I had the unique opportunity to chat with author and tuba master Joshua Cutchin in person, as he was in my vicinity due to a presentation that he was giving at Paracon in KC. We met where he was staying and sat down to have a lovely conversation about his latest book, "Fourth Wall Phantoms: Reflections on the Paranormal, Narrative, and Fictions Becoming Fact", imbuing creations with autonomy, fictional characters appearing in the 3D, archetypes, retrocausality, ex nihilo, narrative, wondertales, our inner 12-year-olds, egregores, tulpas, metalepsis, and mucho more!

Hunter and I had the unexpurgated pleasure of speaking to the former drummer of one of our favorite bands since the mid-'80s, Dead Can Dance. Peter Ulrich joined us to talk about his book "Drumming With Dead Can Dance and Parallel Adventures," which describes how he crossed paths with Brendan Perry & Lisa Gerrard from the band, his experiences while in the band, and his life afterwards. What makes Dead Can Dance's music so important is it's ability to transcend all musical genres whilst utilizing so many within their music. They take music and artistic expression to a new level. It is the pop music of metaphysical philosophers, anthropologists, and astronomers.

Hunter and I were fortunate enough to get an opportunity to continue our conversation with Robert Temple from Episode #241, where he began speaking about his decades-long experiences that he has during his dreams, where he is taken to a place that seems to be some version of an afterlife. It is unlike anything that I have heard before, and we found the entire conversation immensely fascinating!
