Summary

This special release is a Patreon extra we’re making available to all listeners, in lieu of the official episode originally scheduled for today. As explained in the introduction, we will be back with a full episode later in the month. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this conversation about how art transforms experience, making the mundane mythic, calling images out of the flux of life, and shaping what is in us to think, feel, and live.

0:00.0	Spectrevision Radio
0:02.0	Welcome to Weird Studies, an arts and philosophy podcast with hosts Phil Ford and J.F. Martel.
0:20.0	For more episodes, or to support the podcast,
0:23.3	go to weirdst. This is J.F. Martel.
0:59.6	In queuing this up, you may have noticed that this episode has a shorter than usual running time,
1:03.6	and that it's unnumbered. A special episode, then.
1:09.1	What you're about to hear is an audio extra that we released recently for the fine folks who support our podcast on Patreon,

1:27.0	I'll spare you the details for the moment.
1:29.3	And all of it, happening together all at once, meant that we couldn't record a new episode
1:34.6	before the Fords left for a well-earned trip overseas. You and I will certainly be hearing
1:40.5	all about that when Phil gets back. At any rate, that's why we're releasing this audio extra today,
1:46.6	and why we won't be bringing you a new official episode of Weird Studies
1:50.8	until June 25th.
1:53.4	A week before that, on June 18th, we'll share another extra
1:57.1	that was previously accessible only to our Patreon supporters.
2:00.8	If you are one of those generous souls, this means another rerun.
2:05.7	Not ideal, but please know that A, I'll be dropping some new material on Patreon just for you
2:11.6	next week, and B, if it weren't for you, gentle patron, weird studies would have stopped
