Happy spooky season, listeners. To kick off the final stretch of season 3, Adam and Cole bring to the table just the dose of infectiously joyful, confident femme-dom energy in the form of iconic performer and producer, Siouxsie Q! Siouxsie is a captivating storyteller, sharing about growing up in the Bay Area and being drawn to the abundance of freak flags in San Francisco before starting out as a peep show performer. This led to many kinds of work within the adult work arena, securing on-camera appearances and eventually becoming a creator behind the scenes for a variety of studios. Grab a pen and paper, because Siouxsie brings to this discussion so many avenues of learning about how to queer desire, the beauty of fluidity in sex and romance, the capitalist perspective of adult film work, and how to utilize it to your leftist advantage, bringing a personal aesthetic to the industry (she refers to her own as Bjork Swan Dress Energy), the many types of scenes she's had a hand in bringing to the public, and how an unexpected romance developed into the most unconventional and rewarding personal as well as professional relationship with creator, Michael Vegas. We absolutely love Siouxsie, and you will too!

In this episode, we rock out with a Bay Area band who takes public performance and the idea of moving to music to a whole new level. Today, we're checking out the DIY punk scene. Then, we hear why 10 out the 12 members left college footballs' Pacific Athletic Conference. What led to the PAC-12's sudden demise?

With their trademark wit and irreverent humor, the Cool Guys™ bring a fresh and entertaining perspective to the table, keeping you engaged from start to finish.

It's return of the (heart attack) mack. With their third full-length release, Freak of Nature propels the Cleveland, OH natives into a world voilent and void of all emotion. The boys wrestle through what is potentially high art. With bangers like "Stick Up" and "C4" it's hard not to let your incel out a little bit. Rolling Stone said of this episode, "the line between crazy and sane just became a little blurrier."

The Miracle Basket is the perfect example for why you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover as it's a really well-told story behind what director Abner Preis calls a DIY Punk aesthetic that he describes as looking like it may have been drawn by a child. There are some 3D models in his piece, but there are a whole lot more 2D images that are collaged throughout a space in order to create a 2.5D experience that still manages to create a sense of place. The story moves from being connected to community and nature into a more disassociated place of pop culture spectacle and party, but in a way that is not in right relationship to the earth. We're left to clean up the mess and to try to find our center again by planting seeds. There are catchy songs that bookend the experience, and overall it's a really polished experience with a story that stuck with me. Preis is able to create a communal sense of ritual and belonging with this low-fi punk aesthetic, and it's a really good reminder that not every experience has to have the same polished look and feel. Preis' piece brings a much appreciated DIY and punk attitude that serves to democratize the medium and make it feel a lot more accessible for folks to tell immersive stories that might otherwise be too intimidated by the 3D pipeline of modern game engines. Definitely try to catch this piece as hopefully it'll become more widely available at some point as it's festival run is coming to an end, and tune into our conversation as he unpacks his journey into creating immersive stories like The Miracle Basket.
