Painter Juliana Plexxo joins Ron and West for a vivid, wide-ranging conversation about artistic purpose, bullfighting, femininity, and the surreal magic of being in New York City. Born in Colombia, shaped by time in Ecuador and Spain, and trained in the legendary Studio 46—home to Miró, Chagall, and Dalí—Juliana shares how masks, memory, and mourning led her to art.

They talk about the mystical pull of the bull, feminine rage, masculine ritual, copper plates, and the ghosts that live in pigment and paper. It's part travelogue, part artist’s manifesto, and part spiritual download—all soaked in jet lag, beauty, and the chaos of trying to make something true.

Also in this episode: dead laptops, acid baths, gender dualism, and Ron getting dragged (again).

In this wide-ranging and wildly entertaining episode, Ron reconnects with his longtime friend Michael Penhallow to trace a life-spanning friendship that begins on an Israeli kibbutz in 1981 and winds through banana fields, desert hitchhiking, heartbreak, art, and everything in between.

From feeding attack dogs and dodging machine guns to discovering poetry, collecting German expressionism, and getting held at gunpoint (multiple times), this is a story about the strange alchemy of friendship—how two wildly different lives can crash together, split apart, and circle back again.

Also: the world's best beer, a possibly illegal camel, and a few near-death moments courtesy of the American highway.

In this debut episode, Ron Silver and West Moss sit down with publisher and filmmaker Hamilton Fish for a wide-ranging conversation on what it means to live, and create, through crisis. From early documentaries about Holocaust memory and U.S. complicity to the perils of the current political landscape, Fish reflects on art as resistance, community as a lifeline, and why dissent might be our last great hope.

Also on the table: ketamine pancakes, Cannes disasters, family bridges, and the strange comfort of chaos.
