we spent a bunch of time putting together this super secret series and you cannot listen to most of it unless you give us money. it’s about how to be a hater. an ethical one. this is the first episode and it features the pulitzer prize nominee critic craig s. jenkins, who popped in from his post as new york magazine’s in-house arbiter of objective musical quality to weigh in on what’s worth hating on and not, how to use magic to manipulate people’s minds, when to stop going so hard on twitter, and whether ramriddlz or sia has made the worst song of all time. 

if you’ve ever wondered if the writer craig s. jenkins was the same craig s. jenkins who makes our music, the answer is yes. craig is a budding synth wiz and we talk about that in the episode too. lotta good nersey lore in this episode in general tbh.
