Mac and JoJo bid farewell to Neon Shrines by failing to remember to hit the record button in the studio. So, the first 20 min. are lost, which really annoyed Mac because "we were cookin!" Yeah, we were cooking, but we continued to cook throughout the whole show.
Despite losing the first 45 minutes to a technical error, this episode still brings the heat. We discourse on the spiritual value of monuments, talk about the burning of Notre Dame, and what it means to overcome the human element in our own selves.

Neon ShrinesEpisode 65: A Very Short Introduction to the Collective Unconscious (ft. Panther, Mac, Zyzal)
We packed the studio with experts to discuss (and dissect) the concept of a collective unconscious. The conversation goes off the rails so far that we found ourselves on a different path entirely. Perfecto!

Neon ShrinesEpisode 64: Pilgrims, Pilgrimage... And the Road but Myself Towards Myself
Special +4 hour Neon Shrines dive into stack of books both sublime slime & offense against the senses. We memorize a great line of poetry by Blake, and then talk long about power spots, William S Burroughs' essay on Sacred Places, and then fall into Shakespeare's most memorable lines.

Alone in the studio Stella decides to rock out to a music-heavy show. She also opines about the virtues of Fiona Apple and her relevance to pilgrimage.
