Poets, Mavericks & Prophets

Lola & The Poets podcast is a virtual alchemical workshop exploring personal and collective magical journeys, the ways the mystical & the mundane are intertwined. Psychology, culture, art, alchemy. Solo shows & interviews. Out every odd Thursday. Hosted by Milana Vujkov.

In Episode 3, I’m back with the podcast after an unplanned six month interval, in a solo show about the concept of the shadow, both individual and collective, one of three shows I plan on this topic. Here I talk about my overall impressions of the past several months, the shadow realm in the times of a pandemic, ideas of infectious narratives through a personal theoretical prism, and recall two stories from my own shadows that dipped into the collective – a grim therapeutic regression from the mid-90s which seemed to have immersed me in an Atlantean, antediluvian land, and a slightly more lighthearted macabre dream I had a decade ago about a kooky post-apocalyptic transhumanist future. (48 mins)

SHOW NOTES: Film, the Alchemical Medium

My plan is to have an episode out every odd Thursday, hopefully once a month, which means that it will drop whenever there’s something to say, or a guest to talk to – but the day of the week will always be the same.

Please follow this blog for notifications, or visit Lola & The Poets YouTube channel, if it is your preferred way to subscribe.
