In this episode I’m joined by my friend Avneet Kaur, and we talk about how stories manifest in the real world, the emotional side of creativity, and—what we’ve all experienced at some point—the desire to rebel.

More adventures in metal scenery, theories about why desk chairs keep appearing on this nearby hill, and a wild magic idea that I’ll probably never do.

In this episode: am I a performer? What’s so scary about line-following robots? How many times will I go to the hardware store this week? Plus a sunrise finale.

For our very first episode, we’re joined by my friend and longtime collaborator, Jason Simon, who is an executive producer for the show. We discuss the show’s origin, some anecdotes of its development, adventures in 24-hour restaurants in the city, and contemplate if mosquitos have their own economy.
