Split Second + A cozy Thanksgiving between friends

The boys chat about Split Second, depression, Mastodon, gourd innuendos, wordplay, dolmens, hod dogs as amulets, getting ready to die, the comics we loved, colonial butterfly displays, the arrogance of scientism, how information without context is noise, divorce pigeons, animal metaphysics, shit talking Neil Gaiman, Kurt totally gets gas huffing, plus Rev busts out the synth for the intro jingle. Join us on our Mastodon community for animists with Kurt, Rev, & Nightbird Radio's Tim Sailor!

Videodrome w Ghostcheddar + Entertainment & Reality

Owen came on the show to share the good news about the new flesh. We discuss the reality/entertainment matrix, the medium as the message, internet programming reality, one way communication, acting in L.A., the incoming shitstorm of strikes, chatting up Metatron, choice vs synchronicity, and much more. Lots of laughs in this one despite Rev being a feverish snot machine. This was a really fun show. Here's David Bowie saying the internet is an alien: https://youtu.be/YbeXIMhf8sI Join the Soapbox/Nightbird Mastodon community: https://reverendjanglebones.gumroad.com/l/npmia?layout=profile

Mad God w Grant Wamack + Virtues of Grit

In this very special show we talk with author Grant Wamack about Phil Tippett's total masterpiece Mad God, the importance of difficult material, censorship, weed, UFOs, fighting the good fight with storytelling, those magical moments when the trees talk back, and much more. Grant has two new books out this year, because he is a monster, and you should read them both immediately: Black Gypsies: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6HPWNVW/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1 God's Leftovers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1685100597/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i4

The Beastmaster w Matt Stansberry + Keeping Wild Company

Matt is an author, artist, poet, and friend to all woodland creatures. His social feeds are among the most worthwhile posts on the internet, containing creatures he finds along his wanderings both in photograph and in paint. We talk about personhood, feeling out relationships with nonhuman mortals, grace in flow, radical joy, offering art, and more.

NIGHTBOX Swapcast w Tim Sailor + Mythic Arcade

For our 20th episode we hang out with our sister show's host and talk childhood video games, writing letters, merit and kata, old stories, and everything else you can expect to hear when three best bros heat up the mics. Follow Tim's show here and don't forget to donate to either or both of our shows if you appreciate them. We run on love. http://www.nightbirdpodcast.com/

Prometheus w Jack Steiger + St. Cyprian

We talk about Prometheus, St. Cyprian, conspiracies, uberwyrd New England, Lovecraft & King, fear of death, where religion meets animism, and a bunch more stuff. This episode features some of Jacks very special stories of his experiences and subsequent research breakthroughs on the trail of the sorcerer saint. A true honor to host on this one.

St. Cyprian Feast Day Mini-Mass

Just a bonus blessing and uncrossing from the Rev in honor of his patron saint. Listen with focus, throw around some smoke and holy water, light a candle and make the sign of the cross whenever there's a long pause. May you have a very enchanted Cyprianmas.

Nymphomaniac w Marissa Gamberutti + Nuance of Sexuality

We talk with diviner and somatic sex therapist in training Marissa Gamberutti about sex and intimacy; the psychology and metaphysics therein, how they can relate to preferences & kinks, the practice of being a-monogamous, the omniscience of Clippy, the strange male obsession with duration, being othered, being humanized, pedophiles and more. As mentioned, we get neck deep in murky waters at points in this one, but we cope with dick jokes and shit.

Labyrinth w Annicat + Equanimity & New Traditions

One of the most magical movies. A cute horror film. The kinder hero's journey. Glitter. A densely embedded backstory. David Fucking Bowie. Unnecessary apologies. Fairy Kings & dangerous hot guys. Growing out of your parents. Raising magical children. New ancestral traditions. New lineage magics. Classic Doctor Who. The sad fate of the real Dobby. The obvious origins of Hogwarts. And much, much more. Ann is not a public person so this was a real treat to get to show off how great one of our best friends really is. You're welcome!

Fargo S1 w Darragh Mason + The Devil as Teacher

We were absolutely thrilled to hang out with our magical podfather from Spirit Box and talk about the first season of Fargo, the Dark Man, initiations, podcasting, photography, recognition, taking ourselves too seriously in the magic world, djinn tales, and so much more. Darragh really brought the feeling of sharing a pint with your wizard mates to this one, as he does to every episode of Spirit Box, and it was truly a blast.
