For Episode 100 I hade my original Podcasting partner back. Niko Tavernise and I had a podcast 12ish years ago called “The Downward Spiral” where we’d catch up on what we’re doing- Niko is a Set photographer in the film industry and has a unique perspective on Hollywood. Then we’d spiral; I roam the Internet looking for weird stories of depravity and we’d dissect them. Recently the ones I find the most fun are about smugglers and what they go through to get their contraband across boarders. This week we told some personal smuggling stories and find ourselves with people getting caught in unfortunate ways. 

DSP is one of my favorite things to do and I love Niko like a brother, so getting to host ‘reunion’ eps on Full Blast is really awesome. Go back in the Archives of FB to hear earlier eps of The Downward Spiral.
