Episode 145 – Occultism, ASMR, anhedonia, and my body as a Ford Pinto

Posted on by

Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds, and topic of podcasts. Hey guys! It’s me, Alexx! And I’m back to my podcast glory with this episode of high strangeness. I manage to teach you the secrets of occultism; talk about HBO’s True Detective; debate myself about ASMR; decide that I’ve incarnated into a Ford Pinto; and much, much more! Also a special guest appearance by @thomasKayll and my terrible Buffalo Bill impression. Enjoy!
