  • Surprisingly not annoying

    I usually don’t like podcasts featuring friends chatting because it makes me feel like I’m eavesdropping on the next table while I wait for my chronically late friend to arrive. Brian and Dan are the exception for some reason I can’t place. Also, as a new mom, I’ve been on a sabbatical from taste and culture. This pod is slowly pulling me out from under my rock. Thank you!

  • Perfect Pod?

    In the world of two guys talking pods, this one is perfect. There isn’t a more fine tuned cultural pod that is relevant, funny and knowledgeable. Chopping it up about Latronico’s Perfection, Jia Tolentino gossip and tennis. These guys love tennis. Middlebrow is the most fitting name. It’s not for everyone but it is very much for me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Downtown Funk w/ Mark Ronson
Q: How did it feel to perform on SNL?
Mark Ronson recalls his SNL performance as one of his absolute career highlights, particularly because of his lifelong admiration for the show.
Downtown Funk w/ Mark Ronson
Q: What was your inspiration for writing Night People?
The book was inspired partly by the loss of friends from that time and the impact of COVID-19 on nightlife, prompting a reflection on the culture of DJing during the 90s.
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.
