The Headspace Podcast

Hosted by Xavier Reichbaum, founder of the independent multi-media production company Headspace Productions, this podcast presents listeners with an introspective and existential approach to media analysis. Each episode, Xavier will discuss a select film, theatre production, novel, game, or album and break down the themes and messages present within it, applying them to the larger ideas of human existence in an attempt to make sense of the seemingly eternal existential crisis that is life. This podcast provides listeners with a deeply personal and authentic approach to the way we discuss art and artistic expression.
