What secret temple to apotropaic magic dwells deep inside in the heart of suburbia?

It's Vanadu Art House! This week we journey to an arts-installation meets attraction that doubles as a home in an otherwise regular neighborhood; filled with found object statues and art cars that resemble an aesthetic mix of steampunk, woodstock, and Ghostbusters.

Joining us on our trip, and visiting from Scotland, is history lecturer ANDREW JOHNSTONE-DIDYMUS (or "J-Stone" for short)! Jason and J-Stone talk about who is more likely to get captured and turned into a walrus by a stranger, building structures to ward off the residue of trauma, and the Evil Eye. We also had the honor and privilege of meeting and talking to CLARKE BEDFORD, the artist behind the house, and learn how being diagnosed with leukemia has or hasn't changed his perspective on life, art, and death. It's a remarkably on theme episode this week.

Is Vanadu Art House something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!
