Welcome to Cosmic Clowns, a podcast about exploring consciousness, surviving chaos, and finding the comedy in it all. In this episode, we share cultural experiences that moved us in 2025. We don’t need to tell you that this year has been RUFF. And, of course, we know every one of us also found moments of joy, inspiration and love in the midst of this mayhem. Today, we each offer three things—including art, film, a podcast, reporting, and live experiences—that helped us thrive in 2025. As Jocelyn mentions at the top of the episode, the etymology of the word culture means to care for the Earth. We hope our cultural sharing brings you some end of year care, connection, and comedy. Here are the links to a few of the things that moved us this year:Jack Whitten: The Messenger at the MOMASoundtrack to a Coup d’EtatThe Telepathy TapesReal Men Don’t Drink MatchaJohn Beaulieu, BiosonicsThe Sound of Music Sing-a-Long--------------------------------------------Thank you for being here, we value your presence.
