Esoterica the Podcast discussions are a conversation that borders on the offbeat and unusual. On Esoterica the Podcast, hosts Chris Schultz and Aaron Christian offer a multigenerational look at obscure and esoteric pop culture; covering music, movies, books, or whatever grabs their interest.
It is a dark time for the Esoterica. Although the Old Format has been destroyed, Chris and Aaron have driven the show from it's tried and true methods and created something less likely to make you fall asleep.
Welcome to Season 4! New season, new format, same guys, still no pants (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSAWB4wL3qw). Joining us today is Marty (@OliverRedboots (https://twitter.com/OliverRedboots)) from the Rod in Flagon Podcast (https://www.buzzsprout.com/1721409) talking to us about his podcast and helping us feel out this new format!

Loss of the Lizard Lady (w/ Molly Harvey)
For a decade, Molly Harvey (https://www.instagram.com/msmollyharvey/) was the female voice and presence in The Residents. She gave voice to some of their most memorable and loved songs.
Molly joins us to discuss her time with the mysterious band, what’s been happening in her life, and what exciting things she has coming up. We also briefly discuss the 2018 release Loss of the Lizard Lady (The Molly Harvey Collection) (https://secretrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-residents-loss-of-the-lizard-lady-the-molly-harvey-collection-sr13). This is a compilation released on Bandcamp featuring songs fronted by Molly, both live and studio. From the website:
A collection of songs fronted by Molly Harvey between 1994 and 2005. Includes one full-length LP of studio recordings and one full-length LP of live material. Take it all in and realize what an important and amazing addition Molly was to the ever-morphing and mysterious Residents. 20 out of 24 of these tunes have never been on vinyl. 8 of them have never even been on CD and another 8 were only on rare, limited edition CDs. So grab this wonderful tribute to a wonderful weirdo.
After you check out our interview, make sure to listen to and download the album (https://secretrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-residents-loss-of-the-lizard-lady-the-molly-harvey-collection-sr13?from=embed)!
