#24 - The 5-Year Hand Model Plan


Listen Later

Ben and Jonas are once again flying duo this week, discussing the value of 5 year plans, and the merits of being cheesemakers, hand models, and glassblowers. As ever, tangents are not only encouraged, but relied upon. 

Inès will be back for the recording next week!

[1] You can read more about the 'Stanford' plan, actually called the Odyssey Plan, here - https://tinyurl.com/fiveyearhandmodel. In true Tangentialists fashion, we end up taking a loose interpretation of our source material. In reality, the plan is designed to combat the monotony of the 5 year plan (which we end up critiquing), and we'd encourage you take a look and make your own assessment on it (as with anything we say, of course).

[2] Blown Away, a 2-series Reality TV show about Glass Blowing, is available on Netflix.

[3] Jonas mentions the Duchamp fountain/urinal, put in the Grand Central Palace in New York in 1917. You can read more about it here: https://tinyurl.com/fountainurinal
