This week, we are examining the concept of taste. How it develops, what influences it, and why it always seems to be changing. We also discuss what we've been reading, watching, listening to, and following.

What you'll hear:

• Do we all think we have good taste?
• The ways our tastes have evolved
• How society influences taste
• Whether we identify as conformists or innovators
• What we've been reading, watching, listening to, and following

Can I quote you on that?

• "The way that I would think about good taste it defining 'good' as 'refined'." Jacey
• "We are biased to see change in ourself and in our tastes as progress." Jacey
• "A sign of maturity is a willingness to change your mind." Jacey
• "Sometimes success is defined by creating something new versus creating something good." Maggie
• "Beep beep boop beep boop." Maggie
• "We all want to be on the bandwagon, but we want to be the first ones there." Maggie
