Mysteries, Graveyards and the Human Psyche

Mysteries, Graveyards and the Human Psyche

The idea to start this podcast came from three different poles, and each one gave me a little shock of inspiration. The first initiating element was finding myself booked in a hotel that turned out to be haunted. This made me extremely receptive to and interested by people's lived experiences of liminality. How do you cope with something that you know is not supposed to be happening? The next lightning strike was a chart reading from my astrologer Sindy Schönherr. She validated something that I have always felt- I am very comfortable exploring "mysteries, graveyards and the human psyche" and would be a good guide for people who normally do not find themselves in those realms. Hence, the title of this podcast was conceived. The third ingredient came when my friend Karen Frazer approached me and told me that she wanted to get the word out about protecting headstones and burial grounds. My resolution to give my friend a platform was what caused this podcast to be born. So you see, it took ghosts, an astrologer and a cemetery guardian to get this thing going. Hope you enjoy it.

Although Mayra writes fiction and Jon writes (and illustrates)comic books, both have a lot in common. Both are effortlessly original thinkers. Both are extremely good conversationalists. I knew that if I could get these two open-minded, witty freethinkers together, it would be an exhilarating experience for you too. Listen as they speak about how writers don't really enjoy writing, daydreaming, cave paintings, and the qualities of ...

Today I have the privilege of sharing this conversation between me and two of the chillest guys in the world, musicians Jerry Joseph and Leech Ernowetz. They share similar backstories. This is probably the reason why I wanted to get them together and record their conversation. Both started playing guitar at a young age and both are largely self-taught. Both played in multiple bands throughout their youth across a multitude of genre...
