Episode 2023-50: Helios, Flamingosis & The Kount and more

December 11, 2023 Podcast
A bright sunset is illuminated on a mostly cloudy sky, with hues of orange and yellow. Parts of the clouds are dark blue. In the foreground, on the lower-third, is a building and some deciduous trees with no leaves, and a sole evergreen tree. There is also a cabin the the foreground. The foreground is shown as mostly an outline, as the sun is not providing light on that area.

Episode 2023-38: Birocratic & G Mills, Peter Bark, Lifeformed and more

September 18, 2023 Podcast
There is a tall green cactus in the foreground that loosely resembles a set of organ pipes, with some brown, yellow and green underbrush. The landscape is a desert, with a tall, quickly rising mountain in the not-too-far background. There is little to no vegetation on the mountain. The sky is blue with two white, fluffy clouds.
