We bring rapper and writer David Simmons on to talk about The Wire, no rules in writing, writing what you know, the origin of the phrase “whole time,” machine fetishism, gun sex, and Alejandro Jodorowksy’s meditation room that was so disturbing it freaked out Shinya Tsukamoto and Gaspar Noe.

I mention Tiqqun in this episode, so I feel like it’s a good idea to point Agitator listeners to the Contain podcast, which is a great source for cool ideas.
