Garden Level

Emmy Award-winning CNN supervising producer Pallavi Reddy joins us this week. We discuss producing at CNN while attending Harvard Business School, eating crab rangoon pizza in Des Moines, and Alex drunk-texting his parents.

Youcef's childhood friend and now doctor Matthew Elliott Sachs joins us to discuss the recent presidential debate, live births on Instagram, and therapeutic ketamine.

Joey Schaefer (@jb_schaefer) sits down with us to discuss poor tattoo design, basketball expectations, and viral penguins.

This week Nia Keturah (@niaketurah) and Diane D'Costa (@diane_dcosta) join us to talk about creating artwork for Willow Smith, Nia's previous rap career, the sexiness of LeBron, and how Drake's kid is definitely not real.

Micah E. Wood (@MicahElie) & Christopher J. Chester (@Christojchester) join us this week to discuss the music scene in Baltimore, Micah's new self-titled album, photo etiquette at concerts, and more. Also, Youcef was supposed to order a fourth mic, but it turns out he never actually hit the purchase button. So the audio is a bit echo-y at times, and you should tweet at him and tell him how bad he sucks.

Slate tech journalist Aaron Mak (@aarontmak) joins us to discuss the cameras that are hidden in your AirBnB and how to properly bother a celebrity. 

Paul Turner (@Digital_PaulT) joins us to discuss our old jobs at Discovery Channel, the art of blurring nudity for television, DNA testing, and Game Of Thrones.
