Burnett aka The Preppy Witch wants you to wear yours like a blazer and a bow tie.In this episode, we step into the strange, stylish world of writer, illustrator, antique enthusiast, and modern mystic Z.G.

Z.G. explains how old beliefs survive in the strangest places: family recipes, jewelry boxes, childhood memories, vintage gravestones, and the objects we inherit without fully understanding.This conversation is for skeptics, seekers, collectors, spell-casters, and anyone who suspects the attic knows more than it’s saying.We talk about why the word “witch” has transformed from accusation to badge of honor, how to safely begin exploring witchcraft, and why staying curious might be the most powerful spell of all.Hit play. You may not leave with a broomstick, but you might start looking at your house, your heirlooms, and your own weird instincts a little differently.Static & Dust: where the weird stuff survives.#StaticAndDust #ThePreppyWitch #ZGBurnett #PreppyWitch #WitchTok #FolkMagic #HauntedHistory #ModernMysticism #AntiqueHauntings #SalemWitchTrials #Witchcraft #WeirdHistory #Mysticism #OccultHistory #WhereTheWeirdStuffSurvives

    Episode 8 : Civilization Has Left the Chat

    This episode of Static & Dust starts with spirit animals, collector weirdness, and a screwdriver that somehow became the Holy Grail for people who absolutely need to go outside more.But as usual, the conversation takes a hard left into something bigger.After a bizarre coffee shop encounter, Jeremy and Dave dig into the strange rules of modern life: everyone sees the problem, everyone smells the problem, but nobody is supposed to say anything about the problem. From corporate cowardice to social media pile-ons, public disorder, outrage culture, hypocrisy, and the fear of speaking honestly, this episode is about the moment you stop whispering and finally say it out loud. The message is simple: **we’re not afraid anymore.**Not afraid to ask questions. Not afraid to laugh at the absurdity. Not afraid to disagree. Not afraid to say common sense still matters.It’s comedy, frustration, coffee shop chaos, and two friends trying to stay human in a world that keeps demanding everyone act like a malfunctioning algorithm.**Static & Dust:** real talk, dark humor, weird stories, and the occasional potbelly pig spirit animal.**Hashtags:**#StaticAndDust#ComedyPodcast#RealTalkPodcast#OutrageCulture#WeirdAmerica

    Episode 6 : Hollywood Fever Dreams

    On this episode of Static & Dust, we sit down with filmmaker and actor Joseph Poliquin, also known from Five Nights at Freddy’s, for a conversation full of the kind of behind-the-scenes chaos you truly cannot invent. From Tom Hanks giving him a nickname to bizarre Hollywood moments that sound like they came out of a lost screenplay, Joseph has stories. We get into the weirdness of the business, the awkwardness, the ego, the hustle, and one especially sharp encounter with Stephen Graham that brings just the right amount of bite. And yes, we had to bring up Mr. Cupcake. Any actor who survives the world of Five Nights at Freddy’s and still comes out funny and self-aware is doing something right. We also roll into Skate to Hell, starring Joseph, because a title like that was never getting past Static & Dust without a discussion. It is exactly the kind of cult-title madness we love. Under all the insanity, this episode is really about film, the chaos of the industry, genre storytelling, and taking your shot before it passes you by. We also talk about Joseph’s upcoming project, Death Cabs, a thriller-comedy set for 2027. Watch the full episode at the link in bio. Drop a 🎢 if you like your Hollywood stories weird. https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/staticanddust https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/josephpoliquin https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/fivenightsatfreddys https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/skatetohell https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/hollywoodstories

    Episode 5 : Black Eyeliner at the YMCA (2000s Emo)

    Back when the 2000s scene was all black eyeliner, burned CDs, YMCA shows, and promoters running on fumes, the chaos felt real. In this episode, Jeremy and Dave sit down with Tony, former touring musician and now a hilarious millennial nostalgia creator, to talk about the wild world behind the emo, punk, and DIY scene. They get into the weird promoters of the 2000s, broke bands, underground venues, Hot Topic’s rise from outsider uniform to mall-approved identity, and the weird way social media is rewriting scene history. From “sellout” debates to elder emo cosplay, this is a funny, sharp, and nostalgic look at what was real, what was ridiculous, and what somehow still matters. If you ever snuck into a show, bought a studded belt at the mall, or argued about Green Day, this one’s for you. #StaticAndDust #EmoNostalgia #2000sScene #2000smusic #2000smusicscene

    Episode 3 : Al Fatigue: The End, Again...

    A.l fatigue is real. Jeremy and Dave dig into burnout, culture, shortcut creativity, and why everything suddenly feels fast, hollow, and machine-made. From real craft vs. digital sludge to political theater. Encounters with Marilyn Manson in an antique mall, and a truly insane cop story-this one is about authenticity in an age of knockoffs. Funny, skeptical, and slightly off the rails.
