This final podcast of our first R8B episode for Feral is chock full of synchronicities we may not fully understand until we hear Dino’s X-mas record, if then even.
One thing I didn’t mention in the podcast but strikes me now is that Dino and Starburns made a reputation for themselves with their stop motion animation (Moral Oral, Anomalisa) so the idea of dashboard figurines coming to life has a deep sync with the new home of Radio8Ball at Starburns’ studios in Burbank.
I suspect as the show evolves we will find ourselves looking back to these rough and tumble first episodes and recognizing some very revealing synchronicities, but right now this is all I’ve got.
