Frissonaise is the name of my first podcast. Myself and my co-host Kevin Kalahiki and I explore the meanings and sources of the experience of frisson or “aesthetic chills."

We will discuss cinema, music, and experiences with nature and culture that inspire us and lead us to understand this strange psychophysiological phenomenon better.
