Podcast by Andrew Ari Clibanoff

The PAUSE

Radio show and podcast providing sanctuary for the wild ones. Ghosts Ari and Ash co-host a loosely scripted, surreal radio parody exploring cultural production in alignment with ecological intelligence in the multiverse of Knoxville. As visual, environmental, and musical artists, Ari and Ash practice emergent strategies experimenting with radio as art medium. Featuring improvised interviews, stories, and music, The PAUSE is both poetic and humorous inquiry into the sound of our voices in relation to the times and place we inhabit.

Season Two: Premiere for a Glass Ear (S2E1)

Season Two Premiere, broadcasted live on Thursday, 31 July 2025, Ari and Ash reunite after a month-long summer break. Ari shares his musical work-in-progress with Emmy Carter and Ash gets emotional around the precious. Despite a long hiatus from the studio, they manage to get their butts to sing, literally. Then metaphorically in the form of chanting to their ancestors of visual art. Worth listening to every surprise that comes in this episode.
