No Exist Radio° was a special 8 episode, 60 min experimental podcast originally aired on Istanbul-based online community radio station Radyo Modyan. Each episode was created and produced by Così e Così during the two weeks prior to its broadcast, and was developed in theme and narrative each subsequent episode. Every episode is unique with different contributing artists, approaches, & musical themes, and can be listened to as stand-alone "albums", but also, taken as a whole, it is an experiential journey, as intended, revealing an ambitious poem on self-delusion, layers of reality, alienation, spirituality, time, memory, the mysteries of love, and the question of whether this can all be connected.
