Sam Steps On The Gas | Litro Lab Podcast

Picture credits: Alvin Harp

He’s been driving for hours. Driving West. He’s now in the middle of New Mexico. He feels good despite the exhaustion. He’s focused laser-like on the road. It’s a cold dessert night One of those nights when the stars are painfully vivid, and lizards’ blood begins to freeze.

– Gideon Berger

This week on Litro Lab podcast, we have an experimental piece with original music. On a time when many of us are stranded in one place – do you ever dream of taking a solo road trip? Get out of your house to join Sam while he drives through the desert at night. This will be a journey full of bizarre occurrences in which reality becomes gradually weird, visceral, and even sensual.
