Another trashy midnight reads (almost like I never left) to fall asleep to like a psychopath. This girl is on the run from a man who disappointed her (probably) just to find the "real men" who do construction - oh dear.By KYR

I'm back after a half a year and ready to start this creative thing all over again. Let's get to work.

On this episode of the podcast we get into a good idea I learned from the author, Simon Sinek. What follows is a discussion of the movie 'Insomnia' one of Christopher Nolan's first which followed the wildly successful 'Memento. Featuring an excellent performance from Al Pacino and Robin Williams it is without question a fantastic film. Then, we end…

From swimming with dolphins to a dicussion of corporate evil. The interstice podcast will not subject itself to things like being beholden to one particular range of topics.

Ever in search of the most light-hearted topics for the podcast this episode I chose to focus on the most cheery of all, death. Not only that of course, human evolution found its way in there as well. Finally we get into a discussion of what it takes growing older to avoid become embittered or left behind by life. You know, fun stuff.…

I ran a social experiment on myself using a companion ai app. The results were very interesting. It will be a fascinating thing to see how ai companions and the relationships they have with us meat bags evolve over the next decade. If you thought life was weird now, just you wait. Other than that we go hard on the nerd discussion, touching on a gre…

Moving to two episodes a week we have our first guest in some time. Jason Mcnamar is an accomplished texture artist and modeler who's work can be found in both summer blockbusters and netflix originals. He is currently living in Japan and took the time to share his life story with us and insights on his industry.…

#davetrippin #theinterstice #podcast It's official we are moving to two episodes a week for the podcast. And we've got a lot to talk about in this one. It has now been three weeks since finally giving the full productive effort to creating the amount of content that I feel fits the standard necessary to grow and do this who creative thing full time…

After so much time away I finally got back to Tokyo. I think it's been over two years actually but there I was back in the ol.. I don't know if there's a nickname for it. I got a chance to meet up with a subscriber who's become a good friend over the years. His story was amazing. For anyone who is determined to carve their own path through life he …

Hormesis and Post Traumatic Growth, these are nearly completely new terms to me and they're both great for considering the idea of healthy stress. That's our opener for this episode but then we get into some juicy history details. I saw a clip on reddit of soldiers who had shell shock and it made me think of warfare and its evolving impact on us an…

Let's get to it EP.59. We are a little leaner this epsiode. For whatever reason I had a few less things to discuss. Perhaps a sign I need to crank up the adventure in my life. No biggy. I'll do it. That doesn't mean though what is here was not worth the talk. I have been reading and I have been watching a lot of great media recently which informed …

Joseph Keating is a fascinating man. Managing to develop a skill-set that expresses both his understanding of technical fields alongside the artistic is no simple task. We dicuss the kind of thinking that goes into creating the inside of retail stores as well as a his philosophy with it is for himself as opposed to a client. This was a good one. It…

I'd never been to anywhere in Japan more south than Kobe until very recently. I finally got a chance to go to Hiroshima for the purpose of filming a wakeboarding tournament taking place there. Come August our studio is filming a major tournament in Kyushu so this was a great opportunity to see what the realities on the ground were for filming this …

Alan is a friend who I've met since moving to Kyoto. This man has skill. When you look at his body of work it is self evident. Crisply composed and tuned to some of the best colouring you've ever seen, Alan is a pure pro. I particulary enjoyed in the course of our conversation getting into how Alan described his style having a melancholic quality t…

Adam and I grew up together on Vancouver Island. It has been incredible to reconnect with him and discuss the absolutely mad path that he has taken through life. Like myself he was bit with the desire to seek out new horizons but where my path took my to Japan, his took him all over the world. There is so much to Adam's story that we cannot nearly …

Today's guest is James Palmer an old friend and mechanical engineer. He'll joined me to talk about mostly anything but then we ended up staying on the topic of education for quite some time. It will be fascinating to see how these systems develop going into the future as the freedom to information and education continues to grow.…

Teacher, student, creator, are these the elements which make up a fully actualized human being? In this episode I do my best to argue for that fact. Recently I saw a quite touching clip on instagram taken from a Louis CK's show and it was talking about love. I offer a few thoughts on that. Then we move into a discussion of deep fake technology and …

Went all out on this episode and actually for once made a list of topics to work through. I like to dabble in books as a topic but it's often fun to make sure I try and get outside of that box. For that reason we go all over the place. Perhaps hitting the most meta discussion of all, what other podcasts have taught me. One Dr in particular is of gr…

We return. We get back up. We are on the horse. In the return of the podcast now heading towards the coveted 100 episodes we've got a few interesting topics. I had somehow avoided reading and any of Haruki Murakami's books, that was, until now. I have completed "Hard Boiled Wonderland And the End Of the World" it was great and ever a testament to n…

Some years ago Caden reached out and offered to help me with my Youtube channel. He's since then done an immeasurable amount of helpful work for me and I'm forever in his debt for that. It was a pleasure to have him on the podcast to discuss a few things. Surprisingly social anxiety ended up being a large part of the conversation.…

We've quite a range of topics to discuss in this video. More projects have come to Garden Lab recently which I'm excited to share. I went to a live orchestra for the first time in my life (to listen to Fantasia no less). I recently completed the series 'Arcane' on Netflix and it was amazing and worth discussing for its narrative strengths and final…

A true Midnight Reading to help any of you struggling to fall asleep tonight. Tonight's read showcases a chasing scene in a 1000 year old museum with human against fake humans (?

Take a trip down Coney Island filled with the occult and mysteries. We start with Chap. 20 and I have no idea what's going on. I don't think I picked the scariest chapter, but apparently this book is good? Music by leela kakaki & mark forest & Broke For FreeBy KYR

A funny, charming horror book recommendation with a good-hearted main character trying to help out ghosts that he accidentally hurts. It also includes a light gay romance and is overall a great easy story to read. Excuse my bad reading of names. If you know Chinese be sure to support the official work.…

A legit well-written exploration of the darkness of humanity within the existence of mythologic evils. A short story. Light a candle. Snuggle into the darkness.By KYR

Rating (from a scaredy cat): More scary than trashy. For anyone who likes the intersection of horror and grey morality, this is an actual book recommendation. Check out the original if you know Chinese. Music by ipsyduckkBy KYR

Scary month long trashy midnight reads, starting strong with the trashy part and the vampire$$$ (seriously). A blast from the past with this 1990 classic I never knew about, and I'm not sure I respect, especially after reading the book synopsis, but let's get try to get spooky. Music by ispyduckk & alexcardozomusic…
