Rainbow Brainskull Hour

Andrea Allan is a comedian based in New York. She hosts the Hot Mess Comedy Hour with Emily Lubin and is a regular guest on Keith and the Girl. We talk about SEX, ALCOHOL, ADDICTION, being Canadian, and the importance of honesty and authenticity in today’s world. And in all worlds for all-of-time, but ESPECIALLY in today’s world. Why do our brains do what they do? How do we control compulsive behavior or at least accept ourselves when we can’t? Embrace your hot messness. Listen to Andrea and become FREE. Thank you Keith and Chemda for introducing us and making this happen.

David Huntsberger is a comedian, cartoonist, podcaster, and maker of many things. He is the only person I know who owns an anvil. He has a shed where he records his podcast, Space Cave, and makes belts and prints and all kinds of other stuff. He used to put horshoes on horses professionally too, I believe. Part space-cadet, part real-world-tacticle maker-man. Dave is one of my favorite people to talk about reality with. He has a wonderful way of personifying everything from individual water molecules to Mother Earth herself.

Michael Garfield is the host of my current favorite podcast, FUTURE FOSSILS. It's such a trip, I don't even know how to describe it. It is filled with the most enriching discussions about art, music, technology, science, the future, and how they are all mixing together. There's not a single weak episode so I tell everyone to just pick an episode at random and it'll be good. Michael is a paleontologist, musician, artist, author, and a great interview. He's the first remote episode I've ever taped. I used to be worried about sound quality, but some of my favorite episodes of FUTURE FOSSILS have terrible sound quality and I didn't even care cause the convos were just that good. Enjoy this episode and check out http://www.michaelgarfieldart.com to go down the Michael Garfield rabbit hole.
