Welcome to Season 7 of The Witch Wave! Chris Fleming is an American comedian whose viral videos and standup specials have earned him millions of fans. His blend of gender-bending fashion, elastic physicality, obscure observations, addictively silly original songs, and adoration of unhinged puppets is an irresistible comedic brew. He is perhaps best known for his YouTube series Gayle, in which he stars as the titular high-strung suburban mom Gayle Waters-Waters, though Pam first encountered his work a couple years back when his TikTok video “Witch Summer” got sent to her by pretty much every witch she knows. Chris’s tremendous new standup special, HELL, is out on Peacock now. He is currently based in LA, and you can catch him live in a city near you soon. On this season premiere episode, Chris discusses his ongoing fascination with witches, his relationship to spirituality and subversive feminine forces, and how comedy can transmute fear into magic. Pam also talks about the potent and playful aspects of her recent Grecian odyssey, and answers a listener question about how to reanchor oneself after a loss. Our sponsors for this episode are Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, Mithras Candle, BetterHelp, New Moon Magic by Risa Dickens and Amy Torok (North Atlantic Books), Sphere + Sundry, and The Psyche Magic podcast We also have brand new print-on-demand merch like Witch Wave shirts, sweatshirts, totes, stickers, and mugs available now here.
