060 - Chris Panatier Talks Sh!tshow

In this episode of Weird Reads, I sit down with author and artist Chris Panatier for a conversation that spans the heavy and the cosmic. We dive into his love of heavy metal bands and how music fuels his creativity, his experience designing album cover art, and why movies like Interstellar capture both the wonder and terror of space.Chris also shares his thoughts on astrophysics, the awe-inspiring scale of the universe, and how writing fiction can be a way to confront your deepest fears. From metal riffs to cosmic dread, this is a discussion that blurs the lines between art, science, and storytelling.Buy Shitshow: https://www.amazon.com/Shitshow-Chris-Panatier-ebook/dp/B0FC1QPTLZChris Panatier Website: https://panatier.com/home.htmlAuthors mentioned:- Jess Hagenann-Josh Rountree- Ned BeaumanSupport Weird Reads:Please rate and review Weird Reads on Apple Podcasts or rate on Spotify!Become a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jason_whiteJoin the Patreon for AD-FREE episodes!Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/weirdreaderEmail me: [email protected] Jason elsewhere:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jasonsweirdreads Join the Weird Reads book club: https://fable.co/club/jasons-weird-reads-book-club-with-jwhite-418694065870?club_type=free#booksJoin the discord: https://discord.gg/RTvcHvWuXaTwitter: @Jason_White74@WeirdReadsPodIntro music created by DudeAwesome from Freesound.[Freesound - “Scary Haunting Cinematic Style Mix Sound Effects.flac” by DudeAwesome](https://freesound.org/people/DudeAwesome/sounds/490055/
