Erick and Samantha sit down with Seven Istheman—Artist, Poet, and Madman. No script. No filter.From his book Exile in Rosedale to the forgotten corners of recording and music history, Seven moves between worlds like it’s nothing. We get into the past, the process, and the shift—where music is going, and what it means to create in a time where AI is part of the conversation. Not as a shortcut… but as a creative tool. There’s a blurry line between madman and genius— and Seven makes that place his home. This one goes deep, gets weird, and lands somewhere real.

The Lost Podcaster – The Samantha Sessions | Episode 5In Episode 5 of The Samantha Sessions, things go exactly where they always do… everywhere.We start out in familiar territory with Samantha’s usual marijuana smoky smoke, easing into the vibe before jumping into the latest episode of Primal and why it hits so damn hard. From there, the conversation takes a hard turn—as it should—into illegal immigration, ICE, and the uncomfortable realities most people either scream about or refuse to talk about honestly.Somewhere along the way we end up ranting about assholes in pickup trucks, the decline of basic decency, and why old movies still manage to say more than most modern ones. As always, the tangents pile up, the topics collide, and the filters stay off.And of course, Samantha does what she does best—ranting, cutting through the bullshit, and saying exactly what she thinks, whether it makes people comfortable or not.No script. No safe opinions.Just two people talking shit, asking questions, and letting the conversation go where it wants.Welcome back to The Lost Podcaster.
