Episode 127: Psychedelia Comes Down, Hangs Around and Gets Reinvented

  1. Episode 127: Psychedelia Comes Down, Hangs Around and Gets Reinvented Evergreen Podcasts 33:17

For one last time, we’re delving into the depths of our expanded minds to talk about the impact of psychedelia on popular culture. We may have been at the bar a bit too long getting our minds…expanded. We have a lot to talk about today as we discuss what happened with psychedelia after The Summer of Love and Woodstock.

(Spoiler alert: Nothing like going mainstream to kill a counterculture style.)

So help us out by grabbing a couple of Flaming Unicorns as we come back down to earth, right here in the bar.

Todd Coats & Elliot Strunk Co-Hosts of Two Designers Walk Into a Bar

Two Designers Walk Into a Bar is a podcast about iconic design and popular culture.

Hosted by graphic designers and collectors Todd Coats and Elliot Strunk, the podcast is constantly looking at pop culture and thinking about how it influences us and what we do for a living. Starting with a theme, we choose iconic work that we find meaningful and use humor and insight to break it down, turn it inside out and try to understand why it has stood the test of time. Two Designers Walk Into a Bar encourages listeners to dive into their libraries, mini storage units or memories with us.

Our website has each episode plus transcripts, notes and other extras.
