  • Dope Excerpts — Ep 05 / My Own Devices
    In this episode, I'll be reading a chapter from Dessa's book "My Own Devices." This is the longest read yet, and I know there are some little mess-ups on my part in the read, but hey, I'm just some guy trying his best, okay? Dessa is a rapper and writer from Minneapolis, and I couldn't recommend this book more. Cop it. And thanks for listening.

  • Dope Excerpts — Ep 04 / Einstein's Dreams
    In this episode, I'm reading a bit of physicist Alan Lightman's phenomenal book "Einstein's Dreams." Each of the books 30 vignettes is a sort of speculative fable, exploring time through the eyes of a young Albert Einstein. Thanks for listening.

  • Dope Excerpts — Ep02 / Politics of Design

    In this episode, I read a bit from the amazing Politics of Design, by Ruben Pater. Specifically, this excerpt explores the history of Blackletter typography, Nazism and typography, and design and privilege. No small subjects, also, your host awkwardly ends the podcast with "see you soon... bye" which doesn't make sense as it's a podcast and not a phone call with his aunt. He's trying, okay?
