In this episode, Andrew speaks with Noémie Marmara - a multidisciplinary artist, poet, and ceramicist living in the south of France. Together, they explore the emotional, spiritual, and physical properties of clay, art, and the unseen forces that shape both. What begins as a conversation about vessels becomes a meditation on identity, perception, neurodivergence, trauma, and transformation. Noémie shares her personal story with unflinching honesty and poetic insight, revealing how art can emerge from fracture—and why imperfection may be the most powerful form of beauty.

Spotify has kicked a few episodes off the feed - I'm putting them back in. This is one of them...
Ohh man...how fortunate are we to live in the same world as today's guest, Erik Lomen. First of all, I only got to meet Erik because of serendipitous timing, bad weather in Cheyenne, WY, a not-to-be-missed Boston Celtics game, my propensity to arrive early for meals, my preference for eating at the bar, and a chance encounter with Erik's delightful and interesting mom, Marcy. Based solely on her hardly disinterested say-so, I drove to Gardiner Maine to spend the day with one of our new favorite people. Erik is the host of "The Myco Wizards Podcast", and founder and brainchild behind the wildly innovative Maine Cap 'N Stem - a supplier of spore-ready substrate for cultivators of mushrooms from Lion's Mane to Penis Envy. This is NOT a stoner, freaky mushroom weirdo episode...well, it is, but it's also much more. Erik is a deeply thoughtful, battle-tested polymath with a heart of red oak; perfect for taking mycelium to all its favorite places. Tune in for a particularly interesting ride. Share and Enjoy!

Friends and fellow weirdos, I am pleased to present today's guest, Ernie Hubbard. He's a scientist, a businessman, a creative force, a fully enrolled student in the school of the eternally curious, and a total sweetheart. We talked about his upbringing in Marin County and the Sacramento Valley, the 1960s counter-culture, organic farming, his love affair with biology, a near-death experience that brought him closer to God, and much more. Check in with your biofield and give this one a listen. Share and Enjoy!
Ladies and Slime Molds, I present to you the most gracious emissary of Ganymede, Lord Running Clam (aka David Hyde)! Lord Running Clam is a writer, a chronicler, a gatherer of like-minded souls, and a friend of Dickheads everywhere. I met up with LRC via the internet to talk about his life in literature, community organizing, general weirdness, and more. Share and Enjoy!
