Mortal Machine Podcast
The Mortal Machine Podcast is an extension of Mortal Machine Gallery, hosted by gallery founder and curator Gabriel Shaffer alongside New Orleans comedian Chris Trew. Recorded in and around the French Quarter, the podcast explores art, creativity, comedy, and culture through candid conversations with artists, musicians, writers, performers, and cultural lifers.

Listen / Watch
Equal parts thoughtful and irreverent, the Mortal Machine Podcast favors real talk over industry polish - diving into process, survival, success, failure, and the strange paths creative lives tend to follow.
With a rotating cast of guests and on-location recordings, the show captures the voices and atmosphere of contemporary creative culture, rooted firmly in New Orleans but reaching far beyond.
The vibe
Thoughtful, irreverent, and unapologetically human - real talk over industry polish.
