FOS hosts La Meme Young on the show to discuss pedagogical memeology, starting a music school on Discord, and the insanity of everything.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Podcast about the Podcast. After we talked about Caveh on our Holiday Special last. month, and then Caveh listened to the episode, and then he talked about the mixed experience he had listening to us talk about him in his public diary later that week, we have finally completed the circle. Caveh joins us to talk about creating, funding, and navigating criticism of his unique brand of self-reflexive filmmaking.

Eric Lennartson uses a cutting-edge programming method and an old analog circuit-testing machine called an oscilloscope to create immersive sound and visual performances that get us thinking about the link between sound and sight, humans and machines.

We decided to get together to record a couple hours of 100% banter. If you're looking for substance, please feel free to skip this one. There is nothing substantial here. Just Nick, Bryan, and Jacob talking about IBS, Caveh Zahedi, crashing our cars to certain types of music, xmas music that isn't explicitly about xmas, the anti-woke film fest, and most importantly a bunch of ZENCASTR TRASHING.

We go behind the scenes of a couple Far Off Sounds docs that were made abroad, solo, without the usual team. First up we go deep into Jacob's episode 'The Disappearing Bamboo Wind" shot in Vietnam, and the second is Nick's "Orkes Keroncong Tugu", shot in Indonesia. We discuss Eminem's new restaurant "Mom's Spaghetti", as well as Pho, garlic, and the domain-name black market.

Nick went to NYC some years back an interviewed Adrian Rew about his field recordings of casinos in the American Midwest. Are they all tuned to "C"? What makes them so hypnotic? Do the sounds make me lose all my money?

I also complain about expensive ramen at the end. I no longer believe that $26 is too much for a bowl of ramen because the entire service industry is fucked
