We’re back! And we have a new episode from San Francisco, where it looks like we’ll be living for a while. Evgenia and I talk about the enduring power of The Californian Ideology, despite the obvious cracks in it. And I talk about about how it feels to back in here — the place where I spent my formative immigrant years — after moving away for twenty years.
We’ll be back on a regular schedule from now on.
