About this listen

"BAM! Now You Know Everything" is a punchy, unfiltered podcast where art, writing, and weird culture collide. Hosts Nico Harlakenden and J.R. Phillips dive into the creative process, fringe theories, internet rabbit holes, and the occasional unhinged publishing take. It's part pep talk, part postmodern fever dream — but with better lighting and no cults (probably). If you make stuff, think too much, or have a folder of government PDFs for "research," this one's for you.
