    S.2 Ep. 3 Art is the Way Through w. Zoelle Nagib

    On this episode of Neon Nonsense, we welcome our friend, artist, and all around cool person Zoelle Nagib. Zoelle was raised on neon. She grew up in her family's neon shop (LightWriters Neon) and spent much of her life exploring many artistic mediums. Art sustained her and eventually brought her back to neon in 2020. Now she's building something new and special in Chicago. Tune in for her beautiful story, a little astrology and hope for the future of Chicago neon.

    Ep.14 Live Laugh Lava w. Jacob Fishkow

    Welcome back! In this episode we have the pleasure of interviewing Jacob Fishcow of Ozone Gifts, a lava lamp extraordinaire who has been fascinated with these mesmerizing light fixtures since a young age. Jacob shared with us his insights on the lava lamp community, history, as well as his work of crafting completely unique lava lamps. Lava lamps have been a cultural icon for over 50 years, rising and falling in popularity throughout the decades just like neon. We hope you enjoy.

    Ep. 13 Be My (Neon) Valentine w/ Amy Zachariah & Bill Horwood

    Happy Valentine's Day Neon Nonsensers! We're celebrating the Hallmark holiday with our crush, Neon Valentine! Amy Zachariah and Bill Horwood are learning to make neon in the UK. We talk through their journey from musicians to neon makers, their experience trying to find a space to set up shop and one of their largest barriers to entry - a genuine lack of professionals to teach new neon folks in the UK. We're so proud they're sticking with it and keeping the neon torch lit across the pond!

    Ep 12. Viva Las Vegas w. Ash Melendez

    Neon Nonsense does VEGAS!!!! DJ and Alleson met in Las Vegas for an adventure a few months back. We reunited at the Neon Boneyard where we met our amazing tour guide and new bud Ash Melendez. They gave us our most favorite tour of the Boneyard to date and so we invited them to join us to talk all things neon. Ash is a terrific historian, podcast guest, new parent and general human! We invite you to enjoy some amazing neon knowledge from Ash and a bit about our ridiculous neon escapades in Sin City.

    Ep. 11 Lights, Camera, Poo Poo w. Nick McKnight

    Welcome to the new and improved Neon Nonsense. We finally figured out our microphones and nailed down a respectable intro. Sampled from this cool video here: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhv_6tg71bc) But more importantly we had the oppertunity to sit down with our good friend and fellow guild member Nick McKnight to shoot the poo poo. Nick is a neon bender in Providence Rhode Island. He makes killer neon signs for the silver screen and gallery walls alike and we are very excited to chat with him. https://www.instagram.com/nick_mcknight/ https://nickmcknight.com/home.html

    EP. 10 "I've always been a science guy" w/ Mike Poulton

    We have been a little quite for the past few months over hear in the Neon Nonsense neighborhood. We were shocked and heart broken to learn that a few short weeks after our interveiw with Mike, he passed suddenly. We first met Mike the day before the GAS conference in Tacoma and immediatly upon our first interaction, he re-wired Alleson's old bombarding equipment and threw so much techincal knowledge as us....we knew he was probably one of the most brilliant people we've ever met. Mike loved to teach and loved neon so that is what this episode is, a memorial to the memory of an amazing teacher and a one of a kind neon buddy. Rest In Peace Mike
