  • Alabama Young Woman Loves the Pod

    I’m 30 years old and just moved back to my hometown in Alabama after living in California for half a decade. The Pod has been a respite along my journey from LA back to AL, a crucial link between my past and present life. Don’t get me wrong- I love Alabama. But having this connection to cultural musings and goings on within artsy fartsy spaces brings me much joy, new information, and amusement. Thank yall for your gabbing as I look forward to listening to your thoughts and criticism (mostly Dan ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Where Is The Decorum w/ Theodore Bouloukos
Q: What do you think happened to the standards in film and fashion?
There was a standard for taste and style upheld by editors and stewards, which we've lost, leading to a world that's very disposable and absurd.
Where Is The Decorum w/ Theodore Bouloukos
Q: Are you sort of migrating to acting, too?
I'm a stand-up when I perform, but I did just get my first role in a feature. It's a day player, but it's like three scenes.
Where Is The Decorum w/ Theodore Bouloukos
Q: Have you noticed that change, the rise of the influencer infecting the film world?
Not so much that. Not indie film anyway. But I just think that independent cinema... has become a more crowded space than it ever was.
Cold Plunge Activism
Q: Are there a lot of people wearing Oasis gear?
Yes, Dan observed groups of individuals, mainly Asian, dressed in Oasis apparel.
Cold Plunge Activism
Q: What does Andrew Huberman say about this? Does this work at all?
Yes, cold plunges work as they introduce your body to some stressors.
