen by Jon Wayne (1985) Alt-country, cowpunk and Americana satire that gained cult status after appearing in From Dusk Till Dawn. Originally intended for Pulp Fiction. Weird in the best way.

🎵 Patriarch – Listen by Cas One ft. Bitter Stephens & Dizzy Wolfe Explores the seesaw between artistic mastery and self-doubt. A reminder that art sometimes owns us more than we own it.

Remember back in Series 4 when we were finally getting our act together? Yeah, this episode dropped Feb 15, 2023—we had new Mr. Dibbs theme music, tighter pacing, actual flow... and a podcast host still drawing mutant animals in real time. We’d evolved a ton since the chaotic mess of Series 3. But now that we’re deep into Series 8, we’re re-releasing this wild, wormhole of an episode because—get this—Spotify terminated our original account like absolute maniacs. Yep, they nuked our entire podcast history.

So we’re bringing them back. All of 'em. As many past episodes as we can, as often as we can... because they deserve to be seen, heard, and weirded out over. Just like this one.

In Episode 49, Tai (@ArtByTai) and Adrienne crossed time zones, hemispheres, and possibly dimensions to beam in Aussie underground wordsmith @Thorts for a proper cross-continent convo:

🌏 2 Countries

That’s right. While Tai warped Thorts’ beloved cat Frank into a surreal Quokka/Taipei 101 hybrid, the convo bounced between:

🐨 Unhinged Australia-centric hypotheticals

💥 So yeah, if you dig what we’re doing on The DOD45 Show, don’t be a lurker:
