This episode is part one of my conversation with Joshua Nichols, an artistic fellow at the Center for American Culture and Ideas. Get ready for a deeply phiolosophical discussion about the pragmatic versus the beautiful, the nature of transcedence, the democratization of art, whether culture should be curated - and by whom, and who decides what is good. Sometimes Josh and I see eye to eye, and sometimes we don't. I'd love tfor you to share your thoughts on this episode!

*Since this episode aired, I have learned more about MuseScore's updates, and it is apparently better than I thought, so please disregard my disparaging comments.
