Talking Creativity and Place | Zola Jesus Jul 17, 2019

Show notes

This week, we welcome to the show, producer singer songwriter, Nika Danilova, aka Zola Jesus.

Nika has released five albums over the last decade or so and in 2017 moved back onto family land in Wisconsin and built a cabin in the woods. She also played Dark Mofo down here in Tasmania last year so we have some overlaps or similarities that led to a really fruitful discussion about creativity and place in a post-materialist context.

We also talk cities as habitats, structured and unstructured creation, and the role of visual presentation. Excellent stuff!

Spirit Contact is Easy | Solo Show May 26, 2019

Show notes

Slight delay to this week's episode, for reasons that are explained in it.

But this week, we explore the potentially contentious statement that spirit contact is, in fact, easy.

These solo shows are in danger of becoming an accidental series.

Note: I'm travelling for the next month so new episodes and blog posts may be less reliable. Check me out on Twitter or check out the Rune Soup Facebook page for more details or last minute updates.

Talking Talismanic Magic | Kaitlin Coppock May 15, 2019

Show notes

This week, we are speaking with my good friend, Kaitlin Coppock.

Kaitlin is the owner of Sphere and Sundry, an online-store-meets-ritual-art-project dedicated to expertly elected talismanic materia.

So of course, we talk talismans, as well as how or why they might work, in addition to astrology in general, while sharing a few thoughts on its current moment of cultural prominence.

Great stuff!

This week, in what is probably one of my favourite ever episodes, we welcome to the show Elizabeth Krohn.

Elizabeth, along with Dr Jeff Kripal, is the author of Changed in a Flash, which is the story of her being struck by lightning, dying and returning from the afterlife very much changed.

A truly fascinating discussion. Enjoy.
