Never Post’s producers are Audrey Evans, Georgia Hampton and The Mysterious Dr. Firstname Lastname. Our senior producer is Hans Buetow. Our executive producer is Jason Oberholtzer. The show’s host is Mike Rugnetta.
The aim of constructive uncertainty
lies in the corner between two windows. Such that
we, welcoming the indistinct, unlocks the door

We abstracts the whistled body
of the world. The hazards of this opposition
become clear: the ear listens to what
becomes it, the blood flowing through it.
