About this listen

 Self Portraits as Other People is a hyper-creative, psycho-active variety show wherein multidimensional artist, filmmaker, voice-actor, and wordsmyth The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo engages his guests in social storytelling to mindfully and artfully investigate where the limits of language meet the fringes of Reality. Praise The Lore! The show intrepidly treads the terrain of the trickster, constantly defying, redefining, and refining itself. Each episode is its own schizovereign entity, but there are themes that are built upon from pod to pod--themes like Consciousness and the Bicameral Mind, Divination, Folklore, Daemonic reality, Magic, Language, Psychedelics, Creativity, Dreams, Art, Poetry, Cinema, Ecology, literature, Animism, Precognition, Shamanism, and so on. Each episode is preceded by an intricately sound-scaped introduction that offers the invisible listener a lens through which to view the conversation that is to follow, along with otherwise cosmic, comedic, and contemplative content. The shownotes offer hyperlinked rabbitholes that will allow you to dig deeper into wonderlands touched upon on air. Occasionally a solo pod is bath-bombed into the stream to showcase stand-alone story fragments that have escaped from the dark archives of never before released materials, or from the vaults of "Patreon-only". Right from the start, SPAOP wasted no time jumping off the deep end into the highlands, linguistically levitating somewhere between the fatherland and the mothership, where laughing angels drink from the crying well and the cosmic giggle reflects its cracked smile on the surface of the shattered mirror-pool. If you're new here, and are wondering where to start, you are invited to listen in any order. Start at the last episode for the most cutting edge, newest now, and track back from there to witness the devolution, or start at the beginning and work your way up to the present, or pick a pod with a title & description that piques your curiosity. The choice is yours. We'd love to hear from you, so don't hesitate to reach out, and/or leave a review. www.theungoogleable.com2019 - 2024 (c) Void & Imagination Art Philosophy Social Sciences Spirituality

  • Eric Wargo - Willing To Time Travel

    Eric Wargo - Willing To Time Travel
    Oct 18 2024

    Eric Wargo, author of “Time Loops” and “Precognitive Dreamwork & the Long Self,” returns to Self Portraits As Other People to talk about his new book “From Nowhere: Artists, Writers, and the Precognitive Imagination.” We navigate the nebulous c-word and the various facets of its counterpart The Unconscious, the role the body plays in precognitive phenomena, themes of archetypal inversion, the need to strip away the time travel tropes that keep us from clear exploration, the implications of time travel trauma, and more. For those unfamiliar with Wargo’s work I recommend first checking out his previous appearance in ep 16: The Preciousness of The Prescient Present, for an entry level to his ideas.

  • These Old Haunts

    These Old Haunts
    Aug 6 2024

    “My guest is the house that hosts me and I am the ghost that haunts it.”

    This bi-coastal episode is a meditation on the meaning of home as a locational vibration, from the nomadic vantage point of a perpetual “stranger passing through town.”

    The 1st half examines the subconscious sonic textures through which places speak to us. I recorded this segment while going through a deep emotional process, in Los Angeles, shortly after finishing my intense anti-leishmanial medicine cycle, and before leaving for New York.

    After a sonic interlude the 2nd half takes place in the insomniac city, where I quantum leap from sublet to sublet, and these temporary home-bodies I borrow from strangers—spaces “literally haunted by the absence of their presence”—become Self Portraits As Other People.

    In addition to my own compositions the episode features original musical contributions by Jeff Cravath and Brian Aspell.

  • When I Met Werner Herzog (Akainst My Bettr Chudgment)

    When I Met Werner Herzog (Akainst My Bettr Chudgment)
    Feb 26 2024

    In this improvised walk-and-talk monoloque I reflect on (and atone for) the time I met Werner Herzog at the premiere of lan Cheney’s documentary film “Arc of Oblivion.”

    I use this anecdote as a jump off point to share thoughts about documentation, impersonation, Spiritualism as Proto-feminism, my time working as a photo double for the Riggs character in the Lethal Weapon TV show, the relative duration of objective vs subjective time, the parasocial reality of meeting celebrities, and the redemptive arc of self-esteem-punking oneself in order to give in to the humbling & the bumbling.
