On Cue

Intense Performances

Liz Gallacher and Trish Sie Season 1 Episode 43

Emotions are running high in the world at the moment, so we're leaning into it and discussing passionate, raw performances in music and film. From the violently cathartic to the tender and vulnerable, we're exploring artists who went out on a limb to show us something challenging, uncomfortable, heartbreaking, or straight-up strange.

Also, Trish's favorite thing this week is the set of Sabian Symbols, one for each degree of the Zodiac wheel.

We love hearing from you! Got a question or topic for discussion in a future episode? Please email us or send a voice memo to hello@oncuepodcast.com.
