(SPF 1000) Vampire Sunscreen

KUT & KUTX Studios, Laurie Gallardo

In (SPF 1000) Vampire Sunscreen host Laurie Gallardo simply asks one question of her guests: What is the darkness to you? Or, what is dark to you? The conversations that arise from this range from heartbreaking to inspiring, and get to the heart of the guests’ personal philosophies, internal struggles, and creative journeys. In having these conversations, Laurie hopes to inspire listeners to reflect on their own experiences with darkness, and perhaps connect to others on their own journey.
