In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alexster DenBaars, the vocalist of the Emotional Hardcore band, Self Neglect. 

Alex has been in the music scene for a long time. From Arroyo Deathmatch to Self Neglect, their vocals reflect so much emotion and intensity, which is why we had them as a guest vocalist for Only Fables, in our song Gallows. Alex is a musician, poet, teacher, writer, and a friend to the bizarre.

The Reprobates Podcast with Josh Hyde

In this episode,  I’m speaking with Marcé Butler and Tamara Romero about losing religion.  The three of us discuss their journeys away from faith and finding peace on the other side. 

Born and raised in Galveston Texas, Marcé is a lifelong devotee of all things weird. Her passion for exploration and interest is not relegated to one aspect of culture and she is always willing to pursue her curiosity deep into the various rabbit holes that her proclivities present. Whether it’s spirituality, existentialism, Blackness, femininity, queerness, taboo, theater, or any other social or cultural practice, Marcé seeks to shed light and give a face to the less regarded and further fringe entities that breathe life into the Black experience in America. Marcé Butler is our gracious host and the voice of The Esoteric Negro.

Marcé Butler is the host of The Esoteric Negro Podcast. Find and subscribe to them wherever you listen to podcasts.

Ep. 3: Lucifer Sweetwolf (Dark Room Horror’s Late Night Horror Host)

Dark Room Horror Presents
The Reprobates Podcast with Josh Hyde

In this third episode,  I’m speaking with a friend who not only found spiritual freedom in Satanism, but personal power in sobriety.

I’m speaking with the Sweetwolf himself, Jason Kissam, Dark Room Horror’s very own late-night horror host.

Over the course of this interview, we cover his religious upbringing, and what led him away from the church, Satanism, and sobriety

Musical Outro by Moonhaven

By fusing the aggression of hardcore with sonic elements inspired by post-rock and shoegaze, Moonhaven use ethereal melodies alongside punchy riffs and dynamic harmonies to craft their sound. 

Different Now is a song of acknowledgement. There are things in our past that pull us down, and keep us away from things we love. Yet, if we can take a moment to recognize that “It’s Different now,” it may give us a moment to breathe.

In this second episode, my close friend and artist Yoshino joins us to talk about religion, Artist Decoded, NOH/WAVE, and what it took for him to become successful in life.

In 2017, Yoshino and fellow artist, Justin Hopkins, formed the artist collective called NOH/WAVE. Their bi-monthly events and gallery shows championed a spirit of inclusivity and served as an alternative to the traditional gallery experience.

Ep. 1: Miracle Habits with Mitch Horowitz

In this first episode, I’ll be sharing an interview I did in 2020 with Mitch Horowitz for his book release, The Miracle Habits. During this interview, we discuss the necessity of a Definite Chief Aim, Opposition as a motivational force, the importance of a personal spiritual journey, and parenting by example.
-Josh Hyde 

Mitch Horowtiz is a historian of alternative spirituality, and one of today’s most literate voices of esoterica, mysticism, and the occult. This interview was for the release of his book, The Miracle Habits, available in hardcover, audio, and ebook. 

Since then, Mitch has released many more books, including Uncertain Places, and Modern Occultism, and released a feature-length documentary exploring the mysteries of The Kybalion.
