  • Please reconsider your sponsor…

    Adore your podcast, insightful and refreshing. However, please reconsider your sponsors- Anthropic- Claud AI is being used by the US in their attacks against Iran!!!

    Please look into, Ezra Klein has done a piece on this.

  • Reproducing Dangerous Mechanisms

    Bella and her guests complement each other for being rich and normatively attractive by assuming others are jealous and that‘s despicable.

Thom Browne
Q: Where do your rules about clothes come from?

Thom Browne
Q: Can you tell me what you're wearing today and why you chose these particular clothes?

David Byrne
Q: You talk about the zone between the known and the unknown as a place that feels good—why is that?

David Byrne
Q: Can you tell me what you're wearing today and why you chose these particular clothes?

Christy Turlington
Q: What did Stephen Maizel bring out in you?
He treated me like everyone else. He treated me like, you know, what do you want to do? What do you want to listen to?
