Oona stands legs apart and wide in a strong stance, The sunset is glowing beneath her crotch. She is holding one arm wide, and the long tassels of her leather jacket hang down from her bicep.

In this episode Dan is joined by musician, artist, and force of nature Bek Coogan to listen to selections from her diverse manifestations throughout the ages.

Bek Coogan (MFA, Massey) is an artist/musician based in Karori, Wellington, originally from Te Papaioea. Her bands have included Cortina, Full Fucking Moon and the some-times collaboration with Fantasing. Bek also performs solo as Sheville, or Oona Verse. “Art is Important “ – to quote her Fantasing band mate Gemma Syme. Once described in P-Club promo as “backyard Da-Da”, Bek’s just pretty keen for everybody to feel more liberated.
