003: Escaping the Maelström with Zac Davis

Zac Davis and I cover a lot of ground bouncing between the death of culture and the rise of faith. Zac is a deeply spiritual person and an amazing experimental noise musician known for his insane number of projects including Lambsbread, Clearance, RFID, and collaborations with artists like James Ferraro, Thurston Moore, and many others.

As always, this is a casual conversation in which we'll most likely misstate things or get some things wrong. Whenever anyone talks about GOD, always be like the Bareans and DYOR.
