Chillpak Hollywood Hour #300
“Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty… For tonight, we dine in hell!”
That’s a quote from the movie 300 and as this is the 300th episode of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour, it seemed appropriate. It’s also appropriate for there is much talk of Hell on this installment, which is full of the nourishing conversation that is the cornerstone of any hearty Spartan breakfast!
This might be the first episode where your friends in podcasting have ever discussed Heaven and Hell, Evangelicalism and prophetesses!
Recorded this weekend at the Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles, Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness welcome special guest Susan Larison Danz, who hosts the Frontier Beyond Fear radio program.
Enjoy much comedy, consciousness, conspiracy and even talk of movies!
Plus, there’s a very touching tribute to musical legend and genuine truth-seeker Reg Presley, who died this past week. Reg was a friend to Dean and Phil and he contributed a great deal to their film The Truth Is Out There.
