    Ep 5: The Secret Life of NBA Mascots with Eve Peyser
    27 Oct 2026

    Mascots have become a quintessential part of most NBA arena experiences— but who are the mysterious people behind the oversized suits? And why do they choose the anonymous mascot life? Intrepid culture reporter Eve Peyser dove deep into mascot lore and even shadowed an NBA mascot to get some answers… And what she found has more profundity than you’d ever expect.

  • Ep 3: Art, Philosophy and the Lakers with Flea

    Ep 3: Art, Philosophy and the Lakers with Flea
    13 Oct 2026

    Multi-talented musician Flea (whose new solo album of jazz trumpet music, Honora, is out now), is obviously most famous for his work as the bassist for multi-time platinum, Grammy award winning band Red Hot Chili Peppers. But he’s also one of the most ubiquitous basketball fans on the planet, often found courtside as a true ride-or-die Laker fan. In a fascinating and wide-reaching conversation, he talks to host Claire de Lune about everything from Kobe Bryant to the flow state.
