    been listening to / reading these guys’ work for almost a decade now— always love their balance of depth of thinking with refusing to take themselves too seriously ❤️

    the podcast version is like… think of a ginger shot. but it’s art criticism. only way more fun. and it sets off a multitude of thoughts that keep blossoming within you for weeks and months to come. so nothing like a ginger shot really. except their ideas melt your brain in a really good way. tldr; listen! it’ll be good for you!
