  • Question Five with Grace Usleman

    I'm so excited to share this 5th episode of Defeating the Purpose! I talked with my friend, Grace Usleman, and asked her the 5th of the 36 Questions: "When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?" Music is always a fun conversation topic with Grace, and we talked so much there might even be a bonus episode later on featuring some of the stuff I had to cut out of this episode. Happy listening!

  • Question Three with Luc Pierce

    In this episode of Defeating the Purpose, I had a nice chat with my friend, Luc Pierce, and we answered the third of the 36 Questions: Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why? With this question, we talked about communication trends in our generation, as well as how COVID 19 has affected them. Disclaimer: My guests and I are always wearing masks, contributing to muffled audio, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Thanks for listening!

  • Question Two with Isa Garcia

    I had so much fun recording Question 2 with my friend, Isa Garcia. I asked her, "Would you like to be famous? In what way?" We talked about celebrities and fame and a few of her stories from New York. Disclaimer: Audio gets better a few mins into the episode, sorry for the first few minutes though. Thanks for listening!

    On this first episode of "Defeating the Purpose," I'm asking two of my friends the question, "Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?" While answering the question, we also happen to talk about Aquaman, Home Alone 2, and the correct pronunciation of "Phoebe." Thanks @sedonagrace.mp4 for the intro and outro music!
