ETHAN PERSOFF, INTL TARIFF EXPERT

2025 UPDATE

Hi, everyone! As I write this, the world is falling apart. Tariffs built to break the planet, lies, greed, the theft of the country. Hilarious comedy! I hope you are well. Some good projects to describe, however:

SPOKEN WORD WITH ELECTRONICS TV (SWWE TV for short)

After practicing with broadcast gear enough to feel competent, I've started a Youtube channel. I'm a little late to the game on this, apparently, as I read there are a few other billion of you on Youtube. But this show is different. This show is meant to not make sense. This show is a refreshing dip into acid ideas and fun hallucinatory visuals. Video synthesis on old gear, pressing illegal color (the actual broadcast term that blends sound and video together into a bleed) and I'm having a blast. You're very encouraged to check out the channel, subscribe, and share. I'm completing about one new episode every month. Here's the first few:





Issue five of Charlie Pickle now available in print and digital. More on this soon. But wanted to refresh the front page as it's been a while.

Thank you, especially if you're protesting.
