"Hear here all the most salacious interviews from the world of the chaotic, the synchronotic, the semiotic, and the occultic on OCCULTERATI."


 



O)cculterati E-1, a free-to-syndicate online-radio release from Brenico Media, produced in association with Esozone, ran sixteen episodes (and one special live show), originally playing on a biweekly schedule between October 2006 and May 2007. The show took the form of a two-to-three person discussion panel, usually featuring guests and presenters for Esozone 2007, with moderators Wes Unruh and Brandon Sampsin presenting the topics and posing questions.

 



O)cculterati E-2 is... slightly more difficult to explain, as are all projects that Andrew McFing finds himself associated with.

Episode 4. Title: "interface" On this episode of Occulterati, Wes Unruh interviews cyberpunk author William Gibson about his novel Pattern Recognition, advertising, and storytelling.

"That's always been where I am writing from, I've always known that I wasn't writing about the future, that I was writing, looking at the present and transmogrifying it in some way, and exporting it through a sort of veil of faux-futurity. Where people might otherwise be too frightened to look at the present would be able to receive it as a sort of plaything and examine it from a different angle."

Episode 17. Title: "LIVE!" As the fulfilment of our self-imposed seventeen episode commitment, this was to be the last show to be performed by our Earth-1 players. We opened our teleconference lines, shut off the recorders, and let everyone who called in join the fray. No subject, no moderation of any real sort. Hey, almost like the rest of the series! Special thanks to everyone who called in and joined us to send Occulterati to... ANOTHER DIMENSION!?;
