In this episode, Chad and Jason briefly ruminate on the meaning of Hope Punk, and consider sequels that should have been. 

This episode, Jason and Chad put on their Hyperlab Coats · and concoct their own indeterminacy recipe loosely based on John Cage·s experimental work, Roaratorio, an Irish circus on Finnegans Wake.

Grab your ear goggles and follow along as the crew of HLO explores the minimalist soundscapes of John Cage.   Chad and Jason ponder the joys and challenges of experimental music and avante-garde art as well as learning Chad's hard rules for eating snacks in the theatre (Hint - DON'T!) and Jason's simple wish for a magical algorithmic soundscape generator.  

In this episode of HLO, Chad and Jason pull back the curtain for frank discussion on how the current state of US politics is affecting the direction of the podcast and how embracing a theme of #hopepunk might be a viable way to help us all to navigate our uncertain future.

In this episode, the HLO crew explains their absence and offers a fun John Cage themed teaser to a future episode.

In this episode, Chad and Jason chase psychedelic rabbits through a warren dug by Gregory Bateson, whose article "Mind and Nature" drills heady passages though verbal alchemy, entropy, sacrament, weaponized anthropology, CIA black propaganda ops, Karl Jung, Bob Dobbs, schizogenesis, cybernetics, and the epistemology of dead crabs. Content warning: there is one dark reference to a mass grave of pets who lived their best lives and died of natural causes. This episode was recorded sometime last year.

In this episode, the HLO crew takes a spooky nostalgic detour by inviting some special guests to talk about some fun personal memories of Halloweens past. Enjoy!
