We are celebrating 5 years of Consensus Unreality this summer, and we thought it might be good to frame the show once again for people who haven't been keeping up, or have never heard. (Don't worry, if you have been keeping up, its still worth a listen!) We are a podcast first and foremost, although we now have an ongoing print material project on our Patreon which includes our quarterly Journal of Shells and other recorded and printed materials. On the podcast we try to unearth new connections between things esoteric, mythological, occult, highly strange and fringe in cultural nature. In this episode hear us elaborate on some of that process and what we think separates us a bit from the crowd. We'll have more interviews and public episodes streaming soon, but the bulk of our work, strange magickal dabbling, writing and talking- goes down on Patreon.
