Producers Note: we do a reading series about halfway through this episode about a coffee shop closing. Ive since learned the couple who owns it are Harvard alum and professors, who moved to eastern Kentucky to I dunno… civilize the place? Also the husband started his first tech company with connections to the Jeffrey Epstein funded MIT Media Lab. So, speaking only for myself (Josh), i actually feel I went too easy on them. Anyway, on with the show.

This ones an all-timer folks. It hits every genre, segment, and topic this podcast has historically represented: Media critique, loneliness and existential dread, the resulting dip into conspiracy, the causation of abusive capital, the dating climate, and so much more.
