In this week's episode of Are You There, Ghost? It's Me, Chiwan, we have artist, composer, performer Jasmine Orpilla, and we talk about her process of bringing objects into her work, objects that carry the spirits and history of her ancestors, and how that impacts her performance and those around her. Plus walking in Paris above the catacombs when you are a medium. It's not what you'd imagine.

In this week's episode of Are You There, Ghost? It's Me, Chiwan, we welcome writer and artist W.B. Clark. We talk about a fateful trip to visit her cousin in Los Angeles, where a Akashic Record Reader foretold of the book she would years later go on to write and illustrate, A Thousand Short Lives, and how that experience has inspired her to become a reader herself of the Akashic Record — a recording of all universal things to have occurred in the past, present, and future, and how she opens them up to help others and her own artistic practice.

We discuss the legacy of women in the area, the violent history of life in that area, and the ghosts that roam the town—its homes, its museums, its streets—that has been literally built on so much blood soaked land.
