    FROM THE ARCHIVE: A Conversation w/ "Sparkwood and 21: A Twin Peaks Podcast" (Part 2)

    Episode Notes SPOILERS FOR TWIN PEAKS In early 2016, I was hosted by Em and Steve of the Sparkwood and 21 podcast, which had just finished its run through the original seasons and film of Twin Peaks. We talked about my online and filmmaking work along with other subjects. Eventually the podcast would continue by covering Twin Peaks: The Return; it was part of a larger set of podcasts hosted by Em and Steve under the banner No Ship Network. Unfortunately, these episodes no longer appear to be available anywhere online. Fortunately, I was able to receive a file of the original recording and I've now uploaded it to this feed in a couple parts since it was too long in its initial, 3-hour form for me to upload as one episode. Em and Steve also appeared on my own podcasts a couple times, including... ...on this feed for Holy Smoke: https://www.lostinthemovies.com/2022/02/holy-smoke-w-guests-em-steve-of-no-ship.html ...on Lost in Twin Peaks for Season 3 Part 8: https://www.lostinthemovies.com/2022/07/lost-in-twin-peaks-37-season-3-part-8.html You can follow the rest of my work on https://www.lostinthemovies.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
