    Making Bad Art with Josh Burke | 027

    Josh Burke (he/him) is an artist, a voice acting enthusiast, an explainer of video games (to me), and an ocean floor mapping master's student. I've also been meaning to record an episode with him since this podcast started... in 2021.  In this episode: learning to love voice acting, narrative video games, keeping track of quotes, taking a long time to set up a microphone, falling into a master's program, and the ocean as a big soup.  @joshtheburke Curiouser & Curiouser: @theextraordinarypod https://www.theextraordinarypod.com/ https://www.patreon.com/c/juliannerichard Until next time, stay brilliant & stay curious!

    Hannah Haynes-Macdonald (she/her) is a researcher, MSc student, avid concert-goer, and one of the kindest people that I know; I'm so excited that she agreed to come on the podcast and chat about her thesis project and her love of live music.  In this episode: nitrogen, tree cores, frisky fish, Maggie Rogers' master's degree, Troye Sivan, feeling music in your body, contentedness, and albums as poetry.

    Understanding to Death with Jason McIntyre | 023

    Jason McIntyre is an emerging artist, improviser, comedian, and very wise friend of mine. I’ve been meaning to have him on the podcast for literal years, so I figured we’d start season two off with the first EVER episode of the podcast to break an hour!  In this episode: what makes something funny, knowing which notes to take, edgy comedy, whipping out Socrates, morbid curiosity, the Münster rebellion, and bouillon cubes.
