    Episode 359 Karen Fiorito
    Sep 26 2026
    Karen Fiorito returns to The Lydian Spin. On this episode, Lydia and Tim talk with her about The Urgency of Now: ¡No Pasarán!, a new multi-disciplinary political art exhibition and "Get Out The Vote" activation. Curated by Karen, Dale Youngman, and Isa Gordon, the project is a direct response to the current political climate, with the United States at the center of conflict and upheaval around the world—from Venezuela, Cuba, Canada, and the Russia/Ukraine war, to Trump's unnecessary war with Iran. The exhibition bridges historic movements of civil resistance with today's landscape, featuring local and international artists including Lydia Lunch, Dread Scott, Kim Abeles, Sue Coe, Guillermo Bert, Andre Miripolsky, Rick Robinson, Man One, and Karen will be exhibiting as well. Exhibition Details: The Urgency of Now October 1 – 31 Gloria Delson Contemporary Art (GDCA) 727 South Spring Street, Los Angeles

    Episode 358 Filmmaker Todd Stephens & Actor Birkett "Kett" Turton
    Sep 6 2026
    Filmmaker Todd Stephens is best known for his semi-autobiographical "Ohio Trilogy" — Edge of Seventeen (1998), Gypsy 83 (2001) and Swan Song (2021) — all set in his home town of Sandusky. Gypsy 83, his directorial debut, follows two small-town goth outsiders who leave Ohio for New York, chasing Gypsy's dream of performing at Night of a Thousand Stevies, the long-running celebration of Stevie Nicks. Twenty-five years on, Stephens has re-edited the film from frame one and restored it in 4K from the original 35mm negative, adding over forty minutes of unseen footage and an expanded soundtrack featuring The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Echo and the Bunnymen, Ministry and Clan of Xymox. It stars Sara Rue, Karen Black, John Doe and Birkett "Kett" Turton, whose performance as Clive won the Grand Jury Award for Outstanding Actor at Outfest. Turton made his debut in Rollercoaster (1999), later trained at RADA, and has since appeared in Blade: Trinity, Saved!, Dead Last, Kingdom Hospital, iZombie, The Flash and Keeper.
