Episode 41: Kodak's "Nuclear Moment"
<p>SORRY FOR THE AUDIO, WIETZE LOST HER MIC ADAPTER :,)</p><p></p><p>Rochester, NY has been the home of photography since George Eastman perfected the photographic process in the flower city. Eastman’s success in analog photography created a booming business that turned into an empire. This empire rose and became the economical foundation to the city, and with that came great power. A purchase of a camera meant the purchase of film, which meant potential print orders and more film . With a business model goldmine that created repeat costumers, Kodak’s power extended far beyond the world of capturing moments. Behind closed doors, Kodak was harboring a massive secret, one that still leaves locals shaking in their docs. The above ground factories and buildings are only a small portion of what at one time existed in Kodak park. <b>Hidden deep beneath the buildings lived Kodak’s darkest and most dangerous secret, one that had the potential to obliterate an entire community. </b></p><p></p><p><i>Note: All information presented in this episode is sourced material as noted below.

Episode 40: Transmutation Of Pain & A "Haunted" Painting
<p><b>YAY, WE HAVE MADE IT TO EPISODE 40!!!!! :) :) :) Thank you to everyone who listens, new and old. We are continuously humbled by your support.</b></p><p></p><p></p><p>As human beings, we are both blessed and cursed to be able to experience all consuming emotions; from pure love and joy, to the immense sadness we feel when we lose someone we love. Our emotions are powerful. Have you ever felt the piercing stare of a foe from across the room? What about the pulse of electric current you feel when you’re in the midst of a whirlwind romance? Emotions are energy, and energy is power. </p><p>Where does our grief go when we finally decide to release it? The transmutation of pain has been a common motif across all art forms, as art has been used as the medium of healing. </p><p>But what if all these emotions released by the artist live on in the piece, trapped until they can be released into their next form?</p><p>Today we talk about loss, coping as artists, and a painting that may still hold the suffering of the artist who created it. Do you believe in haunted paintings?</p><p></p><p>Welcome to Who R U? Curious Stories Of Family Lore</p><p></p><p>Trigger Warnings:</p><p>Death, intubation, suicide, addiction</p><p></p><p></p><p>Sources:</p><p></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://theartedge.faso.com/blog/66784/the-anguished-man-a-paranormal-painting" target="_blank">https://theartedge.faso.com/blog/66784/the-anguished-man-a-paranormal-painting</a></p><p></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/creepy/comments/9k4fuy/the_anguished_man/" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/creepy/comments/9k4fuy/the_anguished_man/</a></p><p></p><p></p>
