Episode #39: Dorian Wood
is a musician, vocalist, and experimental performer. Much of Wood’s music and performance is an intensely visceral celebration and embrace of the body, often his own, which he fearlessly exposes while rendering gorgeous and virtuosic melodies. The effect is a powerful and intimate expression of his singular beauty that simultaneously reveals the more universal beauty of each of us as individuals. Pinkmountain and Wood discuss the impact of the election on a personal level and Wood’s reluctance to directly address political matters through his creative work. Wood points out bluntly that as a self-identified “overweight, queer person of color,” b...

THC #13 #13
This week, on The History Channeler, it's a classic case of will they/won't they, should they/could they, how would they/would it be legal in Arkansas if so. Passions run hot in this tropical setting as the clock runs out on those of whom which we find the most diverting pleasure to passively observe. This is must-feel podcasting as its sublimest. (CKO back on top!)

THC #8 The Internet
Do you ever just feel kinda so-so? How about sometimes when it's dusk on a Sunday night and you're listening to Dr. Demento in the backseat on the way home when all you've got waiting for you is a dinner of leftovers and your unfinished math homework? Or you have to give a report on a book you haven't even taken out of the library, let alone read. Or the squirt-gun you tucked into your belt has leaked all over your crotch, again. Or right before the chiropractor administers general anesthesia? Well, the internet! (cko rools)
