PSP Primer

What is The Pink Smoke Podcast? The Pink Smoke podcast is normally hidden behind an unforgiving Patreon paywall, so this "open to the public" episode intends to introduce the show to those who can't otherwise hear it. It'll answer all your pressing concerns: Why the Patreon paywall? How many episodes are there a month? What kind of subjects does it cover? Why is there something instead of nothing? Hosts John Cribbs & Christopher Funderburg answer these questions and then dive into something considerably less drrrryyyyyy: what film/books/albums do they need to survive? The question isn't "what are their favorite artworks?" but "what art do they need just to get through the day and continue on with their existence?" Funderburg & Cribbs each pick six artworks for their "Survival Kit," the answers range from an 18th century picaresque to a 20th century cartoon short - they discuss novels, films, albums and why neither could pick a painting or sculpture for their kit. Join us and get to know The Pink Smoke podcast. It rates highly amongst talking dogs in Jim Thompson novels and old Qfwfq.
