Ever wonder what happens when a mother and daughter, both working artists, get together and just talk about the things that light up their brains? That’s the heart of SPLANCHNICS: The Society for the Preservation of Literature, the Arts, Numinosity, Culture, Humor, Nerdiness, Inspiration, Creativity & Storytelling. Hosts Clare Walker and Hannah Kubiak have built a space that feels like pulling up a chair in their studio, where conversations roam freely from the latest novel or must-watch series to the quirks of theater, visual art, and even the grammatical errors that make them laugh. They approach it all with a blend of genuine passion and a wink-hence their tagline about being a "very serious" operation. This podcast is a celebration of the creative sparks found everywhere, from high art to pop culture deep dives. Each episode feels like a lively, unscripted chat between two people who love not just consuming stories and art, but picking them apart to see what makes them tick. You’ll hear the easy rapport of family, the insight of practitioners, and the joy of shared obsessions. It’s for anyone who finds themselves endlessly curious about the worlds of fiction, the magic in a well-told story, or the simple pleasure of a good, nerdy debate. Tune in for a refreshingly irreverent take on preserving and reveling in all the things that make human creativity so wonderfully bizarre and essential.
